Inactivity timeout

If you do not use Synergetic for a certain period of time, the system will log you out. The default period is 30 minutes. This period can be set:

• by the organisation as a whole
• for individual logons.

We recommend that if you are not located in a secure area that you set your inactivity timeout to a small number, for example five minutes.

Note: Only system administrators can change the timeout period. Your system administrator can specify a timeout period for you. See the Preferences tab on the Group/User Security Maintenance - Users view in the System maintenance manual.

To change the inactivity timeout:

1. Exit from all Synergetic programs.
2. Select File > Preferences.
   The Preferences window is displayed.
3. Select Override Automatic Shutdown.
4. In the Timeout Period field, select or type the number of minutes of inactivity that must pass before Synergetic automatically shuts down.
   
   Note: Only the super-administrator (sa) user can override automatic shutdown.
