We recommend that you always set this option. A common session timeout is 120 30 minutes, but can range from 30 10 minutes to 480 minutes. 

==NotesPossible reasons for seeing the session expired message== When setting * User has been inactive for more than the '''Session Timeout''' be sure to take specified time and the following into consideration:session has timed out.* The Session timer will be reset when User has been disconnected from the user clicks any link within SmartSimple, or saves any recordinternet mid-session.* Typing values into User has started a form but not clicking "Save" or "Save Draft" will NOT keep new session in a different browser while the initial session is still active. The first session will expire* If User has logged in on a user closes their [[browser]] without logging out, their session will not normally end until different machine while the initial session timeout period expiresis still active. This behaviour can be changed using The session on the [[Enable Logout]] settingfirst machine will expire.
