  2. Adds Table Summaries, which provide statistics on each column value across all samples, such as Count, Maximum, Minimum, Average, and Standard Deviation. The summaries may be color-coded depending on user-defined logic, such as -- highlight in Red if there are more than 6 samples whose average is greater than 3.5 (example)
