Setting an Automatic Timeout for Interplay Assist and Avid Instinct
An Interplay administrator has the option of letting Interplay Assist and Avid Instinct
automatically time out after a specified period of inactivity. This feature helps in license
management, because it enables an unused license to be freed up without the administrator
manually finding and closing inactive applications on user desktops.
If a timeout period is set, and the application does not detect any activity during that period, the
application displays a message that asks if you want to quit. Click Yes to quit, or click No to keep
the application open. If you do not click Yes or No, the application quits in twenty seconds.
The default setting is one hour. This setting applies to the entire database.
To set the timeout period:
1. Start Interplay Administrator and log on to the database for which you want to set the
automatic timeout.
2. In the Application Settings section of the Interplay Administrator, click the Application
Database Settings icon.
3. Click the Application Defaults tab.
4. Select the database (AvidWG).
5. In the Assist/Instinct - Defaults section, enter a value in hours for the Automatic Timeout
option. Decimal values are allowed. For example, for a timeout period of one and a half
hours, enter:
1.5
If you do not want a timeout period, enter 0 (zero).
6. Click Apply.
The timeout period begins the next time you launch the application.
