Dispaly summary of selected records

Platinum_ar

Is it possible to display a summary of selected records under search query results/grid? I was thinking about the checkbox. After each check/uncheck, the summary gets updated.
I don't see an option to show a "select" checkbox. Does it require a process that accepts multiple records to be defined in the panel operations?

I do that by having a "selected" field in the BO. Then I have a rule called whenever the "selected" is changed to summarize the data and storing it in LoggedInRegularUser and have a VP with the LoggedInRegularUser data fields displayed (and updated) below the BO's query.

Does this make sense?

I was thinking about the same (with inline editing turned on), but I see one complication.
Users can check a few records and leave the page. After getting back, the records will still be selected, won't they?

EDIT
I’ve just realized it’s probably non persistent object. Can I just add whatever I want to it? Like LoggedInRegularUser.MySummary

Can you not just use the "Group" facility in the grid. You can then set extra columns that can be grouped simply by dragging the column to the header of the grid

Why not create a summary report and use the "Applicable to Multiple" option when calling the process to create the report?

I did this with custom JS. None of the abovementioned solutions was satisfactory. Thanks for all your help.
