Organize Your Data

Salesforce stores much of your data, like account information, in individual records, and organizes the data within objects. You can view and update your records and run reports on your data.

• What’s the Difference Between Standard and Custom Objects?
  Standard objects, such as accounts, cases, contacts, and opportunities, are included with Salesforce by default. Custom objects are based on standard objects, extend standard functionality, and store information that is unique to an org.
• Find and View Your Data
  Use tabs, search, or lists to look at your records.
• Update Your Data
  Much of your Salesforce data is stored in individual records, and organized within objects. For example, the Account object presents all of your account records. If the Acme company is one of your accounts, you’ll have an account record for Acme.
• Note and Attachment Fields
  There are a number of useful fields available for notes and attachments in Salesforce. There are different fields available for notes taken with Notes, our enhanced note-taking tool, and notes taken with the old note-taking tool.
• Analyze Your Data
  Analyze and visualize your data with reports and dashboards. Salesforce offers a powerful suite of reporting tools that work together to help you understand and act on your data.
