UI Element Purpose

Enable Auto-Logout checkbox

Timeout textbox

Enables or disables the auto-logout feature for the DR6 device.

When unchecked the current user remains logged in to the DR6 device until another user logs in or the current user logs out by pressing a Logout button on the device.

When checked, the DR6 automatically logs the current user out of the device after it has been idle (i.e. the screen is not touched) for the timeout period. To log the user out, the DR6 changes the current user to Unsecured.
