Idle Time Reset Alert Duration
Supported In:
Customize the duration of the alert that appears when the Idle Time Limit is about to trigger is shown. This duration is inclusive of the idle time limit.
Idle Time Reset Alert Duration needs to be less than Idle Time Limit for the Idle Time Reset Alert Text to show.
For example, if the Idle Time Limit is set to 60 seconds and the Idle Time Reset Alert Duration is set to 10 seconds, the Idle Time Reset Alert Text will be displayed 50 seconds after the last touch to the screen and will display for 10 seconds (unless someone touches the screen in the meantime) until the Idle Time Limit refreshes the screen at 60 seconds (as expected by the Idle Time Limit setting).
Default: 10
Unit of Measurement: seconds
