Refresh Dialog Cache

The "Refresh Dialog Cache" option is specifically designed for users working with custom user dialogs installed via the BioStat Prime Marketplace.

When you install a custom dialog from the marketplace and make modifications to it, you typically click the "Reload Dialog" button in the Marketplace to apply the updated changes in the application interface.

However, there may be situations where the "Reload Dialog" alone does not fully reflect the updated dialog in the UI. In such cases, you should also click the "Refresh Dialog Cache" icon. This will forcefully reload the updated dialog and ensure that the latest version is rendered in the software.

Recommended Usage

During cycles of editing, reloading, and testing custom dialogs, follow these steps:

1. Make changes to the dialog.

2. Click "Reload Dialog" in the Marketplace.

3. If changes are not reflected immediately, click "Refresh Dialog Cache" to force an update.

When the app is installed, an offline version of the Help Guide (in PDF format) is available. Users can simply click the Help icon from the main dialog window to open this offline help document.

Updating Offline Help

To ensure you’re always working with the latest information, the "Update Help" option is available within the app. Whenever you are connected to the internet, clicking this option will download and replace the current help PDF with the most recent version.

This is useful if new features or updates have been released and reflected in the documentation.
