Question:
Where are the user-specific settings stored?

Solution:
Since DocuWare Version 6.5 the user settings are stored in the so called local storage of the browser.

From DocuWare Version 6.7 on it is possible to store the settings in the database instead.
This is especially recommended in Terminal Server environments to provide the user-specific settings on different systems and browsers.

Change the following parameter in file "C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuWare\Web\Platform\Web.config":

...
<setting name="LocalStorage" serializeAs="String">
   <value>False</value>
</setting>
...

If set to "False" the settings are stored in the database.

    If you don't see the file then DocuWare has defaulted to storing the user settings in the database.  You can check this by finding a table in dwsystem called DWUserSettings.
