Create New Custom Object Wizard

Use the Create New Custom Object Wizard to create a custom object. The wizard is available from the pop-up menus of the tree of folders that has the Root Folder at the top.

Custom objects are a general object for use by independent software vendors. Custom objects cannot have versions (that is, you cannot check them out) and do not have content elements. Custom objects can be persistent, they can be filed in a folder, and they do not support document lifecycle functionality.

Using Enterprise Manager, you can subclass the default Custom Object class by opening the Other Classes node, right-clicking the Custom Object icon and choosing New Class and completing the Create a Class wizard. Any subclasses you create in this way will show up in the Create New Custom Object Wizard's list of available classes.
