For many search result columns that display numeric information (that is, a column that shows something like the actual hours), the System automatically calculates the totals of all values in these columns and displays these at the bottom of the console (for example, the total of actual hours for the rows listed).
If you group search results, the System automatically calculates and displays group subtotals from these totals. Each group’s subtotals appear, regardless of whether the group’s list of details is open or closed. If the list is open the group subtotal appears at the bottom of the list. The grand total for all groups continues to appear at the bottom of the console.
The following consoles include column totals:
Project Transaction Console
Project Transaction Pending and Billed Console
Project Console
Project Summary Console
Project Budget Console
Project Task Summary Console
