Using Communifire is Easier than Ever
Our newest activity timeout setting increases your intranet’s security. Prevent unauthorized access by setting how long users can be inactive until they are automatically logged out. All it takes is a couple of clicks to set up—here’s how it works:
- Go to your control panel and click “System Property”.
- Scroll to the “UserInactivityTimeOutInMinutes” property and click the edit icon.
- Add the time value you want users to be logged out and click “Save”.
Now when employees or users become inactive after a specified amount of time, they will be signed out of your intranet.
There’s more enhancements added to Communifire— here’s your list of everything new.
