Component Formatters

[abhijats]

Hi,

I need to understand the working of Component type of Formatters.
What I know it is used for variable Editor but How?
Somewhere in the forum I find this information, Can anybody please explain..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to System UI > Formatters

Open the "Incident Variable Editor" UI Formatter

Change the table for the new one, and change the name (will be the variable name)

Insert and Stay the record

Now you can add the variable editor in your new table (form layout)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have done the same but nothing happened!!

Hi Matt,

Yes I have done this exercise and successfully created a formatter of type formatter and result is also desirable.
Only I have a query related to formatter of type Component, I want to use this type of formatter and understand its functionality.
The given exercise I find on forum suggests to copy an existing formatter of type component, then replace the table name with newly created table.
According to this exercise, new variable editor can be added to the Table. But it is not happening, Any suggestion!

Because of the type of item you are referencing, I don't think this is possible.
