Cache Definitions

Overview

Cache Steps are the primary way a user will use caches in Decisions. The primary function of the cache is to store data temporarily for quicker access in the future. Cache storage is commonly used in scenarios where data results from an external system need to be stored in a location that the data will not be frequently edited (e.g. Data received from REST API Calls or via an External Database, etc). Another scenario where Cache Steps are recommended is when a user is fetching data from Flow A to use in Flow B.

Example

1. To create a new Cache Definition navigate to System > Administration > Cache.

   Cached data is stored in the App Server Memory and only meant to be temporary.

2. In the top action panel select ADD. The resulting drop down component allows the user to add a new CacheDefinition.

   

Below is a definition table to help provide information on the different Cache types.
