1. Adding a New Widget​

Think of widgets as customizable sections that utilize different chart types to provide insights into your cloud cost and usage.

  1. To add a new widget, choose a category based on your needs, such as "cloud cost analysis", "aggregations & forecasting", "budgets" or "inventory cost analysis."
  2. Select your cloud provider, apply filters from our detailed filter section, and specify aggregation and cost types.

Your widget will be added to the dashboard, and you can freely resize and arrange it as needed.

2. Using a Template​

Templates are preconfigured sets of widgets designed for specific use cases. They update automatically and can be edited, shared, or downloaded as reports.

  1. To use a template, click the "Use a template" button, then select the desired template based on your use case.
