What is an object?

An object is a category of data in Qwoty: a type of thing your team works with. Each object has a fixed schema of system fields plus, for some of them, custom fields you add to match your business. Open Settings › Data › Data Model to see the full list of objects. The Type column tells you whether you can extend each one.

Standard vs Manageable

​
Manageable objects

These are the objects where you can add custom fields: Quote custom fields live on the Template object: you define them once, enable them per template, and sales reps fill them on each quote.

​
Standard objects

The other objects use a fixed schema. You can browse their fields (useful for API and integration work), but you can’t add custom fields. They include Address, Approval, Billing Frequency, Bundle, Business Unit, Catalog, Contact, Content Block, Customer Segment, Discount, Integration, Payment Method, Payment Term, Price, Pricebook, Product Category, Product Parents, Product Variant Option Definitions, Project, Tax, and Workspace.

​
Reading an object’s field list

Click an object to open its fields. Each field shows its Name, API Name, Type (System or Custom), Data Type, Reference (for relations), API Access (Writable, Read-only, or Creation only), and whether it’s Required. Switch between two view modes at the top of the list:
  • Developer: the full field description shown above
  • Integrator: the API name, data type, and whether each field is required or optional in POST and PATCH API calls
On a manageable object, click + New to add a custom field. Custom fields show the Custom badge.

​
Why some objects are Standard

Standard objects power core Qwoty behavior: pricing, taxation, approvals. Their schemas are locked so every workspace handles them the same way and integrations stay predictable. When you need extra data on a Standard object, put it on a related Manageable object instead. For example, a Bundle is Standard, but the Products in that bundle are Manageable: add the custom field on Products.
