The Session Timeout setting is found on the Global Settings page, in the Security tab.

This setting is used to control how long a user session can be inactive in their browser before they are automatically redirected to a pop-up Login window.

During the time that the pop-up Login window is displayed all current information is maintained within the session. No information will be lost if the user logs back into the system. If the user chooses to close their browser rather than log in again then any unsaved data will be lost.

During the time that the pop-up Login window is displayed the rest of the browser window is darkened to ensure no one can read the information on the screen.

Set the Session Timeout as required.

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