Modifying Session Timeout Duration for WebUI Apps

WebUI sessions have a default timeout timer that will end an idle data session after 300 seconds (5 minutes) with checks being made every 10 seconds.

To change this setting you can add a .txt file in the project’s main folder with the name webui-check-alive-settings.txt. In this file you can specify the timeout timer with the format “time before ending session(seconds)” “interval checks(seconds)”.

For example: 600 10 would terminate the session after 10 minutes with checks made every 10 seconds.

Ending a Session Explicitly

The timer is not the only way a session ends. To close one from the model:

  • WebUI apps: pro::sessionmanager::FinishSession

  • WinUI apps: ExitAimms

Note that after a logout a WebUI session stays active for a further five minutes before it is deactivated.
