Overview
Many organizations use Uplifter for their partial or full website, upload files to their site to share, or have end users upload files of their own for verification/records. Actions like these will take space on your account's storage and going over your maximum capacity can lead to charges. Understanding what affects your storage, how to set warnings and limits, and purge you storage can help avoid any fees.
Storage Information
You can access your organization's storage information via Settings > Uplifter Settings > Uplifter Plan.
Learn More
File & Image Storage: The maximum storage capacity of your Uplifter system before fees are incurred.
Storage Overage Charges: Information on potential charges should you surpass your storage limit.
Storage Usage: A breakdown of the files on your system that are taking up storage.
Show Warning: A field that allows you to set a specific threshold that, once the system storage usage surpasses your set value, prompts a warning message that shows at the top of the admin-side pages.
Limit Admin Features: A field that allows you to set a specific threshold that, once the system storage usage surpasses your set value, halts various admin abilities. This includes restricting the ability to upload files through the editor and halting the system caching PDFs (Gold/Enterprise feature). This does not restrict your end users from uploading files, images, etc. to custom fields.
Warn & Limit
In the Storage section you will find the ability to set a warning and a feature-limiting threshold. Both of these require you to enter a percentile value and click Save All. The value you enter must be between 1 and 100. Once your organization's storage usage meets or exceeds these thresholds they will enact.
Show Warn
Set this value to have the system show you a yellow warning when your storage usage meets or exceeds the set value.
Limit Admin Features
Set this value to have the system show you a red alert when your storage usage meets or exceeds the set value.
Further, the system will reject any attempt of an admin to upload new images or files through the editor (public or admin side). It will also halt the caching of PDFs generated by your policies (Gold/Enterprise only). Please note that this does not affect the ability for end users to upload files, images, etc. to custom fields.
Clear storage usage
As you and your team store more data on your Uplifter system there may come a time where you need to remove some items to free up some storage space. This can be done in several ways.
Content Files & Images
To clear your Content Files & Images storage please navigate to any page where the editor is accessible (public pages are easiest). Click Edit on a section and select the File Browser
. From there, move to the Images and Files tabs to view the files you have uploaded to your system. Select the Delete
icon at the top right corner of the file you wish to remove. Continue this process until you have removed any/all unwanted images and files. Lastly, please be sure to move to the Trash tab, review the listings in case there are any you wish to Restore
, then click Permanently Delete All Files In Trash to complete the process.
Message Campaign Attachments
Message attachments are not currently available to clear. However, this feature is on its way so as to offer you more control over your storage.
Custom Field Files & Images
To clear your Custom Field Files & Images storage please navigate to Settings > Global Settings > Custom Fields. Here, move through each field type (Participant, Member, Invoice, etc.) and review the custom fields therein. If there are fields you no longer use, or there are fields that you use iteratively (competition music, for example), you can clear their stored data. Click Edit next to the field and click Delete All Values Assigned To This Custom Field.
Club Policy Data
To clear your Club Policy Data storage please navigate to Settings > Policies. Here, find the policy listing in question and select the Clear Cache icon to the right of the listing.
