What is this used for?

For example, let's suppose that all applications are assigned to a Provider. It would be very interesting to know, for example, which are the providers

with higher technical debt.

You can do it selecting the

Provider

portfolio in the

Group by

combo.

In this way, you know at a first glance a ranking of providers based on technical debt.

You can also use filters to add more conditions to the selected criteria. 

For example, your company is going to develop a Java application and you need to know the provider with lower technical

debt in Java.

That provider would be the first candidate to assign the development.
To do it, you can use filters as the picture shows.
