Setting Up Security > Company Options Screen > Minutes Without Activity to Close Terminal

Enter the default number of minutes for your institution that will trigger a timeout for users. A minimum of 5 and maximum of 60 minutes must be entered; the system will not accept a number outside that range. The default is 20 minutes.

The first time a user attempts to enter anything on an FPS GOLD screen after the timeout value has expired, a timeout window will be displayed, and the user must enter their user name and password in order to continue.

This feature, also called an "inactivity logoff," increases security by locking FPS GOLD programs that are not in "active" use. Should a user need more or less time before timeout occurs, the security officer can override the default and enter any length of time up to 546 minutes on the Employee Definition screen.
