What is Standard and Custom Fields in Salesforce


Standard Fields
What is a Standard Field?
– Standard Fields are pre-defined in Salesforce
– You cannot delete standard fields but you can remove non-required standard fields from a page layout
Standard Field customizations include the ability to change standard field labels and tabs
  • You can change the display labels of standard tabs, objects, fields, and other related user interface labels so they better reflect your organization’s business requirements.
  • Renamed labels – for example, “Accounts” changed to “Companies” – display on all user pages, in Outlook Edition, and in Offline Edition.
  • It’s important to note that all pages in the Setup area use the default, original labels.
  • Reports and views are not renamed based on the new label value.
Custom Fields
