Everything added to the vault is an object. So each file that you add is an object, but so is a Project, a Contact, Company or a Task. Clearly a task is very different to a file and will have different properties too, so objects are defined by ‘classes’ and these can include details on what information is stored about them, who can approve them, what the approval process entails, etc. Don’t worry is this is not clear as you will pick up the concepts through using the software.
