Returning user
Page navigation — After login, click on “All projects”. Select your project.
You will be able to see a dashboard with two main components in the top half of the “Summary” tab page
The first chart shows a breakdown of the cost based on the services utilized in the project. This chart provides a visual way of breaking down your costs in the form of a treemap chart. A treemap chart provides a hierarchical view of your data and makes it easy to spot patterns, such as which services are costing you the most per month. You can hover your mouse on the coloured boxes to Services available in the project are detailed in the section named → Actions that can be performed on the page
The second chart shows a breakdown of the cost for every day for the last 30 days. Each horizontal bar in the bar graph represents the total cost of that particular day. Each of the horizontal bars is the sum of all the services that bore cost on that particular day. Each of the services in the horizontal bar represents the cost contributions of each service.
You can hover over the individual bars to look at the breakdown of the cost-bearing services for that particular day. You can also find out the cost contribution, of a particular service, to the day’s cost in percentage.
