Object Definition
Introduction
You can extend the API by creating new custom objects and extending the standard objects with custom properties, You can do this via the API if you have the Administrator or Developer roles, or via the admin UI. For details on how to create and extend objects using the admin UI, see Data Model Setup.
At every level, custom objects and properties are prefixed with
c_ to differentiate them from standard properties that may be placed alongside in a document. For example, retrieving a custom property from a custom object might look like GET /c_records/551ebec0f6b25fd828742de1/c_infoAlthough a standard object's standard properties cannot be modified, custom properties can be added to extensible standard object classes.
Also some of the standard object’s properties can either be overridden or extended, including the
createAcl, defaultAcl and shareAcl.Object Definition
