Custom Objects
Found in: Data > custom-objectsThe Custom Objects module allows you to define, manage, and customize structured records unique to your organizational processes within the Syncontrol platform. This section is ideal for storing schema-based objects, such as configuration sets, templates, or domain-specific data records that don’t fit standard modules. Administrators can view, create, edit, or delete custom objects, ensuring flexibility and extensibility for business requirements.
Let’s get started 🚀
Navigation
Step 1: Log in to your Syncontrol account and click Data from the top navigation bar.
Step 2: In the dropdown, select Custom Objects.
Alternatively, you can also choose New Custom Object directly for quick creation.
Step 3: You’ll land on the Custom Objects page displaying all existing custom objects. If no objects exist yet, you’ll need to create one (see Create a New Custom Object section below).
The Custom Objects page lists all created objects in a structured table format.
| Ref. | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ID | Unique identifier for each custom object record. |
| 2 | Type | Indicates the schema or classification of the custom object. |
| 3 | Name | Name assigned to the custom object, used for identification. |
| 4 | Created At | Timestamp when the custom object was first created. |
| 5 | Updated At | Timestamp of the most recent update to the custom object. |
Use the search box and per-column filters above the table to quickly find objects by name, type, or creation date. You can also set filters to display deleted objects, filter by type, and adjust how many records appear per page.
Create a New Custom Object
You can add new custom objects, specifying relevant schema and structured data.
Step 1: From the Custom Objects page, click Create a new custom_object at the top-right.
Step 2: The New Custom Object form opens. Fill out the fields described below.
| Ref. | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name (Req.) | Enter a unique name for the object. This identifies it in lists and search results. |
| 2 | Type (Req.) | Select the schema from the dropdown, which governs the data structure of the object. |
| 3 | Data | Define structured data for the object. Add new nodes, attributes, or values as required. |
The “Data” section lets you build the JSON structure or hierarchical attributes for your custom object. Use the provided tree view and controls to add children, edit properties, or remove nodes.
Click Save once all required fields and object data have been entered to save the record.
Once created, custom objects will appear in the Custom Objects list and can be accessed or modified as needed.
