Introduced in 1.3 Release is the ability for site Administrators to track digital object storage per repository. Storage limits may be placed on individual repositories by in-house server capacity or on hosted server agreements. If you are utilizing a multi-institutional / portal instance of ICA-AtoM you will need to check with the site Administrator to learn the digital object storage limitations.
  
The following notes aim only to clarify ICA-AtoM procedures; for guidelines on what information to record in particular fields, consult [[RS-3|ISDIAH]] as the content standard. The notes are organized by [[Field|field]], with links to the applicable [[RS-3|ISDIAH]] section(s).
