Creating a Custom Object Using Application Composer


This demonstration shows how to create an object in the Application Composer.

 

This is the first in a series of related demonstrations that use the example of creating a trouble ticket application to illustrate how to create a custom object and the related work area.

 

These demonstrations cover:

 

1. Creating a custom object

2. Adding a long text field to an object

3. Adding a fixed choice list field to an object

4. Adding a dynamic choice list field to an object

5. Creating a work area

6. Testing your work area

 

 


Steps:

  1. Begin by signing in to the Application Composer as a user with an administrator job role.

    Step 1

  2. Select the application where you are creating the object.

     

    In this example, we are adding an object to the Oracle Fusion Sales application and Sales is already selected.

    Step 2

  3. Standard Objects lists the objects delivered with the application. You can extend application objects by adding new fields, for example.

    Step 3

  4. Objects that you create appear under the Custom Objects heading.

    Step 4

  5. Click the Create button.

    Step 5

  6. The Create Custom Object window appears.

    Step 6

  7. In the Display Label field, enter the name for the object that application users will see.

     

    We are creating a trouble ticket application in this example, so enter "Trouble Ticket".

    Step 7

  8. Press [Tab].

    Step 8

  9. The application populates all of the rest of the required fields with the text you entered.

    Step 9

  10. The entry in the Plural Label field is what users will see as the title of the work area. We need to make it plural.

    Step 10

  11. Add an "s" to the text in the Plural Label field.

    Step 11

  12. The Record Name is what identifies each instance of the object in the application. Application Composer automatically creates this field for every custom object.

    Step 12

  13. In our trouble ticket example, this is the field where users enter a brief summary of the issue.

     

    In the Record Name field, enter "Abstract".

    Step 13

  14. Click the OK button.

    Step 14

  15. The list of custom objects now contains the trouble ticket that you created.

    Step 15

  16. The trouble ticket is not visible to users until you create a work area. This is covered in a later demonstration.

    Step 16

This concludes the demonstration of creating an object.
