Each entity in the system will have an Object type code. For simplicity of understanding, think of it as a numbering system for all the entities, regardless if they are out of the box or custom. As a CRM Expert, you might encounter a situation where you will need to identify the Object Type code for an entity.

To identify the Entity name using the Object Type Code, follow these steps:

1. Enter your CRM instance.

2. Open any entity under any model, such as Accounts, Contacts, Cases, etc.
