User inactivity management is taken into account if the Inactivity Management option is selected.
To manage user inactivity:
1. Access Options at the environment level.
2. In the Options tree, select Workspace.
3. In the right pane, select values for options:
*Duration of inactivity requiring authentication must be less than that closing HOPEX.
• Period of inactivity requiring authentication
When this duration has been reached, the user receives a message requesting authentication.
*This duration warns the user before he/she is disconnected if the Duration of inactivity before closing HOPEX option has been specified.
• Duration of inactivity before closing HOPEX
When this duration has been reached, the user is disconnected and HOPEX closes without warning.
*So that the user is warned of disconnection, the Period of inactivity requiring authentication must be specified and its value less than that of the Duration of inactivity before closing HOPEX.
