The report summary, is a pivot table representation of significant statistics in a report.
Groupings define the attributes you want to group the report summary by.
Calculations define the aggregated statistics displayed for the attributes.
Gorilla 5 dynamically generates a report summary with default calculations for all fields that can be aggregated in the report.
At minimum, the count of all items in the subject area is displayed. You can customize these calculations and group the summary data at one or more levels to improve the usefulness of your report summary.
Available calculations vary based on data type.
- For example, for all deals or all clients, the only available operator is count.
- For expected revenue, you can select between sum, average, maximum, and minimum.
You can use groupings either as rows or columns in your pivot table. If you use them as rows, calculations are the columns, and if you use them as columns, calculations are the rows.
If you add multiple groupings, you can expand the first grouping in the report summary to view additional groupings.
At any time, you can:
- Remove a grouping or calculation by clicking the Clear button
on the grouping or calculation.
- Reorder the groupings through drag-and-drop to the desired location.
- Sort the report summary by clicking the column or row header containing the name of the calculation.
As you update your groupings and calculations, the preview in the Summary tab refreshes to reflect your changes.
To add groupings and calculations to your report summary:
- In the report settings pane on the left side of the Report Builder, select the Summary tab.
