I want to create a report with graphs for scales based on averages of a handful of items. Is it possible to create summary variables?

If you would like to create a summary variable that incorporates multiple questions, go to the survey tools and select Scoring. From Scoring, you can create what the 360 calls Categories. Create categories by selecting Manage Categories. You can then score each category by denoting the scores you want to assign to each answer. Each category will then be available to reference in report graphs, tables, etc.
