Editing Custom objects overview (section)

=== What is a Custom Object? ===
A '''custom object''' is a template that defines a set of related fields, functioning as a category bucket to store relevant data. It enhances the capabilities of standard objects in ActiveCampaign, providing a way to model data that corresponds uniquely to your business requirements. Custom objects integrate seamlessly with standard '''Contact''', '''Deal''', and '''Account''' objects, appearing within the respective records as they sync to your account.

Custom objects can display up to five different object fields organized in a custom object box. If more than five fields exist for a record, an overflow menu will allow you to view additional fields. Each record shows values only if the corresponding contact, deal, or account is associated with that custom object; otherwise, the fields will remain blank.
