# Data Formats and Usage Data Formats

With **Data formats** you can create your own type for **Decimal** (Number formats), **Data**, **Integer**, **DateTime,** and **Time**. This can be controlled per language and report. To add **Data formats**, follow these steps:

1. Use the search icon to search for “Data formats”.

1. Click the **Suggest**. This will create six records for you, which is our suggestion, so if it does not meet your requirements, create your own records.

If you prefer a different format or want to change the default format, consult the [Administrator User Guide](/v1/docs/usage-data-formats).

If you do not need a printer, the installation and configuration are finished.
