Activating Cost Tags

Important Notes

Generally, tags appear on the Cost Tags page 24 hours after their associated resources generate expenditures. If there are no tags to activate, consider removing the colons (:) from tags.

You can filter or group cost data by cost tag only after the tagged resources incur costs and the tags are activated in Cost Center.

If you are using a member account that has been associated with your master account for unified accounting management, you are not allowed to activate or deactivate tags. Instead, you can only use the tags activated by your master account for data analysis.

Activating or Deactivating a Tag

1. Access the Cost Tags page.
2. Select a tag and activate or deactivate it.

   

   There are two types of tags:

   • Expenditure tags: You can add such tags when creating resources. They will appear on the Cost Tags page 24 hours after their associated resources generate expenditures.
   • Predefined tags: You can create such tags on the Tag Management Service (TMS) console. They will appear on the Cost Tags page immediately after being created.
