1.2 Data cache 

Set Data cache expiration and CDP cache generating (here you can refresh cache manually whenever you need to).

In some cases, you may want to refresh the cache manually (Refresh Cache button). For example, if you wish to have the most up to date data as soon as possible. Also, certain updates will be visible only after the data cache (change of customer mandatory attributes, change data sources in the Diagnostic Dashboard). You can wait for the data to be refreshed automatically or drive manual refresh.
