Session timeout in minutes
After logging in, a user establishes a session with the Activation Server 6. Use session security to limit exposure to your network when a user leaves his computer unattended while still logged on. It also limits the risk of internal attacks, such as when one employee tries to use another employee's session.
You can control the session expiration time window for user logins. Session expiration allows you to select a timeout for user sessions. The default session timeout is 30 minutes of inactivity. When the session timeout is reached, users are automatically logged out.
Last Login
Date / Time when the user logged in the last time. It is automatically updated.
Language

Default TAB
Extended View offers all available data but is slower. If you have more than 50.000 transactions use Basic View. This will speed up the loading of the data and you can select the TAB Extended View in case you need more information. These TABs are available in some views like Key List or Transactions.
