[Group Summary] What is Group Summary and how to use it?

With Capture v1.42.9 and Designer & Manager v41.31, we bring you a new feature on the Designer that will help you to see a summary of a group based on the selected fields and their values from within the group.

This article will explore how to set up Group Summary and its features in Designer and how this can be used in Capture and viewed in Manager. Please note that you will need access to Work Templates and the Designer to set up this feature

2. Navigate to Group Summary
3. Select the fields that needed to be in the summary
4. Click on + to add the field(s) to the list.
5. Drag to re-order the fields where needed
6. Save and Publish the Work Template as normal.

2. Using the Group Summary in Capture

Once a Work Template has been configured using the Group Summary and you have created a Work Order from this template, on Capture, you will see the list of the selected field on the Group card without going into the Group.

On capturing values into the selected Field, those values will be displayed on the Group card.
