# Custom Objects

> Create objects for your business-specific data

## Overview

Custom objects let you track data that doesn't fit into Quivly's core objects. Common examples include implementation projects, success plans, or training sessions.

## Creating a Custom Object

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Object Settings">
    Navigate to **Settings** → **Objects**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Object">
    Click **Add Custom Object** and fill in:

    * **Name** - Display name (e.g., "Implementation Project")
    * **Description** - What this object represents
    * **Icon** - Visual identifier
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Fields">
    After creating the object, add fields to capture your data. See [Custom Fields](/data-models/custom-fields) for field types.
  </Step>
</Steps>
