Cost Allocation Tags

Last updated: 2024-11-11 15:13:23

    Overview

    Tags help you manage your resources. You can use tags to categorize, search for, and aggregate your Tencent Cloud resources. Tags are the labels you attach to Tencent Cloud resources and can be used for cost allocation. A tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. A tag key can have multiple values.
    To display a tag in your bills, you need to set the tag as a cost allocation tag. Each cost allocation tag is a column in bills, and the values of a tag are displayed in the corresponding rows of the resources they are attached to. Tags not set as cost allocation tags are not displayed in bills.

    Prerequisites

    You have logged in to the Tag console.

    Directions

    Creating tag

    1. On the left sidebar, click Tag List.
    2. Click Create Tag.
    3. In the pop-up window, enter a tag key and value, and click OK.
    
    
    

    Attaching tag

    1. On the left sidebar, click Resource Tag.
    2. Select a region and resource type based on your needs and click Query resource.
    Note:
    You can query and tag resources on this page. A tag can be attached to multiple resources, and a resource can have multiple tags.
    
    
    

    Setting cost allocation tag

    1. Go to the Billing Center. On the left sidebar, click Bills > Cost Allocation Tags.
    2. Select the target tag keys and click Set as Cost Allocation Tag.

    FAQs

    When can I see tags in bills after tagging resources and setting cost allocation tags?

    Tagging takes effect immediately, but there is a delay in bill data, so tags will not be displayed until the cache data of bills is refreshed.
    Note:
    The resource tag information at the end of the month is taken for the months when bills were generated in the past. Subsequent changes to the resource tags will not be refreshed after billing.
