Page Layouts for Custom Objects

Working with page layouts for custom objects is exactly the same as working with page layouts for standard objects.

The only difference is that after you create a custom object, you must manually create its set of custom layouts before you can start to work with them. Custom objects don't have a set of standard layouts.

Create a set of application page layouts for a custom object with a click of a button. Doing so lets Application Composer automatically create the following:

  • Page layouts for the object's set of user interface pages, such as the creation and details pages.

    To learn how to create a set of application pages for a custom object, see Create Application Pages for Custom Objects.

  • A Search and Select dialog, which you can configure.

    To learn how to configure the Search and Select dialog for custom objects, see Configure a Search and Select Dialog Box for Custom Objects.
