# Refreshing Field and Prompt Caches

New fields and prompts may not appear immediately because Slate caches form and import destinations to improve performance. In production environments, cached values refresh approximately every 5 minutes.

To make new fields and prompts available right away, force-refresh the field cache, prompt cache, and Configurable Joins library. Refreshing all three is sometimes called "refreshing the triad."

## Refresh the field and prompt caches

1. From the main navigation, select **Database.**
2. Under Records and Datasets, select **Prompts.**
3. Select the link in the description on the sidebar to refresh the prompt cache. A new tab opens displaying “OK.”

4. Close the new tab to return to the previous page.
5. On the right sidebar, select Fields.
6. Select the link in the description on the sidebar to refresh the field cache. A new tab opens displaying “OK.”

7. Close the new tab.

## Refresh the Configurable Joins library

To use newly created fields and prompts in queries, you must also **refresh the Configurable Joins library**:

1. From the main navigation, select Database.
2. Under Queries, select **Refresh Configurable Joins Library.**
3. When prompted, select **OK**. ![The database page. Someone has searched for 'Refresh,' so the only option under the Queries heading is 'Refresh Configurable Joins Library.'](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/Refresh Configurable Joins Library.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-15T19%3A28%3A04Z&se=2026-10-15T20%3A28%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6N5XwYws844UiYcBjRC4pW9X%2B4MHGwBLIiofREE%2FeMY%3D)
4. When the refresh is complete, select OK again.
