You can optionally also select a subgroup from the Subgroup field to further divide your data.
Select Confirm choices.

The results appear in the form of records in the ELP Grouping report results page. Every time you generate a report, a grouping result record gets created.

At any given time, only one grouping result exists for a particular publisher and product.
Opcional: Select a record to view the record details page.
You can view the results for every ELP report that you have run in the ELP License Position Grouping Reports tab. Among other details, each record displays the average price, total price, licenses required for each publisher and product, along with the edition and the group value.
Select the display name for a report to view the related list of the consumptions that contributed to the ELP grouping record.

The Required by device related list shows you a list of devices that require licenses, within the specific category that you selected.
