How to track and sum numerical data

Custom fields are helpful for tracking pieces of information particular to your jobs or projects. You can set up a custom text field, number field, or choice field. 

With a custom number field, there's a special ability: You can see the sum of the custom number field in Table view. It's automatically calculated and visible in the bottom row. 

Using this function makes it easy to do things like:

• Track the weight of materials used for a given date range.
• Track word count for each week or month.
• Track the value of invoices for a particular client.

Here's how to set it up

1. Create a custom number field for the data you want to track. Only the number type of custom field will provide automatic sums.
2. Input the value in the number field for each calendar entry.
3. Go to Table view to see the automatic sum. 
   
   • Adjust the date range to see the number field summed up for a week, month, etc.
   • Toggle sub-calendars and use filters to see the number field summed up only for events that meet certain criteria (e.g. only events on Project XYZ sub-calendar, or only events tagged as Client ABC jobs).
