Finout's Saved Views

A Finout view is how you can save and name a set of filters and the applied group by, allowing you to easily return to view the required data and share this with your team. In addition, the time aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly) and period of the query are also saved as part of the view.

The filters can be applied using out-of-the-box resources such as Azure, GCP, AWS, Datadog, GCP, Global, Kubernetes, Snowflake, or Databricks, as well as virtual tags to view the costs associated with logical categories. You can create as many views as required, and these are shared automatically with all users in your account.

A view can be applied to a cost report or as a Dashboard widget.
