Using Labels

Labeling objects makes it easy to search, filter, and report on any attribute that is important to your organization. For example:

• If you label your projects by environment, you can create a report to see how much you are spending on your different types of environments within an OU or the whole organization.
• You can label your funding sources by year and view all funding sources for a particular year at once.
• If components of your application span across multiple accounts or projects, you can label those components as belonging to the same application. Then, you can create a consolidated report of your expenses associated with the application, regardless of where the components are.

Using Labels in Reports

When creating certain reports, such as spend reports, you can use filters to report on objects with labels. Click Add Filter to use tags and labels to filter your report. You can specify if you want the results to include or exclude each tag/label, the tag/label key, and the tag/label values. You can add as many filters as you want and use a combination of tags and labels in the same report.
