> Report grouping lets you specify how a set of tag data will be separated into subdivisions within a report. You can create a group based on any of the fields for the tag format chosen, and define a series of rules that will generate groups within a report. Both list and count data included in the report are grouped.

> When you create report groups, every tag reported in an event cycle will be part of exactly one group. If a tag does not match any of the pattern URIs in the pattern list, it is included in a special "default group." As a special case of the above rule, if the pattern list is empty (or if no groups are defined), all tags will be part of the default group.
