Include allocation tag or bm values in rightsize reports

Current rightsizing reports rely heavily on the use of view filters to isolate and identify the workload represented. I've worked for a couple of organizations as a FinOps expert and when I meet with teams it is not to look at one workload at a time, hundreds of times. It's to look at the group, team, department, etc.

The tabular reports showing the list of opportunities for each service show the resource identifiers, but not the allocation tag we use or the mapped values that have the names of the applications, support teams, and other vital pieces of information that are important enough to be included in that report. Having to export into excel or constantly look up "what server does this support" is a tedious and unnecessary step. All that data is already in Cloudability, I just can't see it where I need it most.

Providing an ability for customers to configure some things in their preferences such as what business mappings or tag values to include in those reports would greatly improve usability and engagement.
