#: '''Developer''' optimises the model for development. | #: '''Developer''' optimises the model for development. For periods of up to 8 hours, the last cached data is returned. The benefit of this Archive type is that it makes refreshes faster but the downside is your not always retrieving the latest data. This is the default when creating a model.
