Define a Volumetrics Report

You can use the Report tab in the Volumetrics dialog to report on the database by physical objects, database objects, or tables according to your table settings. You can report on the initial size or projected future database size based on your estimated monthly row (record) growth. You can save your report externally as a CSV file.
