Idle Session Management

With Idle Session Management inside NAV, you can specify Idle Client Timeout, Total Sessions for each user, and allocate Concurrent Client Access Licenses (CCALs) to group of users.

CCALs are based on the number of users accessing NAV simultaneously. And users have various requirements for NAV time usage. For example, Sales Order Processors always open NAV to enter sales every 10 minutes, whereas Purchasers sometimes access NAV for processing when they receive goods or invoices from vendors. Common practice that Purchasers keep NAV opening although they don't use it. As a result, CCALs are lost. Through Idle Session Management, you can set idle timeout to individual user such as 20 minutes for Purchasers, and 1 hour for Sales Order Processors. NAV will be closed automatically to release CCALs for other users.

Another usual situation when all CCALs are consuming, System Administrator cannot login NAV to stop some Idle Client Sessions. Via Idle Session Management, you can prevent it by assigning one CCAL for group of System Administrator and the rest for other groups.
