Example Use Case for Chargeback

You are an IT professional in charge of a network with over three hundred virtual machines (VMs).

You decide to begin by generating a chargeback report of the Human Resources Department, using Foglight Chargeback. You know the following:

Creating the Human Resources Department Tiered Flat Rate (TFR) Assignments

2
Click Set Currency.
