About Custom Object Listing

Note

The availability of this feature depends on your supplier.

Overview

Your supplier may want to share information with you, or ask you to provide information, that is not usually available as standard in ZiftONE. For example, they might ask you to complete a Partner Q&A. ZiftONE provides a portal page to exchange custom information in this way - the page is named Custom Object Listing as a default, but it could be named anything - it will probably named after the type of information being made available there.

For example, here a supplier has set up a page to give partners the opportunity to submit customer case studies, and view ones that have already been provided.

Note

The name of the page might be different in your partner portal - your supplier decides what it is called. The examples in this topic assumes that the Custom Object Listing page is named Case Study.

The purpose of the Custom Object Listing page is for you to submit information of the requested type to your supplier, for example case studies, requests for demo unit, warranty registrations, and so on. Your supplier decides what type of information they want from you.

When you send a piece of information of the requested type, it is called a submission. 

Each submission has a link that can be shared - this supports a collaborative view, review and edit of these pieces of information.
