Configuring the Infor Process Designer screen timeout

You can configure the length of time the IPD can remain inactive before timeout happens by defining the designerTimeout property in the gen (data area) configuration parameter.

Timeout will not happen under any of these scenarios:

  • If you do not define a timeout property in the gen configuration parameter

  • If the IPD is in offline mode

  • If the timeout value is set to -1

Also, the timeout timer would be reset for any activities such as key down or mouse movement on the IPD screen. Timeout happens if IPD is idle for a given timeout period since the last activity on the IPD screen.

  1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select the gen data area.
  2. Navigate to Start > Data > la > Business Classes > ConfigurationParameter.
  3. Specify this information:
    Name

    Specify the property name as designerTimeout.

    Value

    Specify the timeout value in minutes.

    For example, if you specify 30, then IPD will timeout in 30 minutes if there is no user activity.

    A warning message is displayed 60 seconds before the timeout happens. You can click OK to keep the session active. Otherwise, IPD closes and you will need to specify your login credentials. During this time, any unsaved changes will be lost.

  4. Save your changes.
