Using Aggregators
For Custom Number Fields, an additional feature is available: Aggregators. By setting these, we allow you to combine a range of custom number fields and represent that combined value in different places on the plan.
For example, say you had a custom field called "One Time Costs" which is a $ value available on every action item in your plan. Once set, you can edit any action item and see this custom field as an element.
Once a cost is saved, it will display with the Action Item.
If you would like to see the total combined value of all the One Time Costs on every action item for a given Goal, this can be achieved by setting "Goal" as an aggregator on the One Time Costs custom field.
