Plural Label The plural name of the object. This name appears on the tab. Singular Label A name used to refer to the object in any user interface pages. Gender If it's appropriate for your org’s default language, specify the gender of the label. This field appears if the org-wide default language expects gender.

The app quick start:
- Generates an app label and API name (a unique name that's used to refer to the object when using the Lightning Platform API).
- Generates an object label and API name.
- Generates a tab label, and associates the tab with the object.
- Enables feed tracking for the object. Feed tracking lets people follow records of that object type and see Chatter feed updates.
- Enables access to the app and tab in your user profile. Any users who have the Modify All Data permission can also access the object.
- Generates a permission set that grants access to the new custom object.
- Assigns the permission set to the user who creates the app.
Note If you’re in a custom app, only the tabs included in the app appear and include the
Create button.
After you've created an app, you can extend it with more components, specify access settings, and add users to your org.
