Timers

Configure the inactivity timers for the user interface presented at the device. Timer values are in seconds. Click Timers on the Advanced pane of Administration Console to open the Configure Timers window.

All the timers have a range 0 - 36.000 seconds, that is, 10 hours maximum.

Only numeric numbers are allowed for the timers. Zero (0) implies that the timer is disabled.

The timers are affective as soon as the Session Logon/Main Form is displayed.

Description

System forms

Configures system forms:

  • Session Logon: Default is 30 seconds.
  • Main: Default is 60 seconds.
  • Scan More: Default is 120 seconds.
  • Encryption: Default is 60 seconds.
  • Advance File Naming: Default is 60 seconds.
  • Additional Fields: Default is 60 seconds.
  • System Dialogs: Default is 30 seconds.
  • Redirect: Default is 30 seconds.

Connector forms

Configures Connector forms. By default, the timer defined in a Connector form is overridden by the values in the Connector forms category. If you want the timers defined in a Connector form to override, check this feature. If checked, and the Connector form does not have a timer defined, the timer in the previous window are added automatically.

  • Connector forms: All Connector Forms - applies to all Connectors. Default is 60 seconds.
  • Connector dialogs: All Connector Dialogs - applies to all Connectors. Default is 30 seconds.
  • Use Connector timers: Set to True if you would like the timer defined in a Connector (if present) to override the previous values.

Auto restart ShareScan Manager

Automatically restarts ShareScan Manager:

  • Time: Sets the time when the ShareScan Manager should restart automatically.
  • Frequency: Sets the day when the ShareScan Manager should restart automatically. If this is configured to "Every <name of weekday>", the first restart happens only after the first elapsed Sunday.
  • Enabled: Enables/Disables the automatic ShareScan Manager restart. If set to "No" (disabled), the Time and Frequency options are grayed out. In case of numerous or long background jobs, ensure that the Auto Restart option is disabled to prevent the possibility of losing the background jobs.

When this setting is enabled in a load balancing environment, also configure the "AutoRestartOffsetMinutes" registry setting with different values on all nodes to facilitate non-simultaneous ShareScan Manager restarts. This registry setting defines a time interval in minutes that determines the time offset of the automatic ShareScan Manager restart relative to the "Auto restart ShareScanManager" timer setting.

  • Key name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Kofax\ShareScan\ShareScanManager
  • Value name: AutoRestartOffsetMinutes
  • Type: string
  • Possible values: Integer numbers with "+" or "-" prefix. "+" can be omitted. If the calculated restart time is not on the same day as defined by the "Auto restart ShareScan Manager" timer setting, then the value is ignored.

In order for ShareScan to observe the changed values of the "AutoRestartOffsetMinutes" registry setting or the "Auto restart ShareScan Manager" timer setting, the ShareScan Agent service must be restarted on each node after modifying either of these settings.

Save

Saves the changed data and closes the dialog.

Cancel

Cancels the configuration and closes the dialog.

Defaults

Set to Yes if you would like to restore to default timers that overwrite your existing settings.

If the client is already displaying any of these forms, a refresh code is sent out to the clients to get the form with the new timer values.

Manager restart is not required.
