Formats Gallery

From Fmepedia

The Formats Gallery is the Workbench dialog that displays the formats available within FME.

A format that is greyed out is unavailable - either it is not licensed by your FME license, or it requires the installation of a related application (eg ArcGIS for GeoDatabase format).

The dialog includes...
