Use the Put In Cache using Generated Key step to place some value in memory for a defined time while letting Decisions create a Key to reference the cache. Cache Instance Name can be any name you want to associate with this cache. Cache Type Name can be the default Decisions cache or a custom cache found under System > Administration > Cache. The Key will be the key by which this cache will be accessible. Value is the data that will be stored.
In later versions of Decisions the Cache Name and Definition are set at the Project level.
