Is there a way we can opt for the screen NOT to time out?? Very annoying when you get sidetracked on another task and your screen has timed out. Especially in the middle of an RFI where you have already entered text but it does not save.

Reiterating the last comment. Is custom configuration still being considered?
Is custom configuration still being considered?
I think this should be a parameter that we can choose and set ourselves.
We bumped up the log out for inactivity to 60 minutes and are pursuing additional solutions -better auto-save and custom configuration for example. Marking this as shipped.
4 hours would be a great improvement!
Aaron, users are losing work due to this timeout. I have lost count how many complaints I receive on this item as well as the number of times people have lost what they were working on while reviewing a submittal / writing an RFI that required long thought processes..
Any movement on this Aaron?
A configurable option would be ideal. that way our office staff can stay logged in when they are using it on and off every time, while allowing the field staff to have a smaller time out due to security concerns.
The longer the better in my opinion.
Aaron, great to have this option. Would want it to be an administrative setting that I control for my site?
This is probably one of the highest complaints I get about Team. This would be reasonable.
That sounds good to me as well.
Would the time be set by the administrator at the enterprise level or as a user preference setting?
Aaron, that sounds good to me.
The reason for the timeout is for security best practices. We have been thinking that making this a configurable setting up to 4 hours would be a reasonable first step. Thoughts?
