Create a new timeout

You will need to start the Create Timeout Wizard to add a new Timeout in the Network Management Console (NMC). This can be accomplished by right-clicking the Timeouts folder under Application Settings and selecting New Timeout.

As an Administrator, you can add new timeouts or delete existing ones from your AVEVA Enterprise SCADA domain. There are two main types of timeouts you can create: Inactivity or Pop-up.

• Inactivity timeouts will log the user out of the easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS) if there is no activity within a specified period of time.

• Pop-up timeouts will close the current pop-up window in ezXOS if there is no activity within a specified period of time.

• Custom timeouts allows the user to create and write custom codes for its unique conditions.

To create a new timeout

   The Create Timeout Wizard appears.

   

2. Select Next.

   The General page for the Create Timeout Wizard appears.

   

3. In the Name field, enter an appropriate name for the timeout.

   This name will be shown in the General tab of the Timeout Properties after you have completed the wizard.

4. In the Description field, enter any relevant or useful information that will help you identify the use of the newly created timeout.

   This information will be shown on the General tab of the Timeout Properties after you have completed the wizard.

   Note: If you are creating a custom timeout, you will be required to write your own code that depends on the desired timeout type. There are no pre-determined custom code examples.
