Today, Vantage announces the ability to group by tagged status in Cost Reports and cost allocation segments. Customers can now use this grouping category to see, at a high level, if cost resources are or are not tagged.
Before, customers could group or filter by a specific resource tag, but they were unable to see, at a high level, all resources that were or were not tagged. Now, customers can create a quick Cost Report, grouped by tagged status and resource, and get a comprehensive view of their whole tagging structure.

The Tagged grouping dimension is available to all customers. To get started, navigate to any Cost Report or cost allocation segment, and click the Group By menu. The Tagged option is available within this menu. For more information on grouping in Cost Reports, see the Cost Reports documentation. For more information on how to use cost allocation segments, see the segments documentation.
