# Configure team as an attribution label

In this milestone, you configure `team` as an attribution label in Cost Management and Billing. Grafana Cloud then attributes the cost of your metrics to each `team`.

Keep the following in mind as you configure the label:

- Attribution is configured for each stack. Repeat the steps for every stack you want to report on.
- Attribution starts when you save the label. Grafana Cloud doesn’t attribute earlier usage.
- You can configure up to 2 labels, and their combined cardinality can’t exceed 1,000 unique combinations.
- If you already have a primary label, `team` becomes your secondary label.
- Telemetry without the `team` label is classified as unattributed.

To configure the attribution label, complete the following steps:

1. Go to **Cost Management and Billing**.
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
3. Under **Telemetry attribution**, click **Configure an attribution label**. If you already have an attribution label, click **Select another attribution label** instead.
   
   In the panel that opens:
   
   1. In **Select Metrics Key**, select `team`. Grafana Cloud suggests matching keys for logs and traces.
   2. Review the suggested logs and traces keys, and the **Label Name**. The label name is a display name in Cost Management and Billing reports. It’s not a label on your telemetry.
   3. Click the save button at the bottom of the panel. For your first label, the button reads **Save Primary Label**.
4. Confirm that `team` is listed under **Telemetry attribution** as your primary or secondary label.

You configured `team` as an attribution label. Attribution reports can take up to 24 hours to appear after you save the label.

In the next milestone, you review cost by team.
