Sample content storage report
If you delete an item
after you run a report, the item still appears in the report. However, the
amount of storage space the deleted item used is listed using red font. When you
run a new report, the item will no longer appear in the list. Also, only a
report’s owner (the person who created it) or a user with administrator
privileges can delete a saved report.
The Report Cache Timeout setting does
not apply to Content Storage reports. For more information, see “Update report
settings” in the Mediasite Configuration Guide. For more information on
