Lock and unlock

Web interface lockout

You can lock your session manually.

Your session is automatically locked after a certain period of inactivity. The session time-out is identical to the inactivity time defined in the Control Panel under Administration > Security Policy.

If you set the inactivity time to 0, your session automatically locks after 24 hours of inactivity.

A locked session shows a lock button in the header. In the case of tablet and desktop devices, the actual content is additionally marked with (locked). The content of your previous session is still displayed and updated. In the Analyses view, analyses and sequences are highlighted in the color of their current status. Sequences are shown collapsed. Interactions, such as editing and navigating, are disabled. The scroll bar is still active. Scroll up and down to view the status of your workload without logging in.
