Use folder content caching

The Use folder content caching site preference enables or disables folder content caching in Workplace. The default setting is Yes, which keeps the folder content information stored in cache.

The folder content data can be stored in cache to improve performance. Data from the Content Engine server on the contents of a specific folder in the application is retrieved when a user first accesses the folder from the Browse view in a current application session. When the user navigates away from the folder and later returns to view the folder, the data is pulled from cache rather than from a fresh call to the Content Engine server. Any changes to the folder that were made by another user or another application are not displayed, and thus the end user will not see newly added subfolders, documents, or custom objects.

The folder cache is initially stored when the user first opens a folder when browsing. When caching is enabled, the cache is updated automatically in these cases:

The folder cache is automatically cleared when the user logs out of the application.

If the Use folder content caching preference is set to No, fresh data is retrieved from the Content Engine server each time that the user browses that folder during a session. For folders that contain a large number of items, retrieval and display of the information might be slow.
