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.
