What are Summary rows
Summary rows allow you to show a summary of the data in your table columns using a number of summarization/aggregation functions, depending on the column type. Summary rows are part of a view config, and you will need to save the view to persist the summary row setting.
Summary rows are great for use cases like:
- Count up the number of rows assigned for each "Assignee", so you can balance the workload.
- Count the % of rows that have "Review notes" filled in, so you know which items still need review.
- Show the latest date in a "Target Date" column, so you know the latest date for all tasks to be completed.
- Count up the number of tasks by status while grouped by project, so you know the progress of the work per project.

How to enable Summary rows
You can enable summary rows via the View Config dialog, which can be accessed from several places:
- "Config" toolbar button
- Group header context menu (via right-click or the 3-dot icon)
Once in the View Config dialog, you can check the boxes under Summary Rows to enable the row and also select which summary function to use.
You can disable the summary row by unchecking all the summary row boxes.
Interacting with summary rows
Depending on the type of summary, you can hover and select the summary cells to see additional context and details.
For Count, Avg, Min, Max, Sum, you can hover over or select the cell to see the label for the type of summary.
For Count by Value, you can select the cell to see a breakdown of unique values, sorted by how frequently they occur.
You can also click directly into the summary row cell to select a new function for summarization.
