Summary Tab

In the Summary tab, you can see the overall size of your database and the distribution of data by type. You can also see how data size has changed over time. This is where you can also see when the information was last updated and refresh it manually.

The overall breakdown of your data can give you a good sense of the health of your database. Typically, application data takes up the majority of your database size. This is your transactional data, which makes up your records, payments, etc. When the application data portion of your database is smaller, that can indicate that you have an opportunity to reduce the size of other types of data, such as audit tables and business process output history.

Below is an example of what is likely a healthy database, where the application data makes up the overwhelming majority of the data.

In contrast, below is an example of a database where the application data, while still the largest portion, is not taking up as much of the total database size. In this example, business process history and audit tables make up a large portion of the database. It is likely that there is an opportunity to clean up some of that data to optimize space usage in this example.

To drill into the details of each type of data, you can navigate the different tabs on this page or select any portion of the pie chart to see details about that data category.
