FACT-Finder Cache

Enable caching to minimise search times and system load by buffering search results. Within the System menu, the Cache page provides information on cache usage and allows you to empty the cache manually, if necessary.

If the cache is not emptied during the course of the day by an import or by manually triggering the Empty Cache function, it is automatically emptied by FACT-Finder between 0:00 and 6:00 at night.
Thus, the general lifetime of the cache is about 24 hours.

The cache can be emptied in 4 different ways.

1. automatic emptying by FACT-Finder between 0-6 o'clock.
2. manual emptying through the Cache menu item.
3. by executing an import. (The trigger of the import is irrelevant here). 4.
4. by triggering via the API. Either an import can be triggered or the cache can be emptied directly.

Some configuration changes require a manual clearing of the cache, if you want them to take effect immediately.

After changing some configuration settings it is necessary to empty the cache automatically for the changes to become effective immediately. FACT-Finder will notify you about this via the small green circle at the top left.

Click on it to display a dialogue, prompting you to start emptying the cache.
