This setting is used to control how long a [[User|user]] session can be inactive in their [[Browser|browser]] before they are automatically logged out by the systemredirected to a pop-up Login window.

The During the time that the pop-up Login window is displayed all current information is maintained within the session timeout feature . No information will automatically log out any [[User|be lost if the user]] if their session remains inactive for logs back into the defined number of minutessystem. A [[Timeout Alert]] If the user chooses to close their browser rather than log in again then any unsaved data will be displayed 30 seconds before lost. During the session expires to alert time that the user to pop-up Login window is displayed the fact that they will be logged out rest of the system. This feature browser window is darkened to ensure no one can be disabled by selecting read the "Disable Session Timeout Alert" option under Login & Security Settings information on the Global Settings pagescreen.

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. ==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.
