The Summarization Options tab contains all the options for summarizing collections of tasks in the Master Project or from Subprojects. Summarization is a different way to handle data in a multi-project structure that does not require the user to have Handoffs identified, marked, and flagged. Rather it will summarize the period of performance of tasks that have been marked with a common value and can post those dates into the Master Project or Subproject files.
