Why Do I Sometimes Have to Sign In Again?

You might notice that sometimes the Welcome page is presented for you to sign in again, even though you did not sign out. This is a security measure.

The system automatically signs you out when there is no on-screen activity for a specified period of time. This reduces the risk, for example, of someone requisitioning materials from your PC, under your sign-in name, while you are away from your desk.

The default automatic sign-out period is 30 minutes. The period of inactivity before automatic sign-out can be revised by your system administrator.
