Views are a cornerstone of Tailwarden, enabling you to group your infrastructure into meaningful blocks such as product, team, or environment.


How to create a view

To create a view, navigate to the inventory and apply filters (learn how to use filters here). Save the filtered resources as a view by choosing a name, icon, and visibility (private or team). Easily adjust settings later.

You can then access your list of views on the left hand side of the inventory.

Views play a crucial role in various Tailwarden features, from setting up alerts and digests to filtering cost reports and establishing policies.
