Strategy One

Subscribe a Dashboard, or Report to a Cache Update

Starting in Strategy One (July 2025), you can create schedules in the subscription editor.

In Strategy Workstation you can create cache subscriptions through Distribution Services. This subscription allows a reportto be run as quickly as possible using the latest available data without query the data warehouse.

Cache update subscriptions refresh the cache for a specified report or subset report. A cache is a pre-calculated and pre-processed result set that is stored in memory on the Intelligence server machine and on disk. This enables the report to be retrieved more quickly than re-executing the request against the data warehouse.
