custom summaries & interface resources

I figured this out:

1) in the "Edit" window for the custom object resource, click "Select Orion Object"

2) in the "Select a Network Object" pop-up window, change the "show only" menu to "Interfaces". This is the key point I was missing before.

3) Select the interface from the right side pane. This is a horrible UI choice here, since I have only a moderate sized installation and there are 75 pages of interfaces to scroll through!

4) Click "Select Orion Object" button.

5) Change the "Select Object Resource" menu to "Min/Max/Average bps - Today"
