Configuring a Session Timeout
By default, MediaCentral UX is configured for a session timeout. After 30 minutes of inactivity, a user’s session is disconnected. An administrator can change the time or disable the option.
This setting applies to all users. If you change and apply the setting, the new setting takes effect the next time a user loads a layout.
Timeout is a good way of ensuring that a system license is released when a user leaves for the day without signing out of MediaCentral UX. With the implementation of auto-save for stories and sequences, any unsaved changes are saved in a recovery file. For more information, see
Recovering Stories In Case of Disconnect and
Recovering Sequences.
To configure a session timeout:
1. Sign in to MediaCentral UX as an administrator.
2. Select System Settings from the Layout selector.
The System Settings layout opens.
3. In the Settings pane, select General.
4. In the Session Timeout section of the Details pane, make sure Enable is selected and specify the number of minutes of inactivity before a user’s session is disconnected.
You can set a time between 10 minutes and 1440 minutes (24 hours).
