Table

When adding columns to a report only columns from applicable tables are allowed.  For example, if the table includes a column from the Applications table then it cannot also include columns from Hot Fixes.

Summary

Each column can be displayed as a summary which results in a single value that summarizes the data relative to the other non-summary columns in the report.  Not all summaries are available for all data types.
