Viewing a Budget

Follow the instructions below to show the Budget Dashboard for a budget in the Budget List.

To view a budget dashboard

Click Cloud > Budgets to show the budget list.

Click the name of the budget for which you want to see a dashboard.

Flexera One shows the budget dashboard for the budget you selected.

Tip:For a quick look at budget settings, click the next to the budget name. This shows a popup with details about the budget’s date range, the dimensions used to group data, and whether costs are amortized or unamortized.

Dashboard Components

The budget dashboard shows the total cloud budget, current cloud spend, remaining budget balance, and unbudgeted spend as well as charts for cumulative spend and monthly spend. The dashboard also shows the budget data details in a table that you can filter.

Budget Dashboard Components
Component	Description
Budget	The total amount for the current budget.
Spend	The total spending for the current budget’s date range.
Remaining	The difference between the current budget and current spend.
Unbudgeted	Cloud spend that is not accounted for in the budget. Where Flexera One finds unbudgeted spend, you can edit the budget to add and track this spending.
Cumulative Spend graph	A graph of cumulative spending versus the current budget on a monthly basis.
Spend graph	A graph of cloud spending against the current budget on a monthly basis.
Budget Data table	A table of budget and spend data grouped by the dimensions defined in the current budget.

Tip:You can filter the date range shown on the Budget Dashboard for the current budget using the Date Range control at the top of the Budget Dashboard page. Otherwise, the dashboard shows budget and spend figures for all months included in the budget when it was created.

Filtering Budget Data

You can filter the budget data shown in the table at the bottom of the Budget Dashboard.

Budget data can be filtered by the values in the Group By dimensions and by the numbers in the Budget, Spend, and Remaining columns. For example, if your budget data is grouped by Cloud Provider and includes AWS and Azure, you could filter the table to show only Azure budget data by typing Azure into the Group By filter.

Budget Data Filters
Filters	Operators	Description
Group By	Contains Not Contains Equals Not Equal Starts With Ends With And Or	Filters the budget data in the table to show only the lines for which one or more of the Group By dimension values matches the filter expression you set. It is possible to set a number of filter expressions connected with And or Or operators to define complex filters. Note:Group By dimensions are set when the budget is created and cannot be edited.
Budget	Equals Not Equal Greater Than Greater Than Or Equals Less Than Less Than Or Equals In Range	Filters the budget data in the table to show only the lines for which the budget value matches the filter expression you set. For the In Range operator, you can set the range limit values after you select the In Range operator. It is possible to set a number of filter expressions connected with And or Or operators to define complex filters.
Spend	Equals Not Equal Greater Than Greater Than Or Equals Less Than Less Than Or Equals In Range	Filters the budget data in the table to show only the lines for which the spend value matches the filter expression you set. For the In Range operator, you can set the range limit values after you select the In Range operator. It is possible to set a number of filter expressions connected with And or Or operators to define complex filters.
Remaining	Equals Not Equal Greater Than Greater Than Or Equals Less Than Less Than Or Equals In Range	Filters the budget data in the table to show only the lines for which the remaining value matches the filter expression you set. For the In Range operator, you can set the range limit values after you select the In Range operator. It is possible to set a number of filter expressions connected with And or Or operators to define complex filters.

Tip:You can combine filters to exercise more refined control over which lines appear in the Budget Data table. For example, you might filter the Group By values to filter down to only Test environments and filter Spend values to show only lines where the spend is greater than 0. This would show only spend for Test environments with non-zero spend.
