Design Your Own Data Model With Schema Builder

Schema Builder provides a dynamic environment for viewing and modifying all the objects and relationships in your app. This greatly simplifies the task of designing, implementing, and modifying your data model, or schema. Schema Builder is enabled by default.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: All Editions

Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.

You can view your existing schema and interactively add new custom objects, custom fields, and relationships, simply by dragging and dropping. Schema Builder automatically implements the changes and saves the layout of your schema any time you move an object. This eliminates the need to click from page to page to find the details of a relationship or to add a new custom field to an object in your schema.

Schema Builder provides details like the field values, required fields, and how objects are related by displaying lookup and master-detail relationships. You can view the fields and relationships for both standard and custom objects.

To access Schema Builder, from Setup, enter Schema Builder in the Quick Find box, then select Schema Builder.

Schema Builder lets you add the following to your schema:

  • Custom objects
  • Lookup relationships
  • Master-detail relationships
  • All custom fields except: Geolocation
