Reporting includes administrator settings that allow Confluence administrators to set the default duration for caching and the default size limits for reporting results and query results.

Here's how to access these settings:

1. As an administrator, select **Administration **( ⚙️ )** **>** Manage apps**.

> ℹ️ If you are using an earlier version of Reporting, you can use this configuration URL:  
> ℹ️ `<confluence-base-url>/admin/plugins/reporting/config/viewObjectLimit.action`

2. In the left sidebar, scroll down to the *Reporting configuration *section and select **Configuration**.
3. On the *Reporting configuration* page, configure the following settings.

| **#** | **Configuration** | **Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Report caching | - The default is **Disabled** (no caching).
- You can enable caching with a specified number of hours. Thus, the cached report is stored for that number of hours. A reasonable duration would be 24.0 hours.  
After this time has passed, the cache is cleared. As a system administrator, you can click the **Flush cache** to manually clear the cache.  
When the report page is accessed again, a new report is generated and will be cached again.<br>> ✅ If you have reports with more than 100 results, you can get significant performance improvements by enabling this feature.<br>For more details on caching configuration, see [Understanding report caching](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REPS/pages/472911884). |
| 2 | Result size limit | - The default is **Disabled**, which allows Reporting to process any number of report items.
- You can set the size limit for Reporting results. For example, 200 results would be a reasonable number. |
| 3 | Query size limit | - The default is **Disabled**, which will return any number of query results.
- You can set the size limit for query results. For example, 2000 results would be a reasonable number. |

> ⚠️ All settings are **Disabled**  by default. If you have a large number of Reporting results or query results, this may cause a negative impact on Confluence performance.

4. Click **Save**.
