The summary page should show the maximum utilisation for each member and a note indicating what this is for. E.g. if you had a member at 98% bending capacity the summary page should show this as Max UC = 98% - Bending.
This makes reviewing larger projects a lot simpler as you can hone in on those members that are close to being under designed. The added benefit is that when you go to discuss the project with the client you can quickly show which are the critical members.

Another thing that should be added to the design summary is the reactions of the beam. This would be convenient for people who want to put their loads into their drawings.
