Everything in CloudMonitor's menu, in the order you'll find it. Screens are grouped by what you're
trying to do: **Inform** tells you where the money went, **Optimize** finds ways to spend less, and
**Operate** is where you run the day to day.

Some screens are optional modules. If one isn't in your menu, it isn't switched on for your
workspace — an admin can turn it on under Settings ▸ Workspace Settings ▸ Features.

## Overview

| Screen | What it answers | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| **Overview** | Where your spend stands right now, with the trend, your budget position and anything that needs attention. | Everyone |

## Inform

| Screen | What it answers | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| **The Ledger** | The full bill in one place — every charge, groupable by provider, service, cost group, subscription, region or virtual tag, three levels deep. | Everyone |
| **Explorer** | Build your own analysis: group by any dimension, switch the chart, show cost as a rate, then save it as a view. | Everyone |
| **Ask CloudMonitor** | Ask a question about your costs in plain English and get an answer from your own data. | Set up at installation |
| **Cost Groups** | Spend for the period grouped by cost group, so you can see which part of the business each charge belongs to. | Everyone |
| **Unallocated Costs** | Spend that doesn't belong to any cost group yet, and how big that gap is against the whole bill. | Everyone |
| **Cost Allocation** | How your spend is divided between cost groups, and which rule sent each charge where. | Everyone |
| **Unit Economics** | Cost expressed as a rate — per customer, per active user, per thousand requests — so spend reads against the value it produces. | Coming soon · Needs the **Unit Economics** module |
| **Microsoft 365** | Microsoft 365 usage, licensing and security in one place — adoption, users and groups, product licenses and license spend. | Needs the **Microsoft 365** module |

## Optimize

| Screen | What it answers | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| **Commitments** | Your reservations and savings plans — what they save, how well they're used, what's expiring and what to buy next. | Everyone |
| **Savings** | Every waste and rightsizing opportunity across the estate, ranked by how much it would save. | Everyone |
| **Anomalies** | Cost spikes worth investigating, each with a likely cause, an owner and a next step. | Everyone |
| **WAF Recommendations** | Reliability, security, operational and performance recommendations for your Azure estate, in one list. | Everyone |

## Operate

| Screen | What it answers | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| **Search Resources** | Find any single resource and see what it costs, who owns it and when it was created. | Everyone |
| **Virtual Machines** | Every virtual machine with its size, operating system, license and cost — and where Azure Hybrid Benefit is being applied. | Everyone |
| **Fabric** | What your Microsoft Fabric capacity costs, and which workspaces, items and people are using it. | Everyone |
| **Budgets & Forecasts** | How every budget is tracking against actual spend, with a month-end forecast and alert thresholds. | Everyone |

## Tokenomics

| Screen | What it answers | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| **AI Spend** | What your AI tools cost — by provider and model, including tokens, seats and compute. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |
| **AI Tool Adoption** | Which AI tools your teams actually use, ranked by active users. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |
| **AI Spend by Business Unit** | How AI spend splits across your cost groups. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |
| **Power Users** | The people using AI tools most, with their usage and spend for the period. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |
| **Seat Utilization** | Seats you're paying for versus seats anyone is actually using. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |
| **TokenMaxing** | Ways to get more value from every unit of AI spend — caching, routing and batching, ranked by saving. | Needs the **Tokenomics** module |

## Settings

Settings has its own menu, reached from **Settings** at the bottom of the sidebar.
