On the Server tab, you can adjust the following time-out settings:
Idle Session
The Idle session timeout feature allows you to set the number of minutes the FYI Server and/or FYI Administration Console Server allows a session to sit idle before closing the connection and disconnecting the user. When a user's connection status on the Connections tab in the FYI Admin Console displays as Idle, the user is typically editing or reviewing records in FYI Reviewer or Concordance .FYI, or working in the FYI Admin Console.
The Idle session time-out feature can be set on the Settings and Connections tabs in the FYI Admin Console. For more information about modifying the setting on the Connections tab, see Setting user connection options.
Shutdown
You can adjust the number of seconds the FYI Server waits before ending a session in FYI Reviewer or Concordance .FYI by changing the Shutdown timeout (in seconds) setting on the Settings tab. Sessions are ended when FYI Server services are stopped/restarted on the Server tab or when an individual user session is disconnected on the Connections tab. When a user’s session ends, FYI Server first attempts a soft kill, which sends a message to the server requesting it to close all files, save data, and end the user's session. Soft kills do not save data currently being edited by the client.

If a time-out occurs while a user is performing a long-term process, such as packing, indexing, or running a CPL, possible database corruption may occur. |
Disconnect
You can adjust the number of seconds the FYI Server waits before disconnecting users' connections to the FYI Admin Console by changing the Disconnected timeout (in seconds) setting on the Settings tab. Sessions are ended when FYI Server services are stopped/restarted on the Server tab or when an individual user session is disconnected on the Connections tab. When a user’s session ends, FYI Server first attempts a soft kill, which sends a message to the server requesting it to close all files, save data, and end the user's session. Soft kills do not save data currently being edited by the client.
