 The decimal eRT app uses calculation data caching to improve the user experience by loading results from disk rather than recomputing on demand. The calculation disk cache files are comprised of proprietary compressed binary files that represent a completed calculation result. Storing and using the cached calculations results in speedier load times of patient/plan data, beam dose, and hardware devices without having to utilize the processing power of the computer each time a plan is opened. If a calculation result is not found in the calculation cache, the calculation will be performed and the results stored in the cache. The calculation cache is comprised of a local disk cache and an optional network cache (refer to <imgref data_caching>).  The decimal eRT app uses calculation data caching to improve the user experience by loading results from disk rather than recomputing on demand.

-Using the local cache allows for the caching of calculation results to the individual user’s workstation and the network cache allows users to share calculation results among all users using the centralized patient database (e.g.: user 1 saves a plan and user 2 opens the plan on a different computer; by saving to the network cache, user 2 automatically loads in user 1’s results without having to recompute them). Reading data from the local cache allows for the fastest data load time for the end user.

 When decimal eRT is launched from the decimal Launcher, decimal eRT is given an JWT authentication token for the logged in user. This token is used to authenticate and perform [[https://direct.dotdecimal.com|decimal Direct API]] requests. This JWT token is issued by decimal Direct and Auth0 and has a built in expiration. When this token expires the user will be logged out of the application and be forced to re-authenticate and relaunch the application using the decimal Launcher.

 decimal eRT has a built in inactivity timeout that will automatically log the user out if no mouse/keyboard activity has occurred. The timeout setting can be changed in the [[electronrt:userguide:tutorials:app_settings#app_settings|decimal eRT application settings]]. Idle workstation locking at the OS level is also recommended for all workstations with access to decimal eRT. While there are inactivity and session timeouts built into the application, workstation idle locking will further protect the system from unauthorized access in-between session timeouts. decimal eRT has a built in inactivity timeout that will automatically log the user out if no mouse/keyboard activity has occurred.
