Objects are the main building blocks in a project and are used to create the basis for the project hierarchy and workflow schema. Task
and Milestone
are built-in objects that cannot be changed or removed. All other default objects can be modified, or unique objects can be created to suit the projects your company is working on.
Below are some examples of different types of projects and the objects that could be used to build their schema.

To manage Objects, go to System settings > Workflow > Objects

When you create or edit an object, you can set the following:

-
Icon - The icon that will be used for the object throughout ftrack.
-
Priority - Whether the object can have a priority.
-
Type - Whether the object can have a type.
-
Status - Whether the object can have a status.

Once your project's objects have been decided upon, they need to be added to the workflow schema used by that project.
