Colors and arrows represent changes:
- An increase displays in green with an arrow pointing up.
- A decrease displays in red with an arrow pointing down.
- If there was no change from the previous period, the text is gray with an empty circle instead of an arrow.
- Percentage up or down is in bold text to the right of the arrow or empty circle.
- Information in gray text beneath the percentage up or down indicates the total date range covered minus any time remaining in the current period. For example, if you select Last 7 days as the reporting period and the current date is part of the past seven days, the past 13 days’ information is displayed.

How Metrics Are Calculated
| Metric | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Total of stored objects’ sizes | No calculation. Data provided by EdgeQuery. |
| Unique objects | Total number of objects minus copies. |
| Peak storage | No calculation. Data provided by EdgeQuery. |
Summary Area - Percentage Up and Down
The up or down change for a given metric is calculated by comparing the metric from the previous period to the metric from the current period.
| Comparison Results | Metric Presentation |
|---|---|
| Selected time period value equals previous time period. | Presented as no change. |
| Previous period value is smaller than current period. | Presented as up from previous period. See also Percentage Calculation. |
| Previous period value is greater than current period. | Presented as down from previous period. See also Percentage Calculation. |
Percentage Calculation
The ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ presentations include a percentage.
Percentage = ((newValue - oldValue) / oldValue) * HUNDRED_PERCENT
