Report Storage & PDF Security

When Report Storage & PDF Security is enabled, managers can check the maximum report size assigned to each user, as well as the statistics on the current size of reports and the free space available for the subscription. The Report Storage also provides the ability to clear the report cache of the used reports when there is an issue with the report share disk storage. Used reports are reports that are created or deleted by the users in your subscription but have not yet expired. The report cache can be cleared by using the Clear Report Cache. Managers can also enable Encrypt PDF Reports.
