Configuring an Instance for iView Report Caching

Important: This feature requires a configured caching provider. To find out if a caching provider is configured, see the Caching Solution option on the Installation Settings > General tab in the Archer Control Panel.

Caching optimizes performance by avoiding regeneration of search results every time a user opens a workspace or dashboard containing Report iViews. Instead, Report iViews display stored search results when they open within the cache duration. Users can manually update search results for a Report iView at any time with the Refresh option.

When iView caching is disabled, search results are regenerated every time a user opens a dashboard or workspace containing the Report iViews.

Note: When you change the cache duration for Report iViews, the change may not take effect immediately. Stop and restart the Cache Service on the caching server to reset caching to the latest saved settings.
