Creating custom object relationships

The considerations to be observed when creating object relationships are as follows:

• Create the object relationships as a first step before you start to build the custom fields, page layouts, and any related list

• The Related To entry cannot be modified after you have saved the object relationship

  Note

  Each custom object can have up to two master-detail relationships and up to 25 total relationships.

• When you're planning to create a master-detail relationship on an object, be aware that it can only be created before the object contains record data

• Clicking on Edit List Layout allows you to choose columns for the key views and lookups

• The Standard Name field is required for all custom object-related lists and also for any page layouts
