Standard Object

Object delivered by Salesforce out of the box, such as Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity and Case.

Definition

Standard objects come with predefined fields, relationships and behaviors like lead conversion or case escalation. They can be extended with custom fields, record types and page layouts but cannot be deleted. Their API names have no __c suffix.

Exam tip

Prefer standard objects when they fit the business need rather than recreating them as custom objects.
