# Table State Saving

By default the display state of each table in a view is stored in the user's browser session.
If the table is redrawn or the user navigates back and forth between views or apps the tables will remain the same state, this includes:

- Global search values
- Column search values
- Column sorting
- Pagination: page size, current page

If the user closes the browser window or if they log in as a different user within the same browser window then the state for all tables will be wiped. This is only considered temporary state that is kept whilst they are working within a given browser window and Xpress Insight session.

During view development, if you are changing the configuration of tables, you may wish to display table state saving temporarily. You may also wish to disable it permanently for particular tables in a view. To do this add the following property to your AutoTable configuration:

    {
        tableId: 'table-no-state-saving',
        columnOptions: [
            ...
        ],
        saveState: false
    }
