Flexcards often load data from the Platform Cache rather than the database when viewed on record or community pages. Developers must use designer tools to determine if displayed data is stale due to caching or if a data source error is preventing retrieval.

Core information
  • Flexcards load custom labels and profile data from the VlocityMetadata partition of the Platform Cache when the card is active.
More details and nuances
  • Updates to Flexcard configurations may take 15–20 minutes to appear even after clearing your cache.
