Field display formats and formatters

All field display formats (FDFs) must have a formatter specified; otherwise data is displayed as text. This chapter describes the options that are available for each formatter through the FDF Editor. Examples are provided to show how some data fields are displayed in a web browser, with and without formatting.

Use the FDF Editor to specify formatting options, as described in Working with field display formats.
