The session timeout feature will automatically log out any [[User|user]] if their session remains inactive for the defined number of minutes.
The Session timer will be reset when the user clicks any link within SmartSimple,
or saves any record. Typing values into a form but not clicking "Save" or "Save Draft"
will NOT keep a session active. The session timeout must take this into
consideration and be set accordingly.

We recommend that you always set this option. A common session timeout is 120 minutes, but can range from 30 minutes to 480 minutes.
==Notes==
When setting the '''Session Timeout''' be sure to take the following into consideration:
* The Session timer will be reset when the user clicks any link within SmartSimple, or saves any record.
* Typing values into a form but not clicking "Save" or "Save Draft" will NOT keep a session active.
* If a user closes their [[browser]] without logging out, their session will not normally end until the session timeout period expires. This behaviour can be changed using the [[Enable Logout]] setting.
