# Accounts

The **Accounts** report gives the ability to drill down into your metered based IT consumption costs. The way you've defined your **Report Definition**, determines on what values you can zoom into.

Once you've logged into the system, go to "*Reports*" > '*Accounts*'. Here are a few key parameters you can choose from that define how your report is generated:

## Date Selection

The date selector is important to limit the scope of data you're focusing.

First select the date you are interested in. This can be a single month, a 3-month time period, half a year, a full year, or a custom date range.

## Report Definition

You Exivity solution can have more then one **Report Definitions** configured. If this is the case, you will need to select the appropriate **Report Definition** that contains the data on which you want to report. Keep in mind that an end user will only see **Report Definitions** that he or see is allowed to see, and the first one is automatically selected.

## Drill Down, Services & Report Depth

Once you have selected your date range and **Report Definition**, you can start drilling down into your data using a number of ways:

1. You can move your mouse over one of the accounts that are shown in the detailed report. For each account, you have the ability to '*Drill Down*'. This will do two things:
   1. Changes your **Report Definition** view one level deeper
   2. It sets the '*Parent*' filter to the account you've selected
2. Apart from the ability to '*Drill Down*', you can also view the '*Services*' associated with an account on any level of your **Report Definition**. This will change your view from the '*Accounts*' report to the '*Services*' report
