Alma's session timeout feature recognizes user activity in Analytics and extends the Alma session to prevent a timeout while the user is active in Analytics. This means that if the user is working in Analytics during an Alma session, their session remains active without interruption. Once a user's session in Alma is about to end, Alma runs a check to verify if the user was active in Analytics within the last hour. If active, Alma extends the session until the next session's end cycle and runs the check again. If no activity in Analytics, the session ends.
