Question:
Where does DocuWare store changes made by user, for example the default zoom Level of the Viewer or the column order of indexfields, shown in a result list
 

Answer:
What is a local storage:
Modern web browsers support a number of ways for websites to store data on the user's computer then retrieve it when necessary. This lets you persist data for long-term storage, save sites or documents for offline use, retain user-specific settings for your site, and more.

Unlike cookies, local storage has therefore different task for DocuWare.
DocuWare uses it to keep some of the user's settings related to the DocuWare WebClient after the session ends, i.e., after the user logs out of DocuWare or restarts the computer.

A classic Use case for local storage, provided by DocuWare:
A user wants to move an index field to the first position in a result list. The user wants this customization to persist in the user's Edge browser for the next day and week.
It is no coincidence that reference is made to the browser in this use case. This is because the local storage only applies to the browser in which the setting was made.
It also only applies to the Windows user who started the browser, because the local storage is user-specific.

How to check your Local Storage:
Open the Website, you want to inspect the local storage for.
Press the F12 Button

The following description may vary by version, operating system language and if the storage location was changed (see further infos). Please refer to your browser documentation for navigating to local storage information or contact your DocuWare administrator for further informations.
