# Objects

## Overview

<code class="expression">space.vars.objects</code> are a foundational platform data type in <code class="expression">space.vars.Kizen\_company\_name</code> used to model, organize, and store business information, much like a container.

Each <code class="expression">space.vars.object</code> defines the structure for a type of data, including its fields, relationships, and behavior. Records created from <code class="expression">space.vars.objects</code> represent individual real-world entities such as customers, locations, deals, or assets.

Once <code class="expression">space.vars.objects</code> are created, you can:

* Add custom fields to capture structured information
* Define relationships to other <code class="expression">space.vars.objects</code>
* Create Forms, Surveys, or <code class="expression">space.vars.activities</code> to collect your <code class="expression">space.vars.object</code> data.
* Trigger automations
* Read and write data through APIs
