The Budget Analysis dashboard allows administrators to filter and view budgets in one place in order to keep track of progress against budget over time. Budgets in HPE Morpheus Enterprise (Operations > Budgets) are tied to a specific scope (Account, Tenant, Cloud, Group, or User) and budgets of the same scope are viewed together in this dashboard. A scope filter must be set in order for data to be populated into the dashboard. Once a scope is selected, the search bar can be utilized to return only budgets within the selected scope whose “Name” meets the search terms.

## Filters

Filter the budgets pulled into the dashboard by one or more of the following fields:

- Budget name (all matched by search)
- Scope (This is a required field, data is not populated into the dashboard until a scope is specified)

## Data Displayed

The following aggregate totals are compiled for all budgets that meet set filters:

- **BUDGETS:** The total number of budgets that meet set filters
- **MONTH TO DATE:** The total spend in the current month against the selected budgets
- **BUDGETS TO DATE:** The total amount budgeted to date among budgets selected by the dashboard filters (from the start of the year to the end of the current interval)
- **TO BUDGET:** The difference between the COST TO DATE and BUDGETS TO DATE value, should be close to $0 if the costs are appropriately tracking against the budgeted amounts

## Budget List

Each budget with its own graph and breakdown is displayed going down the page. The format of the information presented depends on the interval that the specific budget is configured for.
