Create a Prescription object

Here, we'll create a Prescription object. We'll set the object label to "Prescription" and the name to "prescription." Note that all custom objects and property names are automatically prefixed with c_ to help prevent collisions with standard objects and properties. So although we provide the name prescription, it will become c_prescription after saving.

Prescription Definition Object

The object's plural name

Now the Prescription object has been created. All of the details were provided while creating the object except for one detail: Plural Name. The plural name is generated automatically. Use the plural name when referencing your object via the API (for example, GET /c_prescriptions).

Now you're ready to add properties to the custom object.
