State management in the CES UI

When you reorder columns, resize the columns, sort values within a table, choose columns to view or hide (if available), specify filter criteria, choose the number of records you want to view in a table, or choose to view a page (pagination), the selections persist on the UI.

However, your selections do not persist in the following scenarios:

When you log on to CES with your user credentials in one web browser, switch to another web browser and again log on to CES with the same credentials
Example
Consider that you log on to CES by using Google Chrome and then switch to Mozilla Firefox to log on to CES with the same credentials. In this case, the selections are not retained.
When you log on to CES with your user credentials in one web browser, and then open another web browser in incognito mode and again log on to CES with the same credentials
When you log on to CES as a guest user and switch browsers
When you log on to CES with your user credentials and log out, and then log on to the same CES instance by using another user account
