When are summary fields calculated?

[Dave Sutton]

Dumb question I am sure. If you have defined a summary field for use, lets call it Field A, but don't put it in a layout - is it calculated?

I had guessed that summaries were only calculated when required for a layout, but I may be wrong...

Thanks.

I don't believe it would be calculated unless it or another calculation that referenced it were on a layout.
