Dashboards
Dashboards aggregate reports and visualizations for key perspectives, such as revenue, usage, margin, and operational health, providing visibility into financial and operational data.
Executive Pulse​
To access the Executive Pulse dashboard, select Dashboard from the top navigation bar, and then select Executive Pulse.
The dashboard contains two parts: three summary cards and a group of preset report widgets.

Summary cards​
The first two summary cards show high-level cloud spend patterns, including the amount of cost and the trend; the last summary card shows the total number of customers in the last 30 days.
| Item | This month spend | This month forecast |
|---|---|---|
| Cost amount | Total cost of the current calendar month. | The ML forecast for your cloud spend by the end of the current calendar month. |
| Trend | How the spend of the current month compares with that of the same period in the previous month. | How the forecast for the current month's spend compares with that for the next month. |
In normal circumstances, the summary cards are updated every 12 hours.
You can select the figure on a summary card for more information:
-
Selecting the cost amount of This month spend will open a report that shows your cost in the last 30 days.
-
Selecting the amount of This month forecast will open a report that shows a forecast for the next 12 months.
