h2. Overview
{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
Summaries create aggregated totals in order to provide the user with higher level data as part of a more detailed report. There are several types of summary that can be included in a table:
# Field Totals 
# Categorical Sub Totals
# Section Totals
# Section Summary Tables
# Grand Totals

Depending on the type of summary you are creating, you will have access to a selection of the following types:
# !rpt_sum.png! *Sum* - this will add all of the values in the field to create the total.
# !rpt_avg.png! *Average* - this will find the mean value of all the values in the field to create the total.
# !rpt_count.png! *Count* - this will count the number of values in the field to create the total.
# !rpt_count_dist.png! *Count Distinct* - this will count the number of unique values in the field to create the total.
# !rpt_calc_total.png! *Calculated Total* - this is only available if the field is a calculation, and uses the calculation to create the total.

h3. Total Aggregation
There are two methods for adding a total to a field in a standard Column or Row based table:

h4. {expand:title=Field Drop Down}
# Click on the field's drop down menu, in either of these locations:
## Through the Columns/Rows list
!01applyField.png!
## Through the Table Preview
!01applyTable.png!
# Select the Total option from the list and click on the aggregation you wish to use for the summary.
!02selectTotal.png|thumbnail,border=1!
# You should now have a total on your field.
!03showTotal.png!
{expand}

h4. {expand:title=Column Formatting menu}
# Click on the Column Formatting menu in the main navigation bar of the page 
!01applyMenu.png!
# Select the field you wish to apply a total to in the Report Fields list panel on the left of the menu
# Open the Summary section of the menu to view the available options
# Define the Total Aggregation option. 
!02selectTotalMenu.png|thumbnail,border=1!
You will notice that using the Column Formatting menu rather than the Field Drop Down list means that you have a range of additional options, rather than just the ability to select the aggregation to use. These will be explored below.

# Open the Summary section of the menu to view the available options
# Set *Display Labels* to *On*
!04showLabel.png|thumbnail,border=1!
