Clear Cache

Click to clear various data caches maintained by the Syniti Construct from the time of its last startup. These caches exist to aid performance, but can become “stale” due to errors or database operations that can cause issues, such as newly created views not showing up in page design lists or new WebApps not showing up on the Site menu. These issues are often stale cache problems that can be fixed by using the Clear Cache button, which avoids the need to restart the Syniti Construct or obtain additional assistance.
