Hi Vinod\_Sardar,

It depends on the product. Are you using KX Platform + Dashboards, or Dashboards Direct?

If it’s the prior, the viewstate settings can be viewed in KX Control UI through the navigation tree. Search for the dashboard GUID and you’ll see it with the username appended on the end.

If in Dashboards Direct, if I recall correctly, you can either find these under the installation directory in the /data folder or within your browser session cookies.

Hope this helps your search, let us know your findings
