Summary ticks are only supported for components with table s

Error message

Summary ticks are only supported for components with table storage.

What it means

Compile-time error from the Component derive: #[component(summary_tick)] (or a related summary-tick feature) was requested on a component whose storage is not table (sparse-set storage), but summary ticks are only implemented for table storage.
