Data objects define the logical data layer and hold data for your application. A data object simplifies the organization of the properties, data pages, transforms, and other elements your application needs to get the right data at the right time. Data objects are called data types in Dev Studio.

For example, you could use a Customer data object to manage customer contact information. The data object might include the customer's name, email, phone number, and so on. You can also reference a data object from a case type to add the data object and all of its fields to a view.
