Output Arrangement and Detail
The Usage Summary report shows license usage by feature. To create a report
that shows more detail about the nature of license usage, you can use a
combination of:
■
Summary period
■
Breakdown category
■
Sort order specification
■
Feature description
Using these controls, you can decompose the usage of each feature into useful
groupings according to your particular reporting requirements.
You may use the Summary choice lists in the SAMreport-Lite main window,
which provide easy access to the Feature, User Name, and User Host Name
breakdown categories. You will notice that changing the breakdown settings
automatically changes the sort order to defaults that correspond to your
breakdown settings.
If you specify multiple breakdown categories, the resulting report shows use
of features by each unique combination of breakdown categories.
