Try It Out: Create the Job Posting Object

Now it's time to create our Job Posting junction object! From Setup, enter Objects in the Quick Find box, then select Objects, click New Custom Object, and fill out the page according to the following table.

Table 1. Values for Defining the Job Posting Object
Field Value
Label Job Posting
Plural Label Job Postings
Object Name Job_Posting
Description Represents the junction object between a position and an employment website
Context-Sensitive Help Setting Open the standard Salesforce Help & Training window
Record Name Job Posting Name
Data Type Auto Number
Display Format JP-{00000}
Starting Number 00001
Allow Reports Yes
Allow Activities Yes
Track Field History Yes
Deployment Status Deployed
Add Notes & Attachments related list to default page layout Yes
Launch New Custom Tab Wizard after saving this custom object No

That was simple enough, but we're not quite done. We need to create the master-detail relationship fields that relate the Job Posting object with the Position and Employment Website objects.
