FOCUS column

AllocatedResourceName

The display name of the resource a provider-allocated charge was attributed to, paired with AllocatedResourceId, so a provider-split share can be read without decoding an identifier. Consult the specification for the normative definition of this later-release column.

Example

The provider-split load balancer share shows the receiving service’s name here alongside its id.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds AllocatedResourceName in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.
