Uses

Web site adminstrators may use the Formatter Suite module, and its submodules, along with the core Field UI and View UI modules, to configure the way in which field data is presented.

Collectively, the Formatter Suite modules offer a rich set of features that go beyond core formatters to provide detailed control over number notation styles, email address links, dates and times, images, files, and more. Special formatters add graphic indicators, large text collapse & expand, and more.

Formatter Suite module may also be configured for use with the FolderShare module which supports file sharing on Drupal natively.
