FactoryTalk View ME, closing a window on logout

[forqnc]

Hi,
I am working on a project which has a screen that needs to be logged in to access. That's the easy part, the problem I have is, once a user is logged in and stays on the limited access screen, when I automatically log them out, due to 2 mins of inactivity, there is still access to the screen. Is there a way to close a window once a user is logged out?

Maybe a macro? Otherwise you can disable all of the things you don't want them to see with a visibility animation that requires a login at their security level to see.

yes. on your Logout button properties under the General tab there is a section under the Display Settings where you can check a box marked Show display on logout then directly below it you would enter the display name. Now anytime someone logs out they will be directed back to the screen in which they would need to be logged in to navigate anywhere.

In Project settings/Runtime, you should have a nice checkbox "Return to graphic on logout" with drop down menu for selection of the screen you want to return.

Edit:
Ha-ha, JZerb was faster

Thanks for the responses, but I must be missing something. I found the check box as you describe, but it does nothing. Will it matter if I have 3 separate logout buttons on different screens? I have set them all to go to the same display, see attached.

Check my previous reply.
I was talking about Project settings, tab Runtime. It will work even on automatic logout.

mdim, thanks for the quick response. I found where you said, but that still doesn't work. I see my auto logoff change to default but the screen doesn't change.
