 Main Path for Using the Timeout Feature
- The user's session becomes idle. 
 - Oracle Self-Service E-Billing times the amount of inactivity and logs out the user from the application after a specified period of time (the default is 15 minutes). 
 - When the user selects an action in the application, Oracle Self-Service E-Billing responds with a timeout logout page with a message and link to log back in.
