## Steps to Create a Report
20+
21+
<Steps>
22+
23+
### Navigate to the Cloud Cost Section
24+
25+
Go to the `Cloud Cost` section under the `Insights` tab. Make sure you are operating at the **Organization level**.
26+
27+

28+
29+
Click the **Create New Report** button.
30+
31+
### Add a Cost Report
32+
33+
You’ll be redirected to a form where you can select an existing credential or create a new one.
34+

36+
37+
Let’s go ahead and create a new credential.
38+
39+
### Create New Credential
40+
41+
A popup will appear prompting you to add a new credential.
42+

44+
45+
- Enter a **name** and the **AWS Account ID** for which you want to create the report.
46+
- Under the **Permissions** section, select **Cloud Cost Access**.
47+
48+
Before clicking **Create**, click the **Create Role on AWS** button. This will redirect you to the AWS CloudFormation console for the account you opened earlier.
49+
50+
> Deploy the provided CloudFormation stack — it will create the necessary IAM role within your AWS account.
51+
52+
Once the stack is successfully created, return and click the **Create** button.
53+

55+
56+
### Select the Credential and Create the Report
57+
58+
You’ll be redirected back to the cost report form. Select the newly created credential and click **Create** to generate the report.
59+

61+
62+
<Callout type="info">
63+
Report generation may take up to 24 hours. AWS budget exports require time to process, and our system retrieves data via a daily scheduled job.
64+
</Callout>
65+
66+
</Steps>
67+
68+
## Final Notes
69+
70+
Once the report has been successfully created, it will appear in the **Cloud Cost** dashboard, providing detailed insights into your AWS spending patterns.
