# Moving mode
Moving mode is similar to Period mode, except that each month typically has the previous 11 months added to it, creating a moving, annual total view.
## Moving mode in Summary view
In Summary view, the grid in Moving mode displays the same columns as [Period mode](/analytics/customize-your-view-analytics/change-the-mode/period-mode.md), however, the data that displays is different. One exception is the data in the cumulative columns, which is not shown as moving, so it is the same as it is in Period mode.
For example, in the images below, where Period mode displays the January 2023 current value as 8,762,679.93, Moving mode displays it as 77,158,052.24, which is the current cumulative sum of March 2022 to January 2023 (68,865,975.52) plus the February 2022 value (8,292,076.72).
## Moving mode in a filtered view
When you select a dimension, the grid displays columns for the active properties (such as **Code** and **Name**) for that dimension, a **Total** column, and a column for each month (plus the previous 11 months) in the current period.
## Example of Moving mode
Use Moving mode to view the Sales Rep performance from a moving, annual total perspective:
1. Click **Mode** > **Moving**.
2. Click the **Sales Rep** dimension. The grid updates to display the moving total of sales generated by each Sales Rep, each month. Each month has the previous 11 months added to give a moving annual total.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.phocassoftware.com/analytics/customize-your-view-analytics/change-the-mode/moving-mode.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
