Enable caching of data retrieved from this connection

Use this option to cache data from the data connection, but to refresh if the cached data is older than the specified time limit.

Yes, but let the cached data expire every [day or day of the week] at [time]

Note: If the external data source has been set up so that the data available for each user depends on who you are, then you should not allow sharing of cached data.
