The below messages are seen on the web player. What does it mean? What is the difference?

 The page has been closed due to inactivity Thank you for using Spotfire Continue

 Your analysis has been closed. Reopen Analysis

Note:

1. The idle session timeout default is 30 minutes (this can be changed from the Spotfire Server configuration)
2. The inactivity timeout default is 2 hours (this can be changed from Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Host.Web.config)

Understanding the difference and why it occurs is crucial. To help you achieve this, we've provided an example that will make things clearer for you.

Scenario 1:

• When you log in to the web player, an idle timeout count will begin if you do not perform any activity or do not open DXP/analysis. Once the set idle time has been reached, you will be automatically logged out and the following message will appear:

   The page has been closed due to inactivity Thank you for using Spotfire Continue

• Idle timeout is for your web login. (for example accessing Admin Console, Opening the Web Player.)
• But when you click on "Continue" it will log in again without entering user credentials.

Scenario 2: 

• When you log in to the web player and open the DXP/analysis, if you don't perform any activity on the open DXP/analysis, an inactivity timeout and an idle timeout count will begin. Once the set time for inactivity timeout and idle timeout is reached, you will see the following message.

   Your analysis has been closed. Reopen Analysis

• This means that the inactivitySessionTimeout will only close your analysis file. However, your user session will remain active. Once you click "Reopen Analysis," the file will open without requiring login credentials.
• inactivity timeout is for your opened DXP/analysis on the web player.
• Note: It may also display the "Continue" option instead of "Reopen Analysis"
