# Switch between Summary and Dimension views
Switch between a high-level summary of your data and detailed data for a selected dimension.
{% hint style="info" %}
User permission: **Query**
{% endhint %}
Every mode has Summary and Dimension views. Use these views to move between an overview of your data and the individual entities you want to analyze.
What displays in each view depends on the selected mode. See [Switch modes](/flex-modes/change-your-analysis/switch-modes.md) for details.
Summary view of the data in Period mode
Customer dimension view of the data in Period mode
### View data by dimension
Select a dimension to switch to Dimension view. The grid displays the individual entities in that dimension.
For example, select the **Customer** dimension to view and analyze individual customers.
As you continue your analysis, you can select and focus on entities to narrow the data further.
### Return to Summary view
Click **Summary** to return to a high-level view of the data while retaining the context of your analysis.
For example, if you focus on several customers in Dimension view, click **Summary** to view a summary of those customers rather than the whole database.
The grid displays the summarized data according to the selected mode.
#### Return to your starting point
Click [**Reset**](/flex-modes/save-and-share-your-work/reset-your-analysis.md) to clear the changes you made during your analysis and return to the view where you started your analysis.

## 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/flex-modes/change-your-analysis/switch-between-summary-and-dimension-views.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.
