The Sessions Timeout setting is found on the Global Settings page, in the Login & Security Settings section.
This setting is used to control how long a user can be inactive in their browser before they are automatically logged out by the system.
The session timeout feature will automatically log out any 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.
Set the Session Timeout as required.
We recommend that you always set this option. A common session timeout is 120 minutes, but can range from 30 minutes to 480 minutes
