The Automatic log off facility is designed to prevent inactive signed in users from monopolizing license seats unnecessarily. If the number of signed in users reaches the maximum number of license seats, and a new user attempts to sign in, the system identifies an idle user and releases that connection, thereby freeing up a license seat for the new user.
A user is flagged as idle after a 10 minute period of inactivity, during which they have not accessed an application, module, or logbook. Idle users will only be signed out if the number of occupied license seats has reached the maximum, and a new user attempts to sign in to the system.
