Viewing Chargeback by Owner

You can view chargeback for all elements by using the Ownership tab. The Ownership tab shows the ownership distribution across different departments and helps you to quickly identify the assets without a department owner.

To view chargeback by owner:

1.Access Chargeback Manager.

2.Click the Ownership tab in the right pane.

3.Select one of the following from the Chargeback Method menu:

•Asset-based - Displays chargeback information for assets.

•Storage-based - Displays chargeback information for storage (applications only).

The management server displays asset-based or storage-based chargeback information based on your selection. The management server displays chargeback information from the previous month. For example, assume you view chargeback information in the middle of February. The calculations for chargeback would include the month of January, but not February.

NOTE: You can sort elements according to a column heading. Click a column heading in the table to sort the data. The arrow next to a column heading indicates whether the items are being sorted in ascending or descending order. If the arrow is pointing up, items are sorted in ascending and alphabetical order. If the arrow is pointing down, items are sorted in descending and reserved alphabetical order.

The following information is displayed:

•Department Name - The department that owns the element. This information was provided when the department was added.

•Department Number - The number of the department that owns the element. This information was provided when the department was added.

•Application or Asset Name - The name of the associated element or application.
