Using the Client Grouping feature in Sigma, you can group the clients together. The main benefit of Client Grouping is that several clients can be grouped together, thereby making it easier to generate reports that are for the clients in the group. Once several clients are grouped together, all reports for those clients in the group can be generated by executing the group instead of generating those reports separately.
