| Staff Session Timeout Limit | Set the length of time the Staff Portal will automatically log out with no activity. The Timeout Limit can be adjusted from 5 minutes up to 8 hours. |
| Features | Select the Features the staff can use in the Staff Portal. These include Attendance, Skills/Levels, Time Clock, and Lesson Plans.

For example, to allow a staff person to not only view and print their schedules but also enter their time when they are accessing the Portal remotely, set Allow Remote Time Clock to Yes. The Launch the Staff Portal topic covers remote access in more detail. |
