Create a Session Timeout – NiceLabel Web Client Instructions

Target Audience: Advanced User, IT Manager

Article #: 13880

Summary

This Instruction Article explains how to create a session timeout for the NiceLabel Web Client. Following a session timeout, a user will be required to authenticate again to the licensed NiceLabel Cloud URL. A session timeout is often needed to ensure that each person using the same Web Client goes through authentication, so the user audit history is as accurate as possible.

Preparation

NiceLabel Designer – PowerForms is needed to update NiceLabel Solutions opened by Web Client users as Applications.

Instructions

  1. In NiceLabel Designer, open the NiceLabel solution which uses forms.
  2. Select the Data tab, select Dynamic Data Manager, and click Internal Variables.

  1. Click the check box for the variable SystemUserName.
  2. Create a VBScript Expression function for the Web Client configuration path.

Use the expression “C:\Users\” & [SystemUserName] & “\AppData\Local\NiceLabel\NiceLabelWebClient\user.product.config”

  1. Create a standard text variable called Variable_ASCII.
  2. Select a form and click “Document Properties”.
  3. Click Events.
  4. In the “On Form Inactivity” section, select the time interval for session timeout.

    5. In the “Replace With” field, add: <PowerFormsCloudTokenData></PowerFormsCloudTokenData>
    6. Click the checkbox next to “Regular expressions”.
