Creating a page to display record counts by field criteria

Creating a page to display record counts by field criteria

Greetings all, I did my best to find the answer on my own.. here's what I've got:
I have a Creator application with a bunch of records with different "Statuses" by field.
I want to create a simple page in the application for my users which would provide a summary of record counts by "Status"

Example:
Status field values:   Pending, Paid, Cancelled

Page/Report desired:

Pending:        37  (records)
Paid:             31 (records)
Cancelled:     12 (records)

From what I'm gathering, this can be done through the Aggregate Records functioning?
Specifically my question would be-
a. Where do I create the Aggregate Records function
b. How do I display the results of the Aggregate Records function I just created in a simple "Report-Style" page?

Thank you for your help.
