Caching and page-by, selectors, and widgets

By default, a cache is not created for every page-by combination that can be run, since that can use much of the memory allocated to caches. For example, for a document paged by Region, a separate cache would be created for each region.

You may want to create a cache for the region that is used most frequently, or for the default region. The Create cache when page-by selections are modified setting allows you to do this. When this check box is selected, caches are also created when a different item is chosen in a selector or when a user interacts with a widget.

To use document caching in this way, you:

  1. Enable page-by caching before executing the document.

  2. Select the page, item, or widget view that you want to cache.

  3. Disable page-by caching.

Detailed instructions follow.
