 Determine the length of your budget and reset date using the two dropdowns under the Budget cap text box. Budgets can be either _Weekly_ or _Monthly_, and can reset on any day of the week/month. This means you don't need to recreate your budgets repeatedly and can align them with your schedules or processes.
 
 ### Workloads
 
-From the first dropdown, select whether this budget will apply to a namespace, cluster, or a label. In the second dropdown, choose the individual item in that category. When _Namespace_ or _Cluster_ has been selected, the dropdown menu should attempt to autocomplete by searching for all potential items.
+You can configure one or more workload(s) to be targeted by the budget. From the first dropdown, select the desired workload category. Once the workload category has been selected, the dropdown menu should display all possible values for that category. Select 'Add Filter' to persist your choice. You can repeat for as many workload categories as you need to. 
+There are multiple workload properties available for the Allocation, Asset and Cloud budgets. For Collection budgets, you can select one collection from the dropdown displaying all available collections. At the moment, Kubecost can only track spend for a single collection per budget.
