if you were to add new custom fields, you could put the new fields into the standard autosummary group and the fields would show up on that fast tabs summar section (upper right hand corner);

AutoID has something to do with replacement keys, and Auto browse are just for hover over I think

AutoIdentification : The default field group used to replace the surrogate foreign key is the AutoIdentification field group. The AutoIdentification field group includes the natural key fields from the referenced table. However, you can use a different field group to replace the surrogate foreign key.

AutoSummary: A summary field is a field value that appears in the FastTab title. You use summary fields to provide quick access to important data values that build context for the record. In addition, summary fields remain visible when the FastTab is collapsed. This enables you to view important information even when the FastTab is collapsed.

The summary fields include the values of the first five fields from the AutoSummary field group that appear on the form. However, you can customize the summary fields to add or remove individual field values. Summary fields are optional and you can prevent the FastTab from displaying any summary field values.
