Creating an XML Definition for an SDF Custom Object in SuiteCloud IDE Plug-in for WebStorm

You create SDF custom objects by creating XML definitions of those objects. The XML files are converted into SDF custom objects when you deploy them to your NetSuite account.

SDF custom objects must be stored in the Objects folder. By default, your deploy file is configured to deploy all SDF custom objects in the Objects folder. For more information, see SuiteCloud Project Deployment Preparation.
