Track Estimated Weekly Spend and Savings

In this lesson we'll look at the Costs tab. It shows your Spend History: what your Internet on Demand bandwidth is estimated to have cost over the last eight weeks, and how much your schedules have saved. Start with the three numbers at the top. Eight-Week Spend is your estimated total cost.

Eight-Week Savings is how much less you paid than if your circuits had run at full speed the whole time. Savings Rate shows those savings as a share of what you would have spent. The chart breaks it down by week. Blue bars are the estimated cost, and green bars are the estimated savings.

Each label along the bottom is the start of that week. Hover over any week to see the exact amounts. A taller week usually means more scheduled events ran at higher speeds, like a busy product launch. These are estimates.

Apptifi works them out from every speed change it makes on your scheduled circuits, using Lumen's pricing for each speed. Savings are the difference between always running at your maximum bandwidth and the schedule you actually ran. Use the refresh button to update the chart. If you haven't turned on scheduling for any circuit yet, this page tells you there's no cost data, so start by enabling scheduling in the Inventory tab.

That's the Costs tab: your spend, your savings, and the week-by-week story behind them. Next, the Reports tab gives you a closer look at each circuit.
