Introduction to Rollup Fields
Rollup Fields enable you to aggregate and summarize list data inside Nexl Workspaces. They give a quick “overview” metric from granular list-level data, like counting RSVPs marked “Yes” or summing specific numeric fields. This is a powerful feature that extends the capabilities of Nexl Workspaces by letting users surface the most important information from inside lists in easy to view reporting on Pages, helping to communicate key insights to the right stakeholders.
Key Capabilities:

We are supporting the following operators to roll up information by: Count, Sum, Max, Min, Average
UI Controls:

Note: A rollup field’s condition after creation cannot be edited right now — delete the rollup field and recreate if needed.
