Viewing resource usage

This guide outlines how to access the Usage Manager and view how much you are using Adverity.

Introduction

When you purchase Adverity, you also purchase a certain amount of resources as part of your contract. The Usage Manager page displays how many resources you purchased and what you currently use compared to your resource allowance. This allows you to see how much additional usage you have remaining this month, or if you need to buy more usage to fulfill reporting and data integration requirements.

The Usage Manager page measures how much you use Adverity in terms of unique data rows. If you exceed the number of unique data rows included in your contract, you may be charged additional usage fees as defined in your plan.

For more information on how Adverity calculates unique data rows, see Measuring Adverity usage with unique data rows.
