title: Create Custom Objects
|
|
description: Step-by-step guide to creating custom objects in Twenty.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Custom objects let you store information unique to your business that standard objects don't cover. For example: Projects, Products, Tickets, or Listings.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
**Not sure if you need an object or a field?** See [Understanding Your Data Model](/user-guide/data-model/overview) for guidance.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings → Data Model**
|
|
2. Click **+ Add object**
|
|
3. Fill in:
|
|
- **Singular name** (e.g., "Listing")
|
|
- **Plural name** (e.g., "Listings")
|
|
- **Icon**
|
|
- **Description** (optional)
|
|
4. Click **Save**
|
|
|
|
Your object appears in the sidebar immediately.
|
|
|
|
## Next: Add Fields
|
|
|
|
New objects start with basic fields. Add custom fields to capture the data you need:
|
|
|
|
1. In **Settings → Data Model**, select your object
|
|
2. Click **+ New Field**
|
|
3. Choose a field type, configure, and save
|
|
|
|
See [How to Create Custom Fields](/user-guide/data-model/how-tos/create-custom-fields) for details on field types and configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Connecting to Other Objects
|
|
|
|
To link your object to People, Companies, or other objects, create a relation field. See [How to Create Relation Fields](/user-guide/data-model/how-tos/create-relation-fields).
|
|
|
|
## Deactivating an Object
|
|
|
|
If you no longer need an object:
|
|
1. Go to **Settings → Data Model → object of choice → Settings**
|
|
2. Click the **Deactivate** button
|
|
|
|
The object is hidden but data is preserved. You can reactivate or permanently delete later.
