# Space usage (SM203525)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> You can use this window to view statistics on the use of database space by your Visma Net instance.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You can use this window to view statistics on the use of database space by your Visma Net instance.
You may need to view these statistics because your license for Visma Net includes a limit on the database space that your instance can use.

The statistics of using database space, which is displayed on this window, does not include data related to the System company.

Initially, the window displays the statistics calculated most recently and the date and time
when they were calculated.
To view the current statistics, you click **Calculate used space** on the window toolbar.

## The window toolbar
