Configure an inactivity timeout for Planning Analytics on Cloud

Planning Analytics Workspace on Cloud enforces an inactivity timeout. Previously, this inactivity period was set to 60 minutes for all users and could not be configured by a Planning Analytics administrator.

About this task

As of Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.79, the inactivity timeout is configurable. When a user is inactive for the period of time specified by the Planning Analytics Workspace administrator, the user is disconnected from the Planning Analytics database. This inactivity timeout is mandatory and is applicable to all Planning Analytics Workspace on Cloud users, as well as Planning Analytics for Excel users.
