Filters:
Date: A relative date filter. It defaults to Last 14 days and prints the resolved range underneath (for example, 2026/07/11 to 2026/07/24). Select another preset, or a custom start and end date, to change the reporting period.
Vendor: Users can select any vendor from this filter.
Group Name: Users can select any group name from this filter.
Server Name: Users can select any server name from this filter.
License Type: Users can select any license type from this filter.
Feature Name: Users can select any feature name from this filter.
Software Name: Select a catalogued product from the SAM Catalog. The catalog normalizes publisher and product names, so filtering here groups license records that carry inconsistent raw license strings.
Product Name: Users can select any product name from this filter.
User Name: Users can select any username from this filter.
Child Username: OpenLM aggregates usage under a parent user account, so User Name shows the combined total for that person. Select a child username here to drill into a single account merged under the parent. See User aliases for how OpenLM builds the mapping.
Project Name: Users can select any project name from this filter.
Region: Users can select any user region from this filter.
Department: Users can select any department from this filter.
Additional Key: Users can select any additional key from this filter.

This is license cost attribution by project - the Version 25 project-usage report existed for exactly this: project-oriented companies billing license time to the active project as reported by the end user.
"As reported" is the caveat that matters: usage lands on the project the user's session declared. Hours on a default or stale project selection are misattribution, not work - a dominant "general" slice in the pie is usually that.
The percentage column distributes shared license costs across projects directly; for the efficiency-adjusted version (excluding idle time), pull the same split from License activity grouped by project.
