You should ensure that you exit the Empirica Signal application before closing your browser. If you close your browser without exiting, your session continues to run for some time before the automated timeout and may retain system resources unnecessarily.
You can exit the Empirica Signal application, however, while background processing jobs are running. Background processing jobs are not affected by your logout, and continue running after you exit the application.
If you logged in using your single sign-on username and password, exiting the Empirica Signal application may log you out of your single sign-on environment, or from Empirica Signal only, depending on your Empirica Signal configuration.
1. Click the down arrow next to your user name, visible in the upper right-hand corner of each page. Select Exit.
A message appears, indicating that you are logged out of the application.
If you logged in using your single sign-on username and password and your site administrator specified a custom logout page, that page appears.
2. To log in to Empirica Signal again, with the same or a different username, click the link provided on the logout page.
Note: From outside of the Empirica Signal application, your system administrator can specify the number of minutes before automated session timeout occurs for Empirica Signal users. The session timeout occurs if you have not performed any action within the time period, regardless of whether or not a job you initiated, such as a data mining run, is running in the background.
