## Total counts
|
|
|

At the top of the page, Usage Trends shows total counts for:
|
|
|
|
- Users
|
|
- Projects
|
|
- Groups
|
|
- Issues
|
|
- Merge Requests

|

These figures can be useful for understanding how much data your instance contains in total.
|

|
## Past year trend charts
|
|
|
|
Usage Trends also displays line charts that show total counts per month, over the past 12 months,
|
|

These charts help you visualize how rapidly these records are being created on your instance.
