Try It Out: Add the URL Field to the Employment Website Object

Obviously, the Employment Website object needs to store the Web address of the employment website. We'll use the URL data type for this field. That way, when users click the field, the URL will open in a separate browser window. In addition to the URL, since most employment websites charge per posting, we'll want to keep track of how much it costs to post there, as well as our maximum budget for posting on the site.

From Setup, click Create | Objects, and then click Employment Website to view its detail page. In the Custom Fields & Relationships related list, use the New button to create three custom fields according to the following table. Where necessary, we've indicated some additional values you'll need to fill in when creating the fields. Otherwise you can simply accept all defaults.
