Sum of reactions, sum of forces, sum of values

I design a structure with four base nodes, and I have to give the reaction table so another coworks design the foundations, when I look table I get a little confused, beacuse there are 3 rows, sum of value, reactions  and forces, the last two show the same results but the sum of values no, and when I looked up the diagram for the reactions this show the sum of values.

 

Which is the correct value to use?

hi @Janeth_95 

sum of value is current selection of nodes (if table is partial, not complete)

Sum of reactions = - Sum of Forces

if Check Val. = Sum of reactions - Sum of Forces = 0 then there is equilibrium

So the correct is the sum of reactions to the design of the foundations?

I get confused beacuse when I go to results to se the reaccions in the 3D view and select the reactions it appears the Sum of value as result

hi @Janeth_95 

the sums of the reactions or forces take into account all the loads applied to the model.
