If an app is a container app, then the displayed statistics are a roll-up of all the applications in the container. For example, gmail is a container app (there is no app-id for gmail). It groups applications such as gmail-posting, gmail-downloading, gmail-uploading, and so forth. The risk score set for this container app is the highest risk score found for the contained applications. All other metrics are calculated by summing the values found for the contained applications.
