Tenant card and session

At the bottom of the navigation bar is the tenant card. It shows the logo or the name of your tenant and, under Session ends:, the time at which your session expires.

As long as you are working, the session extends itself and the time moves on. If you do not work for a while, the DocSecBox signs you out at the time shown. How long that takes is set in your profile under Automatic Logout.
