The following are the spec and example files for ui-prefs.conf.

ui-prefs.conf.spec

#   Version 8.2.1
#

OVERVIEW


# This file contains descriptions of the settings that you can use to
# configure the ui for a view.
#
# There is a ui-prefs.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default directory. 
# Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory.
# The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original
# location.
#
# To set custom configurations, create a new file with the name ui-prefs.conf in
# the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/local/ directory. Then add the specific 
# settings that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
# For examples, see ui-prefs.conf.example. You must restart the Splunk instance
# to enable configuration changes.
#
# To learn more about configuration files (including file precedence) see the
# documentation located at
# http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles
#

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, settings are combined. In the case of
#     multiple definitions of the same setting, the last definition in the
#     file takes precedence.
#   * If a setting is defined at both the global level and in a specific
#     stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.

[<stanza name>]
* The name of the xml view file
