Panel User Session Timeout

MediaLabz

Lately I've been finding it to be quite counter-productive when my user session one the panel times out, and I have to sign in and start from the very beginning to get back to where I was.

Would it be possible to:

Set the timeout time for each user
When logging in after timeout, return the place the user was in the panel before the timeout.

MediaLabz Thanks for sharing this feature request. As always, if a timeout setting per user is popular enough this will be put forward to develop.

I've logged 'When logging in after timeout, return the place the user was in the panel before the timeout' as a UX issue. The team will tackle this.

In the meantime, if you wanted to, it is possible to adjust the timeout session for the whole platform (note: this will apply to customers too.) You can do this by changing the value for session_expiry to your desired timeout in seconds in /var/local/enhance/orchd.json and then running systemctl restart orchd on your control panel server.

Aliysa_Enhance Will that change be lost in updates?

Aliysa_Enhance I've added this (first time I recall seeing this tip) to our tips here: https://github.com/xyzulu/enhance-related/wiki

nqnoc No, it's persistent.

Another issue that's still a bit irritating is that when you're on a page/tab example in website and go back button in the browser, it takes you straight back to the main panel page. The F5 key also does this, requiring you to go back to the tab again.

AdamM It's best to create a seperate post for this so we can keep the conversation in one place and it doesn't get lost.
