Activating Cost Tags

Important Notes

Generally, tags appear on the Cost Tags page 24 hours after resource expenditures are generated. If there are no tags to activate, consider shortening the tag length or removing the colon from tags.

You can filter or group cost data by cost tag only after the tags are activated and their associated resources have incurred costs. Activated tags are not used for historical costs.

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. Log in to Cost Center.
2. Choose Cost Allocation > Cost Tags.
3. 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 have generated expenditures.
   • Predefined tags: You can create such tags on the TMS console. They will appear on the Cost Tags page immediately after being created.
