You can also create accounts from the Account lookup field results list on the Quick Create form on contacts, leads, and opportunities. Validation rules don’t apply when you create records with Quick Create.

1. Click the tab for the kind of record you want to create. To create an account while you create a contact, lead, or opportunity, click the ![lookup field icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/basics/images/lookup.png) icon next to the Account field in the Quick Create form you’re using.
2. Enter values in the fields. Fields with a red bar (![Required](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/basics/images/basics_required_field_red_bar.png)) are required fields.
    
    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.
