Data
The Data section is where you can connect your map layers to their Data Sources to make them dynamic.
Layer Cache
When you connect your map to a PostGIS Data Source, you have the option of caching layers for better performance.
By default, cache is disabled.
You can enable caching on a per Layer basis by specifying the cache interval.
When set, this is the interval at which your map will check the database for updates.
If you have enabled cache and wish to clear it, you can do so by clicking the Clear Cache icon on the Map page:
