# Add formatters in Table Builder

You can add form elements that display non-field information to users by adding a formatter in Table Builder. For example, you may want to display a **Comments** field where users can add comments to a displayed form.

## Before you begin

**Note:** Formatters are only supported in Core UI and earlier.

-   Launch Table Builder. For more information, see [Accessing Table Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/form-builder-glide-family-release/accessing-form-builder.md).
-   \(Optional\) Choose a domain to work within \(if not global\). For more information, see [Domain separation and Table Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/form-builder-glide-family-release/form-builder-domain-separation.md).
-   \(Optional\) Choose an application scope to work within \(if not global\). For more information, see [Using an application scope with Table Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/form-builder-glide-family-release/fb-application-scope.md).

**Note:** To understand how to approach customizing your forms, review [Table Builder workflow and navigation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/form-builder-glide-family-release/form-builder-workflow.md).

Role required: personalize\_form or AES user role and delegated developer permissions. For more information, see [Delegate developers using AES](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/app-engine-studio/aes-app-dev-workflow.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the **Forms** tab in Table Builder.

2.  Choose a view to work with.

    For detailed information on how to choose a view for a form, see [Choose a form view in Table Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/form-builder-glide-family-release/manage-form-views.md).

3.  To display a list of the available components that you can add to your form view, in the Add form elements panel, select **Formatters**.

    **Note:** You can also launch the Add form elements panel by clicking the Add \(\[Omitted image "fb-add-icon.png"\] Alt text: Add icon.\) icon above an existing element in the form editor.

4.  Select a formatter, and then drag it to the location in the form editor where you'd like to place it.

    **Note:** Formatters in forms are only supported in Core UI and earlier interfaces.

    For information on how you can add a formatter to a form, see [Formatters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/c_Formatters.md).
