# viewstates.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. You must restart Splunk
# to enable configurations.

GLOBAL SETTINGS

# Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
#  * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top
#    of the file.
#  * Each conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are
#    multiple default stanzas, attributes are combined. In the case of
#    multiple definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the
#    file wins.
#  * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific
#    stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.

[<view_name>:<viewstate_id>]

* Auto-generated persistence stanza label that corresponds to UI views
* The <view_name> is the URI name (not label) of the view to persist
* if <view_name> = "*", then this viewstate is considered to be 'global'
* The <viewstate_id> is the unique identifier assigned to this set of
  parameters
* <viewstate_id> = '_current' is a reserved name for normal view
  'sticky state'
* <viewstate_id> = '_empty' is a reserved name for no persistence,
  i.e., all defaults

<module_id>.<setting_name> = <string>
* The <module_id> is the runtime id of the UI module requesting persistence
* The <setting_name> is the setting designated by <module_id> to persist
