1. Click the object for the kind of record you want to create. For example, click Accounts if you want to create an account record.
2. Click **New**.
3. Select a record type if you’re prompted.
4. Enter values in the fields.

    Tip Salesforce Help includes field definitions for most objects. Search the help for the object name + “fields”. For example, if you’re creating or editing an account record, look up “Account Fields” in Salesforce Help.
5. Save your changes, when you finish entering values for your new record. If you navigate away from the page before clicking **Save**, you lose your changes.
