Managing session timeouts in Everbridge Suite to prevent your Manager Portal session from timing out.
Description
In order to prevent unauthorized activity, Everbridge will log you out of your session after 60 minutes of inactivity.

In order to remain logged in, follow the steps below:

This article is intended for users who are at their desks for extended periods of time, whose terminals are not left unattended, and who may need to send notifications at any moment. This example applies to Manager Portal users with access to the Notifications tab, such as dispatchers and switchboard operators. The concept applies to any screen that has an Auto Refresh toggle available. Everbridge does not recommend anyone violate any security recommendations such as leaving their workstations unattended while logged into Everbridge. An account administrator can set the session timeout policy by following the steps listed in EBS: Changing the Amount of Time It Takes for an Everbridge User to Be Automatically Logged Out After a Period of Inactivity. |
- Log in to the Manager Portal and select the desired Organization from the top navigation bar. Note that if you only belong to a single Organization, you won't be able to choose another.
- Navigate to Communications > Notifications > Active/History.
- If the Legacy UI is applied, navigate to Notifications > Active/History from the top menu bar.
- Set the Auto Refresh option to ON.
- Leave this browser window open and return when you need to send a Notification.
