Rather than creating the report each time it is run, caching stores the results for the duration specified in the '''Cache Life Span''' field.:
* The first time a report is viewed it will create it by querying the database and show live data.
* Anyone viewing the report after this, within the life span specified , will see a snapshot of the report from the cache. Changes to underlying data will '''not''' be reflected in the report during the '''Cache Life Span'''
* The report will be updated once the life span has expired, and any changes to the underlying data will then be reflected.
==IMPORTANT==
* '''Caching must NOT be enabled for reports that prompt the user for criteria.'''
* To cache Cached reports that include criteria based on the current user (i.e. '''@userid@''') must be cached by user'''Cached By User'''.* In general , sub-reports should not be cached. The parent report can be cached if appropriate.
