About Formats

Use formats to enforce how field data is displayed. For example, use a format to control how phone numbers appear.

Examples:

• Phone numbers:
  • US: (###) ###-####
  • International: +## (###) ####-####
  • Enforce an extension: (###) ###-#### x####
• IPv formats: IPv4 (numeric character) or IPv6 (any character) format.

CSM provides a variety of OOTB stored formats to help get you started. Use these as-is, edit them, or create new formats using the Stored Format Manager. Custom formats (not intended for reuse on other fields) can also be created for use on a specific field.
