## Starting the dashboard
<a name="start-agreements-dashboard"></a>

You can use the **Procurement insights** dashboard in the AWS Marketplace console, or you can call it programmatically. When you use the dashboard in the console, it provides two tabs, **Cost analysis** and **Agreements**. The following steps explain how to open the dashboard in the console.

**To start the dashboard**

1. Open the AWS Marketplace console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/marketplace](https://console.aws.amazon.com/marketplace).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Procurement insights**.

1. Do either of the following:
   + Use the charts and graphs on the **Cost analysis** tab for information about the amounts spent on products and sellers.
   + Use the charts and graphs on the **Agreements** tab to gain an overall view of the AWS Marketplace agreements across all the AWS accounts in your organization.
**Important**  
The tab's **Expired agreements** section only shows data for agreements that expired after the dashboard became available for use.

## Tips for using the dashboard
<a name="dashboard-tips"></a>

The following tips can help you use the **Procurement insights** dashboard.
+ The dashboard uses Quick to present your data. The system automatically chooses the charts and other display elements that most logically fit your data. For more information about using Quick dashboards, see [Interacting with Quick dashboards](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/exploring-dashboards.html), in the *Quick User Guide*.
+ You can download your data. Scroll down to the **Source data** table in either tab. Point to the upper-right corner of the table, then choose the vertical ellipsis to export your data. You can export to a CSV file, or to Microsoft Excel.

+ Both tabs use the same data filters. The filters on a given tab only apply to that tab, but they apply to all the charts and graphs on the tab. The following table lists the filters and their default values.    
[\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/buyerguide/using-the-dashboard.html)
+ To change the default filter values, select the arrow on the right side of the **Controls** bar.
