Hi Peter, Formatter is something which is used on form displaying something that is not a field. Ex- if you have seen cmdb baseline or ci relationship these are not a field , but this is displayed on form with the help of formatters. There can be a ui macro created for Formatter and with the help formatters that can be display on a form. Hope this will help you!
