Hi All,
Is it possible to limit the amount of storage for users through Supervisor? For example limit each user to 10MB of personal reports saved. If not Supervisor it this possible through some other module? I researched this topic and I could not find anything.
Thanks,
Bill

Hello,
I don’t know a way to limit the storage.
I Think it’s a bad idea to limit it, because even one
report could exceed the limit.
We have reports of 10 MB in size.

Bill, I assume your asking about trying to limit storage space on a server and not a users PC. This may not be of any help but we went to pdf as our default display for WebI reports that way WebI users could save the pdf files on there PC’s and access them off-line, thus server storage capacity was never an issue.

If anyone has managed to find a walkaround for limiting the storage quota of personal documents per user, I would like to be informed as it is crucial so as users don’t end up saving documents indefinitely on the server.

The way we handled it was a quick and dirty type policy and made sure every user knew this ahead of time. We created an email distribution to be sure they knew we were doing maintenance on their documents.
We created a script like a .bat or some other dos file that looks at the documents that are older than xx days like 60 and then deletes them off the server. It doesn’t care if the user wanted them or not as it is up to the user to manage his or her files efficiently and back them up appropriately.
I would make sure the report was published to the repo, if I was a user wanting a report. That way I don’t have to have it stored anywhere but in the repo. if it isn’t mission critical, then they should be able to live without it too.
