Why does my session keep logging out automatically after some time? Can I prevent this?

Auto logout is typically a security feature to protect your account from unauthorized access. Common causes include:
Session timeout settings set by your organization or application (usually 15–30 minutes of inactivity).
Accessing from a public or shared device where automatic sign-out is enforced.
Network or browser settings that clear cookies or local storage after each session.
Here’s what you can do:
If allowed, go to Settings > Session Preferences and extend your timeout duration.
Check your browser settings to ensure cookies are enabled and not auto-clearing.
Avoid using incognito or private browsing for work sessions.
Contact your admin to request longer session durations if required.
