Settings Cache

What's this cache for?

To improve the performance of the application, FlowWright caches some of the configuration information. Any changes to the configuration will automatically clear the cache and will rebuild itself. The contents of the cache can be downloaded or cleared using the buttons.

How often should we clear the cache?

We advise not to clear the cache unless it’s required - for e.g. when the process step does not reflect the new changes updated through the patch release.

Any performance issues on the user side?

The settings cache is used when the application runs for the first time. As such, there are no performance issues on the user side.

Master Script (for Form Widgets)

We advise to update the master scripts file once, after every patch release update. The event scripts configured for form control stays updated by this action.
