# About the New Unit Consumption Experience (Public Preview)

> The New Unit Consumption Experience gives Organization Administrators a unified view of how consumption units are allocated and consumed across their organization. Administrators can identify consumption risks before they cause service disruptions and redistribute units between tenants - all from a single interface.

The New Unit Consumption Experience gives Organization Administrators a unified view of how consumption units are allocated and consumed across their organization. Administrators can identify consumption risks before they cause service disruptions and redistribute units between tenants - all from a single interface.

## Who uses this dashboard

| Persona | Role | Primary Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Organization Administrator | Automation Center of Excellence Lead | Ensure all business units have adequate resources; prevent service interruptions; optimize utilization across tenants; plan future capacity |

## Navigation levels

The dashboard is organized into three levels. Administrators drill down from a broad organizational view to the most granular folder view and can navigate back at any level using the breadcrumb.

![Navigation levels: Organization Level leads to Tenant Level, which leads to Folder Level. Breadcrumb navigation is available at each level to go back up.](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/automation-cloud/automation-cloud-new-unit-usage-experience-navigation-levels-738bea6e.png)

**Organization level** shows the total capacity, consumed units, allocated units across tenants, and a card for every tenant in the organization. The date range is selectable using the period picker at this level and persists as you navigate down. The unit type is determined by which **View Usage (Preview)** link you selected on the Consumables tab. Disabled tenants appear with their name and deleted tenants appear with their tenant ID. Neither can be opened, so the **Edit Allocation** option is not reachable for them.

**Tenant level** shows allocation and consumption detail for a single tenant, including service-level breakdowns, folder consumption, and a Solutions & Processes table for process-level attribution.

**Folder level** shows consumption for a single folder, including subfolders and processes.

## How to access the dashboard

During Preview, each unit type has a separate dashboard entry point from the **Consumables** tab.
1. Go to **Admin** at the organization level and select **Licenses**.
2. Select the **Consumables** tab.
3. On the unit type card you want to monitor, select **View Usage (Preview)**.

The dashboard opens pre-filtered to the selected unit type. To view a different unit type, return to the **Consumables** tab and select **View Usage (Preview)** on a different unit type card.

:::note
During Public Preview, both the **View Usage** (legacy) link and the **View Usage (Preview)** link are visible on each unit type card on the **Consumables** tab. Both links remain accessible throughout the Public Preview period.

## Unit types covered

The dashboard tracks consumption for the following unit types. The unit types visible in the new unit consumption experience depend on what your organization has purchased. Organizations that have not purchased a specific unit type will not see it on the Consumables tab.

| Unit Type | Licensing Plan |
|---|---|
| AI Units | Flex |
| Agent Units | Flex |
| Platform Units | Unified Pricing |
| [Heals](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide-ha/licensing) | Flex, Unified Pricing |
| Robot Units | Flex |
| ScreenPlay Runs | Flex, Unified Pricing |
| Test Execution Units | Unified |
| Test Heals (Test Cloud) | Unified |

## Known limitations

The following limitations apply during the Public Preview release:

* Consumption data is available starting July 2024. The dashboard queries the same historical data pipeline used by the existing AI Units monitoring, so two years of consumption history are available from day one - no data is lost during the transition from the legacy Consumables Page.
* In the **Folders** section and the **Solutions & Processes** table, data is associated with folders and processes starting from mid-April 2026. Earlier consumption data is not attributed to a specific folder or process.
* All Personal Workspaces are aggregated under a single entry named **Personal Workspaces**. Individual workspace paths are not displayed.
* A process triggered in debug mode without deploying to a personal workspace does not appear in the **Solutions & Processes** table.
* The following services do not yet send job or folder data: Autopilot, Test Manager, AI Center, IXP(partial), Context Grounding, Document Understanding (partial), and Integration Service. Consumption from those services appears at the tenant level but is not attributed to a folder or process.
* Integration Services reports consumption in increments of 2 Platform Units. A single activity may incur 2 units. Subsequent activities may incur 0.
* The Orchestrator folder structure refreshes every 5 minutes for most organizations and every 60 minutes for organizations with more than 100 folders. This might lead to a delay before new folders are visible in the dashboard.
