Opening multiple windows or tabs within a window and leaving a window or tab idle (no user activity) will time out your session in the middle of a transaction.

PeopleSoft session timeouts differ across the SF Employee Portal systems.  Please refer to the guide below to view the session timeout for each system.  If you are logged into multiple systems, the system with the shortest idle limit will trigger session timeouts in all open systems, regardless of their idle limits.
