Data Model - Twenty — ContextQMD

import { VimeoEmbed } from '/snippets/vimeo-embed.mdx';

Everything in Twenty is built around objects and fields — the building blocks of your data model.

Objects

Objects are the tables that hold your data. Twenty comes with standard objects out of the box:

Companies — Organizations you do business with
People — Individual contacts
Opportunities — Deals in your pipeline
Tasks — Action items for your team
Notes — Free-form text linked to records

You can also create custom objects for anything your business needs — projects, support tickets, products, contracts, or anything else.

Fields

Fields are the properties on each object. Twenty supports a wide range of field types:

Category	Types
Basic	Text, Number, Boolean, Date, Currency, Rating, Select
Composite	Address (street, city, state, zip), Full Name, Links, Phones, Emails
Special	Relation, File Attachment, JSON, Actor (who created/modified)

Every object also gets automatic system fields: id, createdAt, updatedAt, createdBy, and position.

Relations

Objects connect to each other through relations. A Company has many People, an Opportunity belongs to a Company, and so on. You can create custom relations between any objects, including many-to-many relationships.

What makes this powerful

Unlike traditional CRMs where you're limited to pre-defined fields on pre-defined objects, Twenty lets you model your data exactly the way your business works. Custom objects get the same first-class treatment as built-in ones — including API endpoints, views, permissions, and workflow triggers.
