Number of document and effective documents inconsistency

Hi ​@Michel L 

This difference is expected, and it happens because Admin Panel, Usage Data and Compliance Discovery might use different counting logic and data scopes is what i sense out of this article

Welcome to the Lucid admin panel – Lucid

It doesn’t itself explain the difference in how document counts are calculated — but it does establish that these two metrics come from different features.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Ok thanks.

Even if counting logic is different, there must be a way to know why I cannot control the counting method to know how much documents I have in my subscription.

It’s very confusing.

​@Michel L  as I understand it, files that are in peoples personal content are not searchable, but maybe being counted by one of these mechanisms

Just to alert you about that.
for an administator with all the roles.

Using Usage Data  Total documents :                               231

Using compliance discover with created “Last 3 years” : 525

Using compliance discover with created Last 3 years location “Deleted documents only” : 301

(remark: Total documents + deleted = 231 + 301 = 532)

Rest API “api.lucid.co/documents/search” :                    613

Where is the truth?

Regards.
