Here are a few of the latest improvements and updates based on your feedback:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Scheduled%20alerts%20for%20built-in%20views%20in%20Cost%20analysis\">Scheduled alerts for built-in views in Cost analysis<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Details%20about%20included%20costs%20in%20the%20Cost%20analysis%20preview\">Details about included costs in the Cost analysis preview<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Enable%20preview%20features%20and%20share%20your%20feedback\">Enable preview features and share your feedback<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Labs\">What&#8217;s new in Cost Management Labs<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Save\">New ways to save money with Microsoft Cloud<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#New%20videos%20and%20learning%20opportunities\">New videos and learning opportunities<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-cost-management-updates-march-2023\/#Documentation%20updates\">Documentation updates<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s dig into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scheduled-alerts-for-built-in-views-in-cost-analysis\">Scheduled alerts for built-in views in Cost analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost Management offers numerous ways to stay on top of your costs and catch unexpected charges, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/azure\/cost-management-billing\/costs\/tutorial-acm-create-budgets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">defining budgets<\/a>&nbsp;to get notified as costs approach or exceed predefined thresholds, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/azure\/cost-management-billing\/understand\/analyze-unexpected-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">configuring anomaly alerts<\/a>&nbsp;to get notified when we detect atypical spending patterns in your subscription costs. But sometimes you\u2019re looking for something a little simpler. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to just get a quick email letting you know how things have been going over the last week? Maybe you want to see how you\u2019re trending against your budget or what you\u2019re forecasted to spend for the month or maybe you want to see what your daily run rate has been over the last 30 days. Perhaps you simply want to check in once a month to see how your usage trends have changed compared to the previous months. These are exactly the types of reasons why you might want to use scheduled alerts in Cost analysis. You\u2019ve been able to save a custom view and schedule alerts for a while. Now, you can also schedule alerts using the built-in chart views available in Cost analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Accumulated costs<\/td><td>Daily costs<\/td><td>Cost by service<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"110\" class=\"wp-image-41942\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/e013a501-b4e6-48bc-af54-07dd0ba2e840.png\" alt=\"Accumulated costs chart view\"><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"110\" class=\"wp-image-41941\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a31a7a4a-2b09-4436-8569-0bd4508a1136.png\" alt=\"Daily costs chart view\"><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" class=\"wp-image-41940\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/abbccf33-c900-42d6-b5f6-01442fac9808.png\" alt=\"Cost by service chart view\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started, open&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/costanalysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cost analysis<\/a>, choose one of the built-in (or saved) chart views from the view menu, and select the&nbsp;<strong>Subscribe<\/strong>&nbsp;command at the top of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/cost-management-billing\/costs\/save-share-views#subscribe-to-cost-alerts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Save and share customized views<\/a>, and stay tuned for even more opportunities to monitor your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"details-about-included-costs-in-the-cost-analysis-preview\">Details about included costs in the Cost analysis preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing what\u2019s included in your costs is a critical part of understanding what you\u2019re spending and where.
