-**What are Dynamic Perspective Reports?**
-
-Dynamic Perspective Reports are a new capability that allows you to generate, schedule, and manage cost reports directly from your Perspectives. Create reports from your perspectives to bookmark specific filter and grouping configurations. No need to rebuild the same view repeatedly just save it once and access it anytime. Reports dynamically include all relevant data columns based on your selected grouping criteria and filters. This ensures consistency between your interactive perspective view and exported reports.

+### Dynamic Cost Categories Toggle
+**Feature Flag Name: `CCM_COST_CATEGORY_STAMPED_DATA`**
+
+<DocImage  path={require('./static/dynamic-toggle.png')} width="100%" height="100%" title="Click to view full size image" />
+
+The Dynamic toggle on the Perspective page gives you control over how cost category rules are applied to your cost data. It lets you balance real-time accuracy with faster performance.
+
+| Mode | Data Source | Update Frequency | Performance | Behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **Dynamic ON** | Runtime cost category rules | Immediate | ⏱️ Slower | Always applies the latest rules instantly |
+| **Dynamic OFF** | Stored cost category rules in datasets | Daily | ⚡ Faster | Uses stored rules if daily backfill job is complete.<br/>⚠️ If job is running, stored data is unavailable → Perspective switches to runtime (Dynamic ON) |
+
+#### Internal Working:
+
+<DocImage  path={require('./static/dynamic-toggle.gif')} width="100%" height="100%" title="Click to view full size image" />
+
+**If Dynamic ON (Runtime Mode):**
+- Perspectives apply **cost category rules as soon as the page loads (dynamically)**.
+- Any recent changes to cost category rules (even from a few minutes ago) are reflected immediately.
+- ⏱️ Load times may be slower since rules are processed at runtime.
+
+**If Dynamic OFF (Stored Data Mode):**
+- Harness CCM stores cost category rules in a dataset. This dataset is updated daily and updates the cost category rules for the current month. 
+- When Dynamic Toggle is OFF, Perspectives use **cost category rules from the stored dataset**.
+- This ensures ⚡ **faster performance** since stored data is used without any computations at runtime.
+- Note that if in case, CCM's daily process of updating the dataset is still running, **stored data is not available and only Dynamic ON (runtime calculation) is available** and a message will be displayed on the UI to inform.
+<DocImage  path={require('./static/updation-in-process.png')} width="90%" height="90%" title="Click to view full size image" />
+
+:::note
+**Historical Data**: CCM updates cost category rules **daily for the current month only**. For previous months with Dynamic OFF, Perspectives use the rules that existed when that month's data was ingested. To apply new rules to historical data, contact support to request a backfill.
+:::
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example explaining Dynamic Toggle</summary>
+
+Suppose you have a Cost Category called "Environment" with the following rules:
+Rule 1 → If the label = prod, assign to Production Cost Bucket
+Rule 2 → If the label = dev, assign to Development Cost Bucket
+
+At 10:05 AM, you update Rule 2 to assign dev → Engineering instead of Development.
+
+**Dynamic ON (Runtime Calculation)**
+At 10:06 AM, you open your Perspective.
+- The Perspective immediately applies the new rule, and you see costs categorized under Engineering.
+- ⏱️ It may take a bit longer to load since the rules are processed at runtime.
+- ✅ Provides immediate visibility but with potential performance impact.
+
+**Dynamic OFF (Stored/Stamped Data)**
+At 10:06 AM (Before Backfill Completes):
+- You open your Perspective.
+- Since database hasn’t completed yet, the system falls back to runtime calculation.
+- You still see costs categorized under Engineering (just like with Dynamic ON).
+- ⏱️ Performance is similar to Dynamic ON at this point.
+
+At 2:30 PM (After Backfill Completes):
+- The database updation process has now completed.
+- The Perspective uses the pre-stored cost categories that now include the Engineering rule.
+- ⚡ Loads much faster since it uses stored data.
+- ✅ Data is consistent across all historical periods.
