01 / OBJECTS AND RECORDS
What is a business object?
A business object defines a type of thing your business works with. A Customer object describes customers; a Project object describes jobs. Each object has fields, such as a name, status, date or amount, and relationships to other objects.
A record is one instance of that structure. “North roof” is a project record. Its fields hold the details of that job, and its relationships connect it to the customer it belongs to and other records in your model.
In Cube OS, fields have types and can be required. A date field stores a date, an enum field allows defined choices, and a relationship points to a record in another object. That structure gives people and connected AI tools a consistent way to understand the data.
02 / A CONNECTED MODEL
Follow a job from customer to invoice.
The contractor starter model includes four connected objects. It is a starting point for organizing customer work, rather than a separate system for every stage of a job.
| Object | Represents | Connects to |
|---|---|---|
| Customer | The person or company you work for | Sites and projects |
| Site | A location where work happens | A customer |
| Project | A job and its working details | A customer and invoices |
| Invoice | A billing record for the job | A project |
For example, one customer can have several sites and projects. Connecting records preserves those relationships instead of repeating the same customer details in every project row. The preview lets you start with this model or define your own objects.
03 / CHANGING THE STRUCTURE
A model can evolve deliberately.
Your business changes, and its data structure needs to change with it. Cube OS keeps schema versions with the objects and records. In the workspace, you can prepare a model change, review its preview and publish the new structure.
That makes the model an explicit part of the system. Adding a field or relationship is a structural decision, with a preview before publication, rather than an undocumented convention hidden in a spreadsheet column.
