Credit Summary: Users can see the Credit Summary tool, select a Credit Type, and view which courses the student has taken in that group.

Transcripts: Users can select the credit total for a Credit Type (under the Total column) to view detailed data for the courses the student took tied to that Credit Type. This is a separate tool right because the data view is the student's transcript record.
