MicroStrategy ONE
Answering Prompts and Refreshing Data
Your analysis of data can only be as accurate as the results displayed in a report. In many instances, you will want to have the most recent information from your data source displayed on your reports. In this case, if you execute a report multiple times, you probably want to be sure the query is submitted through your data source each time so you know you are seeing results based on the latest data available.
At other times, you simply need to see the same report you looked at before — you do not care whether the data is up-to-the-minute. In this case, MicroStrategy provides caching so you can retrieve report results as quickly as possible without submitting the request through your data source again.
This section discusses report caches, as well as various methods of refreshing a report's data.
