## Salesforce Tab

Analyze your Salesforce data changes using the **Salesforce** tab to track data growth trends and identify areas for improvement. This section includes charts that display how your data fluctuates over time, as well as the size and number of records stored in your backups.

{% step %}

### Growth and Data Trends

The **Growth Trends** chart illustrates your backup sizes, while the **Data Trends** chart shows the number of records **Added**, **Changed**, and **Deleted** over time. By default, data from the past 7 days is shown, but you can extend the view to the last 12 months.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/bD38RQ4zKGrhrw9W0xJ3" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Data Lifecycle

The **Data Lifecycle** chart illustrates the flow of records in your Flosum backup and its evolution over time. This chart shows which objects have been added, updated, or deleted, along with the number of records involved, as they are backed up. By default, data from the past 7 days is shown, but you can extend the view to the last 12 months.

{% hint style="info" %}
The chart can be rearranged by clicking and dragging a tag to any place on the chart.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Storage

The **Storage** chart enables you to visualize the size and number of records in your data by using the **Size** and **Records** toggle. You can view the data in two types of charts:&#x20;

* **Sunburst** - A hierarchical visualization of objects.
* **Treemap** - A block-style distribution of objects, helpful in identifying the most significant objects in your backup.

* Use object visualizations to identify high-growth or obsolete objects.
* Regularly export metrics for compliance or governance reviews
