Modules options

These options determine how many module forms are cached.

For example, setting the Parties Startup option to 3 will mean that three Parties forms are loaded and hidden (for fast retrieval), each time you log in to EMu. This is beneficial wherever a slow connection exists but should only be chosen on a computer that has a large amount of RAM.

The Maximum option sets the maximum number of forms that can be cached at any one time. For example, if the Parties number is set to 5, each time you close the Parties module a form will be cached until there are 5 cached. Thereafter, forms will be discarded.

For example, Startup is set to 3 and Maximum is set to 5:

• If you have 3 Parties modules open and open a 4th, a new form will be loaded (there are no more in cache).
• If you close one of the Parties module, it will be added to the cache rather than closed. When next you open a Parties module the cached form will be loaded.
• If 4 Parties modules are open and you open a 5th, a new form will be loaded (and it would be added to cache when you close it).
• If you have 5 Parties modules open and open a 6th, when you close the 6th it will not be added to the cache.

To change module caching options for a module:

1. Select a module in the Module column.
2. Click Change.

To empty the module cache, click Clear Cache.

Tip: See How switching groups affects module caching for details about how EMu manages module caching when users switch between groups.
