Also have special category Custom Menus or Menu only objects

Deploy using Object Designer Design Deploy Customize Integrate Deploy Makes your custom object live in the system Allows for immediate or scheduled deployment Could take 1 to 15 min to perform deploy Rollback Rollback un-deployed changes Export / Import Export selected Custom Object designs to a file for import into other sites E.g design on dev system and export/import to a production system

Frequent customizations in Oracle Service Cloud Product Registration Warranty Entitlement Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Product Notices (recalls, patches, updates) Asset Tracking Service Dispatch ITIL Processes Etc etc

Design Deploy Customize Integrate Customize Agent Desktop using array of Designers Workspaces Deployed objects are immediately available in workspace editor Application Menu Custom Objects can be added as a New item on the Application Menu like any other built-in Object Workflow Custom Objects can be referenced and created within Workflow Analytics Create reports for Custom Objects in the same way as Standard Objects Oracle Confidential Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 15

Integrate Custom Objects using Connect APIs Design Deploy Customize Integrate Connect PHP Server side API CPM or Customer Portal or Custom scripts Custom Objects are available as typed PHP objects E.g. $a_new_rma = New rightnow\connect\v1_3\co\rma; Connect Web Services for SOAP Client Server API B2B data integrations Use Generic Object interface to integrate using custom objects E.g. <q1:objecttype> <q1:namespace>co</q1:namespace> <q1:typename>rma</q1:typename> </q1:objecttype> Connect REST API Client Server API Web development Custom Objects are available as typed named REST resources E.g. https://mysiteinterface/rest/ connect/v1.3/co.rma Oracle Confidential Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 16
