Custom dashboards and saved views help you quickly apply filter configurations. Dashboards are standalone views, while saved views restore your Cost Explorer state.

​
Creating a Custom Dashboard

  1. Go to Dashboards
  2. Click Create Dashboard
  3. Configure your filters:
  1. Add a name and description
  2. Click Save
Your dashboard is now available to everyone in your organization. Every organization gets five pre-built dashboards: Click any dashboard to open the Cost Explorer with those filters applied.

​
Starring Dashboards

Star your most-used dashboards to keep them at the top:
  1. Hover over a dashboard in the list
  2. Click the star icon
Stars are personal. Your starred dashboards won’t affect what your teammates see.

​
Editing and Deleting

You can edit or delete dashboards you created:
  1. Hover over the dashboard
  2. Click the menu icon (three dots)
  3. Choose Edit or Delete
Recommended dashboards cannot be edited or deleted. They’re always available as baseline views.

​
Saved Views

Saved views capture your current Cost Explorer state. They’re faster than dashboards for quick filter switching.

​
What Gets Saved

  • Relative date range
  • Selected models
  • Metadata filters
  • Granularity (hourly, daily, monthly)
  • Group by dimension (provider, model, modality, or metadata key)

​
Creating a Saved View

  1. Open Cost Explorer
  2. Apply your filters
  3. Click Save View
  4. Enter a title and optional description
  5. Click Save

​
Applying a Saved View

  1. Click the Saved Views button in Cost Explorer
  2. A sidebar opens with all your organization’s views
  3. Click a view to apply it
Your filters update instantly.

​
Saved Views vs Custom Dashboards

Use dashboards for curated views you want everyone to access. Use saved views for personal filter combinations you apply frequently.

​
Example Workflows

​
Weekly Team Review

Create a dashboard for your weekly meeting:
  1. Name: “Weekly Cost Review”
  2. Date: Last 7 days
  3. Filter: environment = production
Open it every Monday for a consistent view.

​
Feature Development

Save views for the feature you’re working on:
  1. Apply filters: feature = chat, model = gpt-4o
  2. Set granularity: daily
  3. Group by: model
  4. Save as “Chat Feature Development”
Restore this view whenever you need to check costs.

​
Environment Comparison

Create dashboards for each environment:
  • “Production Costs” (environment = production)
  • “Staging Costs” (environment = staging)
  • “Development Costs” (environment = development)
Star the one you check most often.

​
Tips

  1. Keep dashboards focused: One question per dashboard
  2. Use relative dates: “Last 30 days” stays current; fixed dates don’t
  3. Star strategically: Only star what you check daily
  4. Name clearly: “Q1 GPT-4 Production” beats “Dashboard 1”
