SESSION TIME-OUT
The session expires automatically after 30 minutes unless you are interacting with the Server (e.g., hit “save,” open a “Help” window, navigate to and from your home page, etc.). If you are inactive, the session will expire. Each time you interact with the Server, the 30 minutes is reset.
Please note: Just typing text is NOT interacting with the Server, and unsaved work will be lost. A warning feature is enabled on any page with a text box when you type any key. An alert message will show at the 2 minute warning. The alert shows a countdown and warns, “unsaved text will be lost.”
"TRIGGERS" FOR NEXT STEPS
Actions by both Users and Reviewers trigger the licensure process. For example:
- Users click Submit PDP for Review when all three team members are confirmed to trigger PDP Review Team to have access to the PDP for Goal Approval
- Reviewers click Approve PDP when checklist items are all ‘yes’ to trigger the automatic creation of the DPI-required PDP Goal Approval Form in the User’s Archives
- Users click Continue to Next Phase after the required personal Annual Review is complete to trigger the next year in the license cycle and a snapshot of the PDP for the User’s Archives
Always read the Status and Alert bars to keep yourself informed and on track. Contact the Group Administrator from your home page if you need assistance.
Navigation Hints
- Always navigate from your Home Page – if you get ‘lost’ go back home and start from there.
- All links are blue (not underlined like some web applications).
- Pop-up windows should be closed with the button “Close Window” not your browser’s back button.
- Questions? Contact the Group Administrator from your home page.
