Create reports grouped by a variable on a selected service catalog item. You can also
create filters on the same variable.

Reporting on variables can be helpful in determining if certain catalog items are useful on an instance, for example.

Additionally, you can create filters on the same variable. For example, if a specific mobile phone item has a storage variable, you can create a report that only shows those phones with 32 GB of storage.

See an overview video on dot-walking to, filtering, and using catalog variables in a database view at: [Reporting on Catalog Variables](https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=6ebecdd8db3a8058d58ea345ca96194e).  
* To group by variables, see [Group a report by service catalog variables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0rFDHLfC3FFm~vPukHrgsQ "You can create reports grouped by variable on a selected service catalog item. In addition, you can create filters on the same variable. For example, if a mobile phone item has a storage variable, you can create a report that only shows those phones with 32 GB of storage.").
* To group a report on a field and also group by a variable, see [Add additional group by variables to a service catalog report](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/VqCbZ9n6G9bIAwa81csQXw "You can create reports grouped by any field with an additional group by variable on a selected service catalog item. In addition, you can create filters on the same variable. For example, if a mobile phone item has a storage variable, you can create a report that only shows those phones with 32 GB of storage.").
* To add a variable field to a list report, see [Create a list report with variable columns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/tuN8S3NTPwSaX48xUfCEJg "You can create a list report with variables columns based on a data source or table that has variables associated with it. For example, if an item has a variable called Storage, you can create a list report that has a column for the values in this variable.").

For reporting on variable questions, see: [Report on questions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UzG~EHYTKYqIzJDIP977YQ#report-on-questions "Report on selected questions by grouping or filtering on them.")
* **[Use service catalog variables in a report](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GId3QiJ3ihD4wcN0KIIOlg)**   
  In reports on service catalog data, stack and group by variables, use variables as columns in list reports, and as columns and rows in multilevel pivot tables.
