How can historical amounts be summarized?

When you use a detail topic in an HR Writer report, frequently a lot of history is examined for the specified information. Rather than seeing each detail from the history, you can have the amounts summarized. Summarization of historical records is only functional when a report is generated with HR170; it is not functional with the HR70.1 inquiry.

Example

The Payroll Manager wants to create an HR Writer report that includes United Way deduction amounts for all employees for the last six months. Rather than generating a report that lists each employee's individual deduction for each payroll in that period, he can design the report to include only the summarized totals of each employee's historical records.
