# Data view field cache
The browser caches data view field lists to improve performance. Caching matters most for data views with a high field count that span many indices and clusters.
In typical Kibana usage, the field list updates every few minutes. To get an updated list immediately, select **Refresh** on the data view management detail page. Clearing your browser cache has the same effect.
The field list might change after updates to indices or user privileges.
