Menu_Timeout_Location

      Menu_Timeout_{Location} = x  (Where x is a number of minutes and Location is terminal location) 

This option controls how long a user can be idle at a menu before being logged off. It is based on a Per Terminal basic - you should replace {Location} above with the name/location of the terminal.

By default this is NOT enabled - users can stay on the system for as long as they want.

Setting Menu_Timeout_Cons1 = 60 for example, will reset the screen'cons1' if there has been no keyboard activity for an hour.

This is a global setting and we would not recommend it is set too low!!!. The log-off time will be checked on ANY Premvet menu or input box - it does not apply if you are in a text box, waiting room summary, user activity screen or at an OS prompt.

It will NOT affect any running program, that is if a bill run, recall run is going etc. it only takes affect at menu's.

This option is a little resource greedy.
