SummaryFunctionType (Smart GWT LGPL Edition API 12.1p (2026-02-25))

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<SummaryFunctionType>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.SummaryFunctionType

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<SummaryFunctionType>
```
public enum SummaryFunctionType
extends java.lang.Enum<SummaryFunctionType>
implements ValueEnum
```
This is used for client-side or server-side summaries
- Client-side: Function to produce a summary value based on an array of records and a field definition. An example usage is the listGrid summary row, where a row is shown at the bottom of the listGrid containing summary information about each column.
- Server-side: Function used for getting summarized field value using Server Summaries feature or when Including values from multiple records
For the client-side SummaryFunctions may be specified in one of 2 ways:
- as an explicit function or executable StringMethod, which will be passed records (an array of records) and field (the field definition for which the summary is required).
- as a standard SummaryFunction identifier
For valid ways to configure SummaryFunctions to use server-side feature see the Server Summaries overview.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`AVG` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and determining the mean value.
`CONCAT` Client: iterates through the set of records, producing a string with each value concatenated to the end. Server: implemented as SQL CONCAT function.
`COUNT` Client: returns a numeric count of the total number of records passed in. Server: acts exactly like SQL COUNT function.
`FIRST` Client: Currently the same as the min function. Server: implemented as SQL MIN function.
`MAX` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the maximum value.
`MIN` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the minimum value.
`MULTIPLIER` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and multiplying them together.
`SUM` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up and summing all numeric values for the specified field.
`TITLE` Client: returns `field.summaryValueTitle` if specified, otherwise `field.title` Server: not supported.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - SUM
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType SUM
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up and summing all numeric values for the specified field. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
    Server: acts exactly like SQL SUM function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "sum".
  - AVG
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType AVG
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and determining the mean value. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
    Server: acts exactly like SQL AVG function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "avg".
  - MAX
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType MAX
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the maximum value. Handles numeric fields and date/time/datetime type fields only. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric/date field values are encountered.
    Server: acts exactly like SQL MAX function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "max".
  - MIN
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType MIN
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the minimum value. Handles numeric fields and date/time/datetime type fields only. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
    Server: acts exactly like SQL MIN function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "min".
  - MULTIPLIER
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType MULTIPLIER
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and multiplying them together. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
    Server: not supported.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "multiplier".
  - COUNT
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType COUNT
```
    Client: returns a numeric count of the total number of records passed in.
    Server: acts exactly like SQL COUNT function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "count".
  - TITLE
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType TITLE
```
    Client: returns field.summaryValueTitle if specified, otherwise field.title
    Server: not supported.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "title".
  - FIRST
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType FIRST
```
    Client: Currently the same as the min function.
    Server: implemented as SQL MIN function.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "first".
  - CONCAT
```
public static final SummaryFunctionType CONCAT
```
    Client: iterates through the set of records, producing a string with each value concatenated to the end.
    Server: implemented as SQL CONCAT function. Supported only by SQLDataSource. Note that it is natively supported only by Oracle DB driver, other drivers perform additional query to fetch values for concatenation. See also joinPrefix, joinString and joinSuffix related datasource field attributes.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "concat".
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static SummaryFunctionType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (SummaryFunctionType c : SummaryFunctionType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static SummaryFunctionType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
