You can configure when Workday VNDLY sessions expire and time out due to inactivity. This is a compliance requirement for VNDLY to meet certain certification guidelines. By default, Workday VNDLY sessions are set to expire after 1,209,600 seconds or 14 days when the
Enable Session Inactivity Timeout
 check box isn’t selected. Configuring the session inactivity timeout option ensures that sessions end automatically once the specified inactivity period is reached. Upon session expiration or an inactivity timeout, users are required to provide their credentials again to access Workday VNDLY.
