Using Rule-Based Dimensions to Analyze Cost

Rule-based dimensions are flexible, user-defined dimensions you can use to view your organization’s cost data categorized in groups that fit your business needs. With rule-based dimensions, you can automatically group costs to a business unit, department, product, project, or any other dimension, and you can combine rules to meaningful categories for cost reporting and analysis.

You can apply rule-based dimensions on the Cloud Dashboards and the Tabular View to look at their costs from meaningful new perspectives and provide new insights important to their business. You can manage the rule-based dimensions:

•

On the Rule-Based Dimensions page (Administration > Cloud Settings > Rule-Based Dimensions). For more information, see Using Rule-Based Dimensions to Analyze Cost.

•

Using the Rules-Based Dimensions API. For more information, see FinOps Customizations API.

Important:The Manage organization or Manage rule-based dimensions role is required to create and modify rule-based dimensions. For complete descriptions of each role available in Flexera One, see Flexera One Roles.
