How long is the idle time on Mosaic?
Mosaic has added idle time extensions to the MosaicAnywhere service. Idle time extensions are added at the end of your idle time at the 5 minute warning. You will be provided 5 extra minutes of idle time if at least 5 other remote desktop workstations are free, otherwise you do not get any extra idle time. At the end of every idle time extension, another idle time extension will be evaluated for you. When the total idle time reaches 1 hour, you will be logged out. This will allow you to stay logged on up to 60 minutes if there are 5 free workstations, and as long as your session time is being extended.
