Copying Saved Filters

The Advanced Filtering report is now deprecated and replaced by the Advanced Grouping report. Follow these instructions to see how to copy your saved filters from the Advanced Filtering report to the Advanced Grouping report.


Procedure

  1. Open an Advanced Filtering Report that contains a saved filter.
    1. From the left navigation pane, choose Cost > AWS Billing > Custom Reporting > Advanced Filtering. The Advanced Filtering report displays.
    2. From the drop-down list in the Saved Filters section, select a saved filter.

      The application loads the settings for the saved filter.

  2. Open the Advanced Grouping report.

    1. From the left navigation pane, choose Cost > AWS Billing > Custom Reporting and right-click Advanced Grouping.
    2. From the fly-out menu, select Open Link in New Tab.

      This action opens up a new browser window so you can work with the reports side-by-side for easier conversion.

  3. Manually copy the saved settings from the Advanced Filtering report to the new Advanced Grouping report.
