Syntax

isSummary() : boolean

setSummary(flag:boolean) : void

Legal value Description
true if the item contains summary data
false if the item contains non-summary data

Usage

Items are flagged as containing summary or non-summary data. Summary data can appear in views and folders; non-summary data cannot. In general, items created through the UI are tagged as non-summary if they contain rich text or are very long.

When you create a new item using appendItemValue or replaceItemValue in NotesDocument, the IsSummary property for the item is true. If you don't want the item to appear in views and folders, you must change its this property to false.

You can enable or disable the appearance of an existing item in views and folders by changing this property.

An item whose IsSummary property is true may not appear as expected in views and folders if the data is not suitable. For example, a rich text item whose IsSummary property is true generally appears as a question mark.
