Re: DHIS2 - Caching & testing

 

Actually in production, when you do a change to a data set or sections, the
form should automatically be re-downloaded to the browser. So the end user
should be unaware of this.

During development when you hack away in the db etc it's useful to clear
everything from the browser.
