Custom Drilldown

PreviousMegaBillNextCustom Cost Input

Last updated 5 months ago

When it comes to cost groups, gaining a comprehensive understanding of expenses often requires delving deeper into specific cost elements. While default drill-downs have always been a key component in the , we have now gone a step further by providing you with the ability to create your custom drill-downs. With this new edition, you gain the flexibility to explore any cost dimension, tailoring the analysis to match your organization's unique needs. This empowers you to effortlessly visualize any cost dimension at any required level of granularity.

Create a Custom Drilldown

  1. Go to Settings in your Finout account.

  2. Choose Custom Drilldown.

  3. Click on +Add drilldown.

  4. Select the values for your customized drilldown:

    • From Value/Group- Choose either a whole group or a specific value within the group.

      Example- If we take AWS as an example, you can drilldown into the entire Services group.

    • or we can select a specific AWS service.

    • To Group- Select the group into which the drilldown takes place.

  5. Save Drilldown

Using Custom Drilldowns

  1. Navigate to MegaBill.

  2. Choose Group By that includes the group or value from which the value you created in the custom drilldown

  3. Apply group by.

  4. The MegaBill chart will now show the Group By that you chose. Click on the area on the graph corresponding to the value/group you selected during custom drilldown creation (e.g., AmazongEC2)

  5. You will see the cost for all values from your drilldown definition group under the chosen value.

Example

Let's say you want to view the cost of all AWS services under the "Virtual Tag - Application" in your MegaBill.

  1. Under Custom Drilldown (in Settings), choose the following:

    • From Value/Group: Application (Virtual Tag under Dev Group Test).

    • To Group: AWS Services.

  2. Save your Custom Drilldown.

  3. In the MegaBill:

    • Click Group By- Virtual Tags - Dev Group Test (Virtual Tag including the Application group).

    • Click Apply Group By

    • Click on the Application group to drilldown further.

    Now, you'll have a clear view of your MegaBill with the Custom Drilldown we created:

    Group By: AWS Services, including the scope of Application, are divided into different AWS services.
