Network timeouts are a configuration that controls the time that School Manager keeps you and other users logged in to a device. Timeouts are configured for different durations, days, groups, networks and authentication types. By default, your session is removed after 30 minutes of inactivity. If you shut off your computer for over 30 minutes, you must log in again to resume browsing.
Info
This functionality only applies to schools with a Linewize appliance.
