About the session timeout period

About the session timeout period

By default, the appliance automatically logs users out of the Administrator Console or User Console after one hour of inactivity. This is referred to as the Session Timeout.

Sessions are restarted at every server interaction, such as reloading the current page, saving changes, or moving to a new page. If the Session Timeout period elapses without any interaction, any unsaved changes are lost, and the login page appears. The Timeout Session counter appears in the upper right of each console.

For instructions on changing the Session Timeout, see:

•
Configure appliance General Settings with the Organization component enabled
•
Configure appliance General Settings without the Organization component

Using the Satisfaction Survey

Using the Satisfaction Survey

Changing the Satisfaction Survey default behavior

The Satisfaction Survey enables Service Desk ticket submitters to provide feedback on the handling of tickets.

If the Satisfaction Survey is enabled, an email message describing the survey is sent to submitters immediately when a ticket is closed. This email message uses the Ticket Closed email template.

By default, the survey is visible to submitters when they access a closed ticket for the first time, and thereafter until the survey is completed. After the survey is completed, it is hidden. Survey scores and comments are stored in the ticket and are not editable by the Service Desk staff.

You can run various reports to display and analyze survey data using Service Desk reports. In addition, you can change the Ticket Closed email template that describes the survey, change the survey label, or prevent the survey from being displayed. See:

•
Run Service Desk reports
•
Configure email templates
•
Change the Satisfaction Survey label
•
Remove the Satisfaction Survey field from tickets
