typeinfo

JWT ships with three custom field types to calculate field values, display live data, or even pull data from online service providers such as Google. 

Each custom field type, from number to text, or date-time fields, comes with a different set of options that let you define exactly what you want to see as a result using the full power of the JWT expression editor.

Last but not least, you can individually define how the result of the calculation should appear, from different time formats to currency symbols, by configuring individual Display formats.
