Preference style setting method

Hello, Before the Preferences are saved to the server, they are stored in a cache on the client. This is to improve performance so that there only needs to be one call to the server to save all of the user's preferences for a specific session instead of many calls to the server while the user is doing work. However, if a user makes a change to the order of an ItemType's columns, that same order should be pulled from the cache if the user leaves and comes back to that ItemType. Are you seeing different behavior? If so, what version of Innovator are you using? While investigating this, I did notice that if I used the "Hide Column" action from the right-click context menu, the column would not be hidden if I switched to another ItemType and back. Two things to note about this behavior is that it seems to have been fixed in 11.0 SP15 and I did not have this issue if I used the "Select Columns" button in the grid toolbar. With all that being said, if there is another use case for saving the preferences of the User, you can save the preferences from a client side Method by using aras.savePreferenceItems();. Please note that calling this function each time the user performs a search will likely lead to performance issues though. Chris
