Personalized settings attributes

The system resets the following settings when you clear your personalized settings:

Setting Description
Recent Items Recent Items appear in the menu and the dashboard. When you clear your personalized settings, the system resets both areas, and all previous recent items disappear.
Bookmarks You can bookmark pages that you use most often for quick access from the dashboard and toolbar. When you clear your personalized settings, the system removes all of your bookmarks.
Home Page Pod Layout and Order You can customize the order of the pods on the dashboard, as well as hide those you use less often. When you clear your personalized settings, the system resets the changes you applied to the dashboard so all the pods will appear open and in their default location on the page.
Search and Filter Settings The Search and Filters pane remembers whether you opened or close the pane on all list pages where it appears. When you clear your personalized settings, all Search and Filters panes on the list pages will be open by default.
Locale and Product Settings When you view and edit an existing product, the locale and Product Settings you chose to view will appear by default when you first view the product. When you clear your personalized settings, the system clears those defaults settings.
Search Settings The Search tool is available in the primary toolbar in the upper right area of each page. Use it to quickly search for products, offers, users, and orders. When you use the Search tool, the system saves the options you chose based on your last search. When you clear your personalized settings, the system resets those selections so that you have to choose these options again.
