Customizing dashboards - AWS Cost Management

Customizing dashboards

After adding widgets, you can customize your dashboard layout and settings. You can drag widgets to different positions and resize them to emphasize important information.

Time periods can be managed at both the dashboard and widget level:

  • Set a dashboard-level time period that applies to all widgets. This setting affects all widgets temporarily and resets when you leave or refresh the dashboard.

  • Configure individual widget time periods. These settings are saved with each widget and persist when you return to the dashboard.

Note

The Budget report widget displays data in table format only. Visualization type options (line chart, bar chart, stacked bar chart) do not apply to Budget report widgets. The dashboard level time period filter does not apply to Budget report widgets, as budget data is retrieved directly from the AWS Budgets service.

Note

The Cost Efficiency widget supports only line chart and table visualization types. In line chart view, the widget shows your efficiency score percentage over time. In table view, it shows cost efficiency percentage grouped by your selected dimension (AWS account, region, or overall).

Note

The Detected Anomalies widget displays data in table format only. Visualization type options (line chart, bar chart, stacked bar chart) do not apply to Detected Anomalies widgets.
