Dashboard storage
It's now possible to maintain parameter states between different sessions. Instead of using simple parameters, objects inside the special namespace storage can be saved and restored.
Dashboards can store values as per the user preferences. Let's suppose you have a dashboard where you want to persist the status next time you get on the dashboard. It's possible to do this with the storage functionality of CDF. Each time that the function dashboard.saveStorage() is called, CDF will store the content of the dashboard.storage object. When the dashboard is loaded for that user, the dashboard will have access to the object dashboard.storage where all the collections (objects and arrays) or functions are defined.
