Auto-summary - examples

Using variables in auto-summary fields can be a useful way to dynamically insert content into a summary. For example, you might use a variable to insert the start or end date or the title of the document being summarized.

To use variables in an auto-summary field, you will need to use a special syntax that includes the variable name enclosed in curly braces. For example, to insert the start date, you might use the following syntax: ${startDate}.
