Disk usage information

Question

What is the max disk usage allowed, how is it calculated and what happens if I go over the limit?

Answer

There's no limit on storage. Large Audit Trail data will have impact on instance size, and a large tenant will impact tenant refresh when requested. The larger the size of the instance, the longer the refresh, copy, or restore will take. The primary items that effect storage are a combination of:
  • The number of years history/planning versions.
  • The use of the Audit Trail.
  • The wide use of uploading documents into Workday Adaptive Planning.
Your current disk usage can be found from Admin > General Setup. The number shown will recalculate each night there is activity in the model. By the next day, at the latest, your disk usage should update to reflect your activity from the prior day. The calculation includes customer application data plus the index size.
