Grouping elements in Tenable Security Centerreports include:

Type	Description	Relevant Reports
Group	Groups associated elements on the same page.	PDF
Section	Allows you to organize content within chapters.	PDF
Iterator	Allows you to specify how the report groups its data. For example, if an Iterator Type of Port Summary is chosen for a vulnerability report, vulnerability data in the report is grouped by detected ports. If you do not configure an iterator, hosts and vulnerabilities are listed in the report individually.	PDF
