# Output Types Reference

types define what property is set on a target module field when a component executes. They are listed in the **Type** column of the Outputs table in the [Initializer](/unqorkai/docs/initializer-component) and [Decisions](/unqorkai/docs/decisions-component) components. They are also available in the **Action** setting of the Data Workflow [Output and Set Outputs operators](/unqorkai/docs/data-workflow-operator-reference). The [Calculator component](/unqorkai/docs/calculator-component) does not use output types. Its Outputs table is formula-based, with Source and Formula columns.
