Summary

Auto-Summary

Auto-summary refers to the text that will be shown on the command in the Behaviors canvas. By default, this check box is selected.

 

For commands that use a condition or calculation, Auto-Summary will display the formula selected in the Condition Properties. If no condition exists, nothing will be displayed.

 

If you wish to have other summary text display, clear the Auto-summary check box and type the custom text in the list box below. Your text will be retained if you later decide to enable Auto-summary.

 

 

[Summary text]

This is where manual summary text can be entered when the Auto-summary option is not turned on.
