Caching

The caching mode will determine how the client will re-load entries when changes are detected. On large data sources caching is a must and will increase performance significantly.

This feature is only available when using an Advanced Data Source.

If the cache is outdated, press Ctrl+F5 to refresh the local cache. This will force reading from the database to recreate the cache.

Settings

The Caching mode option can be accessed via File – Data Sources – Edit Data Source – Advanced in an advanced data source.
