Auto-Logout Timer

 To enhance security and prevent unauthorized access, Gimmal Physical includes an Auto-Logout Timer that displays the remaining time before automatic logout. This feature helps ensure that inactive sessions do not remain open, protecting sensitive records and improving system security.

How the Auto-Logout Timer Works

The Auto-Logout Timer is now included in the latest versions of Gimmal Physical. It actively counts down the time left before a session automatically logs out due to inactivity. The timer is:

• Configurable: The timeout duration is a system-wide setting that can be adjusted by Gimmal or your IT team if running Gimmal Physical on-premises.

• Visible: Users can monitor the countdown timer to avoid unexpected logouts.

• Resettable: To extend your session, simply interact with the application by clicking any button or entering data anywhere.

What Happens if You Timeout?

If no action is taken before the timer expires, Gimmal Physical will automatically log out the user. A message will appear notifying you that the session has timed out, requiring you to log in again to continue working.

By keeping track of the Auto-Logout Timer, users can prevent unexpected logouts and maintain workflow efficiency while ensuring system security.
