HI @bhaskarjadu 

A formatter is a form element used to display information that is not a field in the record. Add formatters to a form by configuring the form.

Hi @bhaskarjadu 

 

A formatter in ServiceNow is a UI component that enhances the display of records in a form by formatting or structuring data in a user-friendly way. Formatters do not store data but visually represent it for better usability.
