Is there a way to have a notification banner/modal popup that has for example a minute countdown before the web app logs you out, like AIB personal bank? I was just typing an invoice and Bullet logged me out. Thanks

Hmm if you’re typing it shouldn’t log you out. Let me check with tech. If you weren’t typing in Bullet for that time it will log you out – to protect your data.

    Thanks. That didn't seem to have happened

    So what can happen is if you're typing that only updates the browser and not our server. So if you were typing a long invoice there is a risk the server thinks you've gone idil.
    If you're going to write a long invoice just save it before the 30 min mark and then edit it.
    Sorry about that hassle. The auto logout is a bit of a balancing act between security and usability. Sorry again.

    No problem. I know that. That's why I thought a JS logic could be added to check if you're doing changes on input fields, to restart the timer (if it's on the front-end) or a simple pop-up could show up 1m before the end of the session. I guess it's more a suggestion if others had this issue as well.
    I'm sure doesn't happen very often. Cheers anyway

    Good idea. I think we've tried that but eh browsers act up a bit. So we took it out.

    Thanks again for the feedback
