View Indexes - on server, or local ...?

Are view indexes of db’s on servers stored locally or on the server ? In other words, when I do a CTRL-SHFT-F9 in my client, does that index the db on the server, so that its indexed for other Notes client users too ? Or will that only affect -my- Notes client performance ?

We have a db that is slow to index the views, I am trying to find a way to keep it indexed for the users…I need to have it indexed on the server frequently, but do not have admin access to the server.

It’s stored in the database - so if you refresh a Server database, the indexes are updated on the server copy (and so for all users), and if on a local copy/replica, they are stored on the local copy.
