# MAP Manager

> Track and tag AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) resources to maximize your credits.

**MAP Manager** helps you track and tag resources for your [AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)](https://www.nops.io/aws-map/) contracts. Getting AWS MAP credits depends on tagging migrated resources correctly and as early as possible—MAP Manager centralizes that tracking and tagging so you don't lose out on earned benefits.

## Get started

1. Sign in to [nOps](https://clara.nops.io/dashboard).
2. In the sidebar, open **Inform → MAP Manager**, or go to [clara.nops.io/map-manager](https://clara.nops.io/map-manager).
3. Click **Create MAP Project** to register a MAP migration contract, or open an existing project to track and tag its resources.

## Key features

### AWS MAP Projects Summary

The landing page shows:

* **MAP Tagged Spend** and **Benefits Realized** summary cards.
* **Current MAP Status** — a bar chart comparing tagged vs. untagged resource spend.
* **List of MAP Contracts** — every MAP project you've created, with actions to open, edit, or delete.

### Creating a MAP project

Click **Create MAP Project** and fill in:

| **Credit %** (Standard MAP)   | Your discount percentage for standard MAP resources.                                                                                         |

| **Windows optimization**      | Yes/No, if your contract includes this incentive.                                                                                            |
| **MAP Optimizations**         | Additional entity types your contract covers (for example, Commercial DB\&A or Private Equity), each with its own Credit % and tag settings. |
| **Filter Selection**          | Optionally scope the project to specific AWS accounts, regions, or AWS services. Leave blank to include all.                                 |

Creating a project only registers what to track—it doesn't tag any resources for you.

### Project detail

Opening a project shows:

* **View By** — switch between **Standard** and any additional entity types enabled for the project (for example, Windows Optimization).
* **MAP Tracker** — a table of your incentive credits over the migration period.
* **Current QTD Tagging Status** — a bar chart of tagged vs. untagged resource spend for the current quarter.
* **List of Resources** — every resource tied to the project, grouped by AWS service.

### Tagging resources

To tag untagged resources for MAP credit:

1. In **List of Resources**, use the **Tagged / Untagged** toggle to view untagged resources, and filter by account or region if needed.
2. Expand a service to see individual resources, and select the ones you want to tag.
3. Click **Add Migration Tag**, then **Tag Now** for the account/region group you want to tag.
4. Confirm **Yes, tag resources**—this opens **AWS Systems Manager** in a new browser tab (or multiple tabs for large batches) with the tag key, value, and resource ARN pre-filled.

Tagging happens in AWS, not automatically in nOps—you'll need access to the account and permission to use Systems Manager to complete the tag. Once tagged in AWS, it takes about a day for nOps to reflect the change.

Use **Download CSV** to export the current list of resources (tagged or untagged) for offline review.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does creating a MAP project automatically tag resources?">
    No. Creating a project only registers what to track. You tag resources yourself from the project's **List of Resources**, which redirects you to AWS Systems Manager to apply the tag.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why don't the numbers in nOps match AWS?">
    Check that your map-migrated tag key is set as an active Cost Allocation Tag, confirm the tagging dates line up, and use Explorer's tag filters to verify the tag was actually applied.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What permissions do I need to tag resources?">
    You need access to the AWS account the resources reside in, plus permission to use AWS Systems Manager to tag them. Ask your AWS admin if you're missing access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long after tagging in AWS does nOps update?">
    Typically about a day after you tag a resource in AWS, the change is reflected in MAP Manager.
  </Accordion>
