Show page summaries

00:10

On a list page, fields can display summary information at the top of each column.

00:16

To see a field summary in list view, right-click on a column's

00:20

header and select summary.

00:22

You can also go to more show page summaries

00:27

from the tasks page of the demo animation with cuts project.

00:31

If I go to more show page summaries,

00:35

I can see that there are 35 tasks

00:38

and that 0% of these tasks are complete.

00:42

The task name field is providing a summary of the number of tasks.

00:46

The status field is providing a percentage of

00:49

the number of completed tasks versus incomplete tasks.

00:55

Let's take a look at summaries from another entity page.

01:01

From the contracts page, go to more show page summaries.

01:09

Here, you can see that there are 162 contracts.

01:14

You can use summaries to show the

01:17

earliest contract start dates and latest contract

01:20

end dates.

01:21

All you need to do is right-click over the

01:24

headers of both the start date and end date fields.

01:27

Go to summary

01:29

and choose what kind of summary you want to display.

01:33

In this case, let's choose the earliest and latest.

01:38

Now you can easily see there are contracts from June 28th to February 16th

01:45

and can find the answers quickly if someone needs to

01:48

know when a team is starting or ending their contracts.

01:52

Using field summaries is an easy way to display

01:55

summary information to provide you with a big picture.
