The Summary Designer window lets you modify how an item's data displays in the [[Summary Window]]. The 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, removedelete, and modify elements. Above the design pane is a series of tabs that let you switch between pages.
When you have finished customising the summary template, you can either save it with a new name or overwrite an existing summary. In both cases the new version will get the status '''draft''' and you need to [[Publish and Archive Summary Templates#Publishing a Summary template | publish]] it before it is visible to the users.
==Customising a Summary template==__NOEDITSECTION__
#From In the [[IMSMA Navigation Window]], click '''Customisation > ''' menu &rarr; '''Summary Manager'''.
#Select an item from the '''Object''' menu to display its complete list of Summary Templates.
#Select one of the item's existing summaries Summary Templates from the list.
#Click the [[File:FieldViewIcon.png|20px]] button to open the [[Summary Templates | Summary Designer]] window.
===Adding Data Elements===__NOEDITSECTION__
----''Data Elements'' are the relevant information (gathered during [[Entering Data into IMSMANG#Entering Data into the Data Entry Form Template| data entry]]) that display on an item's summary. You can move existing data elements around in the design pane, and resize, relabel, or delete them. You can also add elements by dragging them from the data tree to the design pane. With certain exceptions, only one instance of the same data element can be added to each tab.
# Click the tab on which you want to add the data element.
# If you are editing a table, refer to [[Customise Tables]].

'' Link table''
</div>
{{Note | In the Summary template designer it is the calculated subobject Links that should be used for the ''Links'' table. It does '''not''' make sense to use ''Linked IDs'' in Summary templates.}}
===Adding Graphic Elements===__NOEDITSECTION__
----
''Graphic Elements'' make up the visual layout of an item's summary, and are unaffected by data entry. They are the lines that border or separate sections, text boxes where messages can be written, and images (like photographs, maps, and diagrams) that add to the visual aesthetic. All graphic elements are located in the Summary Designer data tree, inside the '''Tool Folder'''.
===Saving a Summary template===__NOEDITSECTION__
----When you have finished customising your summarySummary Template and saved it, do one of the following:* Click '''Save As''' to save the custom summary as a separate entry in the Summary Manager Window.* Click '''Save''' to overwrite the existing custom summary. Remember remember to [[Publish and Archive Summary Templates#Publishing a Summary template| publish]] the summary Summary Template if you want to activate it in IMSMA. Note that you can save separate summaries Summary Templates with the same name in the Summary Manager.
===Summary Designer User Interface Buttons===__NOEDITSECTION__
----The following table lists all of the GUI buttons avaiable available in the Summary Designer window and their purposes:
