Cache inputs

We need to incorporate advanced date calculations into our workflow, which may necessitate multiple iterations. While we value the enhancements made previously, we aim to further accelerate development, as these complex calculations demand more test runs, making every second crucial!

In Alteryx, the caching option allows you to save the output of a specific tool or point in your workflow so that when you make changes downstream, Alteryx doesn't need to re-run the entire workflow from the beginning. Instead, it can use the cached data to quickly recalculate the results of the modified portion of the workflow.

If you lost progress, load the workbook 4_3_cache_inputs.xymd from the Workbooks folder on the Desktop.
