As someone with a tech background who recently started learning Salesforce, I wanted to share a simple way to understand Object, Field, and Record for anyone who might be struggling with these concepts.
Let’s use the Contacts app/phonebook on our phones as an example:
1. Object = contacts.
so, basically the whole contacts list is the object
2. Field = Details about each contact.
eg: name, phone number and so on
3. Record = One person in your contacts.
A record is one complete contact saved in your phone.
eg: name: XYZ, phone: 15678987655 and so on...
Hope this helps!!
