Display Idle Session Timeout

Overview

This plugin addresses session timeout requirements for Appian Portal interfaces where native session management is limited. It provides a customizable idle session timeout mechanism that improves user experience and application security. When a user is inactive for a defined period, a warning dialog is displayed, allowing them to extend their session. If no action is taken, a second dialog notifies the user that their session has expired and any unsaved changes are lost. This ensures sensitive data is protected and aligns with compliance or timeout policies in enterprise applications.
