SuperNodes and caching

From within a SuperNode, all nodes except terminal nodes can be cached. Caching is controlled by right-clicking a node and choosing one of several options from the Cache context menu. This menu option is available both from outside a SuperNode and for the nodes encapsulated within a SuperNode.

There are several guidelines for SuperNode caches:

• If any of the nodes encapsulated in a SuperNode have caching enabled, the SuperNode will also.
• Disabling the cache on a SuperNode disables the cache for all encapsulated nodes.
• Enabling caching on a SuperNode actually enables the cache on the last cacheable subnode. In other words, if the last subnode is a Select node, the cache will be enabled for that Select node. If the last subnode is a terminal node (which does not allow caching), the next node upstream that supports caching will be enabled.
• Once you have set caches for the subnodes of a SuperNode, any activities upstream from the cached node, such as adding or editing nodes, will flush the caches.
