| CacheTolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
| Offline | Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source. |

| Property | Description |
| AutoDetectIndex | A boolean indicating if secondary indexes should be automatically detected based on the query used. |
| FlattenArrays | By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays. |
