Authoring and Modifying Reports to Use Hybrid Organizational Structures

You may want to create new feature-based reports—or modify existing feature-based reports—to use hybrid organizational structures. When an organizational structure is enabled for hybrid aggregation, the usage data are aggregated by multiple dimensions: by organizational structure (for example, geographic location) and by license server.

When you use hybrid organizational structures, you can develop Flexera Analytics reports to show usage data that is aggregated on these two dimensions. To do this, you need to author your reports (or make modifications to existing reports) to identify whether the organizational structure is a hybrid organizational structure, and, if so, to enable the report user to select a license server, in addition to an organizational structure.

When you run aggregation for a hybrid organizational structure, the aggregation process creates additional records in the database.***

If an organizational structure is enabled for hybrid aggregation, the report user can select a license server—in addition to selecting an organizational structure—during the report-configuration process. These selections (organizational structure and license server) can be used to filter the information that is shown in the report. (By default the historical-usage reports show data from all license servers.)***
