As with custom objects, external objects must be assigned to tabs that users can access, and object permissions must be granted via profiles or permission sets. When you search for an external object, click **More** in the Recent section to view the search results.

When external objects are used with Salesforce for iOS and Salesforce mobile web on iOS devices, you must select **Enable Search** in the associated external data sources. Only then external objects appear in these apps. This requirement doesn’t apply to custom adapters for Salesforce Connect.

For example, perhaps you have data that’s stored on premises in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Instead of copying the data into your org, you can use external objects to access the data in real time via web service callouts.")
