No "New" button in the "Triggers" section of a custom object page

Hi, I am new to Force.com, and try the tutorials.

I have created a custom object "Merchandise" by Setup|Create|Objects".

And I go to detail of custom object "Merchandise" page, following the instruction in tutorial

  http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/workbook/Content/apex_1.htm

 

try to create a trigger. But I can not found the "New" button in the "Triggers" section.

 

Anyone knows the reason?

 

I am using a "Force.com, Free" profile.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hareesh,

 

You do not see the new button because this is considered a production org. All development must be done in a developer org or a sandbox.

Yep.  You need to create the trigger from the object on which it will act.

 

So for example go to Setup -> Create -> Objects

Select the object

Go down to the Trigger section.  You should find a New button there.

Are you in a sandbox or a developer org?

Thanks Tim, you are right!

 

I was using a free trial enterprise edition, which does not have the "new" trigger button.

Now I have registered a free development edition, and have found there is the "new" trigger button.

 

But I hope Force.com have more clear document for this issue (At least, I could not found any useful comment in the related page and documents.

 

Tim, Thanks again!
