Within your Mention account, your allotted quota is dispersed equally amongst all of your workspaces. As a Mention Administrator, you have the option of placing specific parameters on your account to ensure that your quota consumption is properly managed.

If you are using Mention with other team members, you can ensure that your colleagues do not accidentally consume all of your data in a short period of time by placing limits on quota consumption.

If you are an agency using Mention, you can use the quota parameters to properly invoice your clients that are receiving data. You have the option of adjusting the quota limits at any time depending on a client's data needs. If your clients require more quota, you can increase their data consumption and re-adjust their billing contract.

In this article, we will teach you how to configure these parameters to the workspaces in your account. Here is the agenda for today:

The quota in your Mention Account is categorized by your overall Plan Consumption and your Mentions Quota. These two quotas consume data in different ways so it is important to understand how they work.

Plan Quota is a fixed number based on your subscription and it refers to account usage in Mention. Here is a breakdown of your Mention Plan quota:

If you are a Mention Admin, you can review the Plan Consumption by opening your Account Settings and heading over to the Quota or Admin Quota tab. Here, you will see a breakdown of the Plan Consumption:

Your Mentions Quota is the number of mentions that you can receive every 30 days. Whenever you receive a mention, it will be deducted from this mentions quota. Let's say your subscription offers 10,000 mentions a month. If you receive 2,000 mentions in a day, then you have 8,000 mentions left for the remainder of your 30 day cycle.

Unlike your Plan Consumption, the Mentions Quota cannot be refunded. Once a mention is collected, it will be deducted from the quota. Please note that deleting or spamming mentions will not refund the quota. Your Quota will refresh automatically after 30 days.

If you are a Mention Admin, you can review your Mentions Quota consumption in these three ways:

Inside the Quota page, you can specify how many mentions or alerts you want to allot per workspace.

Once the page is open, you will see a list of your workspaces with the total number of mentions quota that you can receive per month.

In order to manually change the quota, please follow these steps:

Now that you understand how to manage the quota of different Workspaces, we will now teach you how to adjust the quota for each alert. This process will allow you to set limits for each alert within a Workspace and it will ensure that an alert is not over-consuming data.

--

As a Mention Administrator, you can adjust the mentions quota for your alerts after the alert is created. To do this, go to the Quota page and select the correct workspace.

--

Once you are on the correct workspace, please click on the Quota tab and select the Mentions section that appears. From there, you can select the alert you want to add a quota restriction to from the dropdown menu. Next, click add quota restriction to activate the quota slider.

You can use the slider to adjust the quota limit for each alert or writing a number in the box to set the quota limit.
