Differences Between Standard Object and Custom Object
1. Standard Object
In the CRM system, objects serve as the core data containers, with nearly all business logic revolving around them.
To accommodate common business scenarios, the system provides Standard Objects that users can directly utilize, such as [Account Information], [Opportunity], [Order], [Contract], and [Payment Collection]. These standard objects come with predefined fields and attributes based on generic business logic, along with specialized functionalities tailored to specific object types.

4.1 How to Rename a Standard Object?
The object name cannot be modified directly in the editing interface. Instead, navigate to the [Object Label Settings] menu and update the corresponding language value.
Example: To rename “Price List” to “Product Price List,” modify the Chinese label value to “Product Price List.” The change will reflect in the Chinese environment.
