    In previous versions of Lawson, the user is returned to the screen they were using with their data intact after a timeout by re-entering their password.  Buyers using PO20 and Accounts Payable, using AP20 are frustrated with losing their PO and invoice data when they are interrupted.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    I entered an enhancement request for this (ER 9223).  In my opinion this is a defect, not an enhancement, since it worked perfectly in prior versions.

      We had this when we first went to v10. It was the timeout in Landmark - it was set to 1 hour and it defaulted over to S3. The buyers tend to have inbasket open as one of their screens so when one timed out they all did. I don't know what my IT did to fix this though.

        I think our situation is different since this is not related to a common in basket.  I opened a ticket with Infor and received the following response:

         

        I did some research and found that this had been reported as a defect before, but they did not revert the functionality. Here is the explanation:

        This was discussed with the teams involved in the investigation of this case which wrapped up today.

        Here are our clarifications to this issue's outstanding items:
        - The modal dialog login page was removed because the browser vendors themselves dropped the support for modal dialogs due to functionality issues and vulnerability risks (see references.docx for sources)

        - In order for a user to be redirected back to the form where the session time out is experienced upon re-logging back in, there will need to be an intrusive enhancement on Portal

         

        In other words, it appears this functionality was removed due to vulnerability risks.  Bummer....
