new guardrails for large sized story

[chandler_brown]

While reviewing the release notes, we noticed that there are new guardrails for large sized story reports (FPA00-62813) that states: A size limit of 90 MB is introduced to prevent designers from creating large stories.

However, we do not see a way to check the size of the stories. Is there a way to check the size of a story? We could not find a KBA, and have searched through our system overview dashboard in SAC to no avail.

Hi @chandler_brown , 

This size is not related to story definition (datasource or widgets used) it is based on the media used in the report. Like company logos, images, clock and so on. 

So, unless there are many multimedia files in your Story design, you will not face this guardrail.

Also, while there is no tool that displays the current size of the Story, it does show a warning when a Story exceeds 60MB of memory. This will help you compress the Story size by removing unwanted images or any other media that is part of Story design.

Example:
