I am the plaintiff can a summary judgment be appealed
Yes! It is well settled that the party moving for summary judgment carries the burden of establishing that there is no issue as to any material fact and that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Avco Fin. Servs. Of Indianapolis, Inc. v. Metro Holding Co., 563 N.E.2d 1323, 1326 (Ind. Ct. App. 1990). The moving party must fulfill these two requirements before any burden shifts to the nonmovant. Id. The nonmovant may rest upon his pleadings until the moving party establishes no genuine factual issue exists.
If the Defendant follows the Rules of Appellate Procedure and can establish such, the Judgment can be reversed and remanded.

Basically, a default judgment is something you did NOT argue about in court by filing answers to the Summons and Complaint, and the Summary Judgment is something you did argue about IN COURT.
The Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is asking the court to rule on all pleadings that have been filed in the case. This happens if one of the defendants has filed an response or answer. The Plaintiff will usually ask for judgment when filing a motion for summary judgment.
A summary judgment motion tells the court that based upon all the pleadings filed in the case, there are no issues of fact for the court to resolve at a trial, and that the plaintiff is entitled to a judgment without a trial, as a matter of law.
The final answer. Could mean write a paragraph on why (x) is the final asnwer.
I have found that when this is granted, the other party may file objection to, request to readdress, or appeal the judgement.
