# Add group by variables to service catalog reports

# Add additional group by variables to a service catalog report {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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.

## Before you begin

Roles required: itil, report_user, report_group, report_global, report_admin, or admin. To create a meaningful report, you must have the right to access the data you want to report on.

## About this task

You can apply these steps to any report type as long as the report source has variables associated with it. If the report source doesn't have variables, the Variables option doesn't display in the
Additional group by filter.

## Procedure

1. Open the Platform Analytics Data visualization library and select Create data visualization, then select Core UI in the modal that opens.  
   The com.snc.par.coreui.report_create.enabled system property must be <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.
2. On the Data tab, give the report a name that reflects the information being grouped.
3. Select a report source that has variables associated with it.  
   There are two kinds of report sources.{#add-addl-group-svc-cat-var-report__simpletable_zx4_gsn_4wb__entry__2}

   | Report source | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Data source | A table with filters applied to provide a single source of information for all users. |
   | Table | The raw data from a table with no filters applied. |
