Connect the roles in Group Results with GROUP BY and HAVINGA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about group results with group by and having.
Grouping valueData identifies each technician group
Table groupsTable partitions rows by technician key
Aggregate resultResult counts rows inside each group
Having conditionDecision filters completed group summaries
