Caching
Cached dashboards use prepared data so users do not need to load large datasets live every time they open a dashboard.
User-Facing Behavior
Section titled “User-Facing Behavior”Users see a Cached Data badge when a dashboard is using cached data. They can use the refresh icon next to the badge to request updated cache data.
A refresh may take time because NimbusDash prepares the data in the background.
When To Recommend Caching
Section titled “When To Recommend Caching”Caching is useful when:
- A saved search or query returns many rows.
- Live loading is slow.
- Multiple users open the same dashboard frequently.
- Users see partial-data messages in live mode.
Operational Checks
Section titled “Operational Checks”If cached data does not refresh as expected, confirm:
- The cache script deployment is active.
- The account can run background processing.
- File Cabinet paths and permissions are available.
- The dashboard was saved with Use Cached Data enabled.
- The user has permission to refresh or view the dashboard.
