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.

• Selecting the figure on the customer card will navigate to the Customers page.
