Rubiscape allows you to create a Cache Calculated Column in the dashboard. It has similar functionality as the Calculated Column. While creating a Cache Calculated Column, a cache file is generated. After every update in the source file or calculated column, this cache file will get updated.
To add a Cache Calculated Column, follow the steps given below:

  1. Open the Dashboard in edit mode. Refer to Editing a Dashboard.
    The dashboard is displayed.
  2. Add a dataset to the dashboard. Refer to Adding Dataset in RubiSight.
  3. In the DATA pane, click the ellipsis corresponding to the dataset and click "Add Cache Calculated Column".



  4. Add Cache Calculated Column screen is shown.
  5. Enter the Calculated Column Name.
  6. Select the Variable Type from the drop-down. This step is optional. If you do not select the variable type, the system defines it with the click of Validate.
  7. In the Expression Code Editor window, enter the desired expression.
  8. Once the expression is ready, validate the expression. Click Validate.
  9. To add the new cache calculated column, Click Add.



    The new cache calculated column is added to the dashboard and is displayed in the list with a symbol.

Notes

  • If you select the "Disable Cache" option while creating the dataset, the "Add Cache Calculated Column" option will not be available in the dashboard.
  • If you select the "Enable Direct Query" option, the "Add Cached Calculated Column" option will not be available for the respective dataset in the dashboard.
  • If you "Enable Direct Query" for the dataset in the dashboard or choose the "Disable Cache" option, any previously created "Cached Calculated Column" will function as a regular calculated column.
  • Whenever you make changes to the dataset, remember to refresh the dashboard so that the "Cache Calculated Column" gets updated accordingly.
  • The "Cache Calculated Column" will be updated once you use the "Refresh Cache" node in your workflow for the relevant dataset.
