Creating custom objects in Skedulo platform

You can create custom objects and custom fields directly in the Skedulo web application. This automatically maps the custom fields and objects to your GraphQL schema so that you can easily create queries and mutations for use in connected pages or remote querying.

Creating custom objects and fields in Skedulo

1. Open the Skedulo web application and log in to your account.

2. Click your user profile in the upper-right corner, then select Settings > Data objects.

5. Click Create when you have completed the required information.

6. Select your new custom object from the Data objects page and click Add custom field to open the Create Custom Field modal. By default, all objects have a UID field that generates a unique identifier for the object whenever a new entry is created.

   In this example we are creating a custom Name field on the GroupEvent custom object.

   `Name` field type

   Custom fields created using the Skedulo web application do not currently include incrementing Name or Number field types. Custom objects created in the Skedulo web application only include the UID field for unique identification.

12. Select the display settings you want, then click Create.

    

13. On the Data objects page, click Create custom object to open the modal and create the Attendee custom object using the following information:

• Object label: Attendee

  Click Create.
