==Creating a Number Format Template==
A number format template takes a raw number value and changes it into usable and contextual metrics. One would typically use this when formatting from Amps to kW or a whole number to a dollar amount or percentage, but it is not limited to that. You will need to gather the following information to create a number format template:
*Name of the number format template you wish to create
*Specified type of number format template; either simple, currency, or java decimal pattern
