What does viewstates mean in App level?

Can someone please tell me what is viewstates referring to under metadata?

And if I want to hide only Settings for Splunk users (Only able to search and logout button), what should I do?

Thanks

viewstates.conf is an old configuration that used to store the state of a view in Splunk, for example what kind of chart was selected for a given saved search. This was superseded in roughly 6.0, the settings were moved to savedsearches.conf or SimpleXML.

See docs from 6.0: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/AdvancedDev/Migration#Viewstates_are_no_longer_suppo...

from docs.splunk.com:
viewstates.conf "Use this file to set up IU views (such as charts) in Splunk."
