Two options in the User and Group properties dialog boxes let administrators edit user profiles to set caching behavior. These options automate refreshing and clearing the local cache on designated folders.
For example, if you store SolidWorks Design Library folders in the vault, to ensure that users always have the latest version of these files, you can specify that when users log in, the cache is automatically refreshed for these folders.
The Cache Options page of the user and group properties dialog boxes contains the following options:
|
Clear cache during logout
|
Automatically clears the local cache upon logout. This removes unneeded files, reduces the cache size, and increases security on machines used by multiple users. When users logs out, Enterprise PDM clears the cache of any folders with this setting using an automated version of the Clear Local Cache command.
The cache is also cleared when users select to work offline or when users shut down their computers without logging out.

|
Refresh cache during login
|
Ensures that users have the latest version of items like CAD file templates and standard libraries each time they log in. When users log in, for every folder with this setting, Enterprise PDM performs an automated version of the Get Latest command. Enterprise PDM updates older versions of files in the user's cache and uploads the latest version of files that are not in the user's cache.

Administrators can set cache options for individual users or for groups. When users are part of a group for which cache options have been set, the group settings are reflected in the users' properties.
