Example: View and analyze the cost-effectiveness of an automation run

Hannah, a catalog administrator, wants to calculate the monthly cost savings as a result of this automation. She clicks the Hourly Rate in $ field to enter the hourly rate for an agent and filters the data for the last 30 days to obtain the cost savings per service request.
