Good Morning colleagues!

I would like to ask, where can I find the place that i can adjust the length of time before an idle session times out in NAV 2018?

Thank you in advance

    hi

    In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018, you can adjust the length of time before an idle session times out by modifying the "SessionTimeout" setting in the "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe.config" file on the NAV Server.

    Here are the steps to modify the SessionTimeout setting:

    Open the "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe.config" file in a text editor such as Notepad.

    Search for the "SessionTimeout" setting. It should be in a section labeled "<appSettings>".

    The default value for SessionTimeout is 30 minutes. You can change this value to the desired number of minutes.

    Save the changes to the "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe.config" file.

    Restart the NAV Server service for the changes to take effect.

    Note that changing the SessionTimeout setting will affect all users who connect to the NAV Server.

    Hi,

    You can adjust the length of timeout from NAV 2018 administration.

    There are two settings that control when a Web client session closes because of inactivity on a connection:

    ClientServicesIdleClientTimeout setting on Business Central Server.

    SessionTimeout setting on the Business Central Web Server.

    You can read other parameters in detail here
