AWS Billing - Account Name	Populates an Account name lookup file, account_name.csv, so that the app dashboards can display friendly names for the account IDs in your billing reports.	This saved search runs automatically the first time that a user access one of the four dashboards that contain billing data. If you have a large amount of data, this search may take up to a minute to fully populate the lookup file with the friendly names that correspond to the account IDs in the reports. After the lookup generation is complete, the dashboard prompts you to reload the page to display your friendly account names. This search is not scheduled, so after it runs the first time the lookup is not updated again. If, in future months, your billing reports include additional accounts, you may want to rerun the saved search manually to capture the new friendly names for those accounts.
