I'm building a custom view ona drupal site and i added all the fields i wanted, but i can't seem to find out how to add the summary that i created for the node. Anyone can help?

I've added Body, put it doesn't include the summary.

Thanks

Ahah - just ran into the same problem - confused me for a moment too.

Go to the View in question, click the + icon to add a field, and select Fields: body. Then when the configuration options for that comes up, go to the very bottom and you'll see a drop down labelled Formatter - select Summary or trimmed. I think this gives you the summary if it exists, if not it will trim it for you.
