A client's request for hierarchical data, covering '''two or more hierarchy''' levels, will be handled using the cached data. Any request covering only one hierarchy level will by-pass the view cache and be treated directly. For example, browsing through the objects using the [[Content Browser]] does not use the View Cache, whereas preparing the [[HowTo:Switch_to_Offline_Mode|Offline Mode]] utilizes the cache to improve performance.
Once the cache has been initialized, its status and additional information can be retrieved by [[#Web Service Interface|web service methods]].
{{Attention|Up to now the View Cache needs to be initialized and updated manually after every (re)start of the web service, due to a missing automatism!}}
