Add combinations of items to this summary folder by clicking "Add Combination" and checking desired items

You must choose the summary combinations that are to be pre-built and managed by the End User Layer. Each summary combination should reflect the type of analysis the user will want. The Summary Wizard displays one column for each possible summary combination of axis items and summary folders.

Items

This column displays the axis items selected for this summary folder.

Combinations

In each column, select the check box for each axis item in a summary combination to create a summary folder that reflects your requirements. Discoverer will build the results data for the summary folder when you finish using the wizard. The results data is available when a Discoverer end user runs a worksheet where the query matches a summary combination from this summary folder.

Add Combination

Use this button to add a new summary combination column.

Remove Combination

Use this button to delete the selected summary combination column.

Estimate Space

Use this button to display an estimate of the database space required to store the summary combinations you have created.

Properties

Use this button to view and edit database storage properties for the selected summary combination. For more information, see "Database Storage Properties dialog".

Status

This field displays the status and any database error message for a selected summary combination. If the summary folder for this combination was not built, Discoverer displays the server error message here. For more information about Status field values, see the "Summary Properties dialog" Notes section.
