Session length?

[cmajewski]

A few of my users are leaving their browsers on and timetrex logged in. Eventually I think the session expires and they get "not authorized to punch in or out from this station".
Is there any way to extend the session length?

Timetrex 2.28
Centos 5.2
Apache 2.23

"not authorized to punch in or out from this station".

That is not a session timeout error, that is a station restriction error. Chances are there cookies are being cleared in their browser and TimeTrex no longer knows what station they are using and denies them access to punch in/out.

If the session was timing out, they would get logged out of TimeTrex entirely. I believe the default session timeout is about 4hours.

Is there any way to prevent the error or disable the station restrictions?

TimeTrex by default allows all stations to punch in/out, so this should only be occurring if a change to that was made.

See section 2.4 in the Administrator Guide for more information on stations.
