We have just deployed a feature whereby each user can now have their own setting per screen (search criteria, filters, rows per page, product viewed, favorite pages, preferred home page .), , and these will be remembered across sign on/sign off sessions.
This is an improvement over the persistent settings by screen only, where the last user to change settings effectively was affecting all the other users on the same account. The effect is that now you and your VA’s can each have your own distinct settings.
Since we deployed the much more granular access permissions for guest accounts, we had an influx of additional users per account, so the settings separation had become a necessity.
