Resource Explorer: “Live Filtered” Column
We have added a "Live Filtered" column to the Resource Explorer for all grouping options except for grouping by resources. This optional column displays the "Live Filtered" total for all items on the table highlighting the underutilized space per Service, Product Family, Regions and other groupings.

Resource Explorer: Granular Cost View
We introduced a granular cost view in the Resource Explorer, allowing users to view cost breakdowns by day over day or month over month break downs. User can switch between the "Total" and "Granular" costs with one click. Costs and trends for each data point are displayed in separate columns, arranged from newest to oldest. The table can show up to 30 data points, with an option to show more if the time range exceeds 30 days. The downloaded CSV contains all data for the selected date range and is Excel-compatible.

Missing Permissions on Account Card
Cloudchipr now displays missing permissions associated with an account directly on the account card via a tooltip. A scrollable list is provided for easier viewing if there are more than 5 missing permissions.
