The Summary Definition Editor’s Summary Definition tab allows you to define the table that appears in the Tailored Summary view.

Table 1. Summary Definition Editor - Summary Definition Tab
Button/Field	Description
Label	Defines the label to display in the first column (that is, the row header column) in a Tailored Summary. The label is limited to a maximum of 50 characters. This field also can be left blank.
Add/Plus	Allows you to add a column at the end of the column configuration table. Note: You can define up to a maximum of seven columns. This button is disabled if seven columns already exist.
Remove/Minus	Allows you to remove the currently selected column from the column configuration table. Note: To select a column, click the column heading. You must define a minimum of at least one column.
Column Configuration Table	Lets you configure the columns that appear in the Tailored Summary: Column Heading - Defines the name of the column heading. The name can have a maximum of 50 characters. Child Item - Indicates the item for which the column data is retrieved based on its item name attribute. You can use the Select Item dialog box to pick a name, or type in the text box. The name must match a user-specified pattern (such as ZN-* or ZN-T, Zone-T). You can define an unlimited number of wildcards. Use the asterisk () wildcard for partial name matching (for example, ZN-T finds items named ZN-T and ZN-Temp). Use a comma (,) to separate the wildcard search criteria (for example, ZN-T, Zone-T finds items named ZN-T or items named Zone-T). Use the Backslash (\) wildcard to indicate a character does not have a special meaning (for example, ZN\T, ZN\, T, ZN\\T finds items named ZNT, ZN, T, and ZN\T). The first item found that matches this item name pattern appears in the Tailored Summary view column. To display an attribute of the row item, leave this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the child item to display. Attribute - Defines the attribute information for the column. To display the default attribute, no change is required (that is, leave the Attribute box set to Default). The attributes are grouped into categories for easy selection. To specify an attribute, select a category in the Attribute Filter section of the Select Column Attribute dialog box, and then select the desired attribute from the list. Notes: To change the order of the columns, select a column and drag it to the desired placement. When you display a Tailored Summary (see Viewing a Tailored Summary), the system searches for data within all levels of a field device (VMA, for example). For all other objects (NAE, for example), the system searches for data only one level down (not subsequent levels).
Browse (Child Item)	Opens the Select Item dialog box where you can specify the item name. Note: This dialog box provides an easy way to fill in the item name of a child item. It does not mean that the selected item displays in that column.
Browse (Attribute)	Opens the Select Column Attribute dialog box where you can select the attribute to display in the column of the table. This process is necessary only when selecting an attribute other than the default attribute. This dialog box has two list boxes to aid in selection: Attribute Filter - Allows you to filter the items appearing in the Attribute list using common attribute categories. If you filter on Alarms, for example, the supported alarm attributes appear in the list for selection. Attribute - Lists the available attributes for selection. Note: To display the default attribute of the row item, leave the Attribute box set to Default (Attribute Filter: Common Attributes and Attribute: Default). For an example of the attributes available for display in the Tailored Summary feature, see the Tailored Summary Attributes section.
