Summary List

Overview of the Summary layout

This layout is for displaying data from Airtable in a specific format that's suitable for summaries, key stats, and similar. So, let's go through the block settings and see how it works.

Summary Card

This is where you customize the layout of the summary card and map the fields from Airtable. So, let's see how this works on a practical example. Let's say you have an Airtable table with quarterly revenue data for a number of companies, and you want to summarize the annual revenue of each company on your Softr app. Below you can see our table, where we have added a Sum formula field that calculates the annual revenue based on data from each quarter. We also have the names of the companies and a Color field, which we are going to use to apply different colors to each summary card.

Revenue data on Airtable

For the Color field, you can use any text field type (e.g. Single Select or Single line text). The values need to be specified either as text (e.g. "Red") or as the HEX equivalent of the preferred color (e.g. "#FF00000"). If you don't connect a Color field, the cards will be assigned random colors.

Finally, let's connect the table to our Summary block and set it up.
