To view a breakdown of your SIMS Disk Usage, click on the Details link.
After clicking Details, the Detailed Disk Usage will be displayed.
File Storage:
Depending on your SIMS package, the amount of space available here will be different. In this example, we have the SIMS SIlver package, which allocates you 2000 MB of Disk Space. In the image to the right, 2% of this 2000 MB has been used. If you are nearing 100% usage, you may wish to contact us to increase your Disk Space allocation.
Images:
This percentage bar displays the amount of space used by images or photos that are stored on your website. (ie: .jpg, .gif, .bmp or .png files)
Documents:
This percentage bar displays the amount of space used by documents that are stored on your website. (ie: ,doc, .pdf, .xls or .rtf files)
Templates:
This percentage bar displays the amount of space used by templates that are stored on your website. A template is a content layout sample. For example, if you are a Realtor, and want all listings laid out in the same way, you would use a template to provide this consistency. Generally, Sencia provides templates to clients upon request for a nominal fee.
