What is the functionality of defining a summary in a KPI search's results tab?

Defining a summary in a KPI search's results tab primarily determines how the data will be displayed. When setting up a KPI search, users can specify summary types, such as average, count, minimum, maximum, and sum, which allows for meaningful aggregation of data based on the selected fields. This summarization is crucial for interpreting the results quickly and effectively, enabling users to grasp insights and trends within the data at a glance. Thus, the way the information is summarized influences the overall presentation and interpretation, making the summary definition a vital aspect of KPI searches.

Other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of the summary definition. For example, ensuring all fields are included does not focus on how the data will be summarized or presented but rather on inclusion criteria. Enabling dynamic field selection relates to how specific fields can be chosen for analysis but is different from defining summary types. The identification of how many filters can be applied pertains to filtering capabilities rather than the summarization of data in the results.
