This Example lab demonstrates how to cache the results of a Sub Flow.

---

## Explanation

This main Flow uses the Cache function to return a randomly selected list of names and a default name. Select the "Get List of Random Names and Select Default Name" Sub Flow and scroll down to the "Outcomes" section to see the cache options. In this use case, Caching happens on a per-user basis, and will only be refreshed every five minutes. Open the debugger and run this main Flow multiple times in a row to see the same names every time, even though the Sub Flow actually generates random names every time it is run.
