Create records in objects

5min
Create records in Salesforce objects straight from your mobile device. If you at a customer and want to create a new account with the customer or capture a new opportunity while having coffee with a prospect, you can design a form and use the Salesforce provider's create method. 
You can use the object reference for Salesforce, ﻿https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php, or the Salesforce schema builder to check the objects, required fields, and relationships. The minimum needed to create a record is based on the required fields.
