Use the glide.ui.session_timeout property to designate, in minutes, activity timeout value.

There are several functional impacts from setting this property:
  • The longer the specified session time-out, the greater the amount of memory is utilized during a processing session. The base system uses a default Apache Tomcat timeout duration of 30 minutes.
  • The Now Platform still logs out users out with Remember Me. After 30 minutes of inactivity in the application, the platform logs the user out automatically, unless the Remember Me check box in the login page is selected. What ’s different is that they don’t log in again to continue.
  • If there are gauges or content on users' home pages that refresh automatically, then this timeout may never be reached.
