The Summary Designer window lets you modify how an item's data displays in the [[Summary Window]]. When you edit an existing summary, the Summary Designer window presents you with a graphical representation of the selected summary; all of the elements are in exactly the same positions. The [[Media:ViewDesignerAndVictimView.png | figure]] to the left shows an example.
There are two panes in the Summary Designer window. The pane on the left displays a data tree of elements available for the selected item. You can drag elements to and from the data tree to populate your summary. On the right is the design pane, where you can add, remove, and modify elements. Above the design pane is a series of tabs that let you switch between pages. The pane on the left displays a data tree of elements available for the selected item. You can drag elements to and from the data tree to populate your summary.
When you have finished customising the summarytemplate, you can either save it with a new name or overwrite an existing summary. Whatever file you save is placed in In both cases the new version will get the Summary Manager window with a [[Publish and Archive Views#View Status | status]] of ''draft''. You still have and you need to [[Publish and Archive Views#Publishing a View | publish]] it before it is visible to IMSMA the users.
The following sections describe how to complete common tasks in the Summary Designer window. For a complete list of the available functions, refer to [[Customise Views#View Designer User Interface Buttons | Summary Designer User Interface Buttons]].
