A view can be added by clicking on the "+" tab in the Views section. Each view displays the cost spent on the selected subscriptions based on the filters applied.

Saving a View

  • A view added by the user can be saved by using the Save option available within Actions. A short description can be added for a better understanding of the specific view.

  • All the saved views can be accessed by using the Saved Views option. The Saved Views wizard allows users to update, pin (or) unpin, open, and delete saved views.
