Inactivity Management for Users

With the aid of a WinCC OA script, you can also set inactivity to be valid for a user.

/*

If you want to react with different users to different timeouts and do not want to consider the UI number, proceed as follows:

1) Set the warning timeout to, for example, 5 minutes with no action

2) In your base panel (PT HMI), connect to the inactivity warning and start the logout process
