Logout Issues

This is really a "cosmetic" change request...

1) I was originally going to write a request for including "Logout" link/button within Amahi web dashboard UI.
Before writing that I decided to do a search if such request already exist, and than look "one last time" around the interface to see if I missed it.

Well... I did miss it... It's right there at the very bottom next to the "Live Help | Forums". Which may actually be a perfect example why it may be a good idea to move it to a "more prominent" spot within the UI. Perhaps in the upper right corner next to "Setup | Help | Apps" ?

2) In any case, a second issue is closely related subject.

Most web interfaces that require Login also will do Logoff after specified time of inactivity. Perhaps such functionality could be added to a list of future improvements to web dashboard. I guess placing check box and text box / pull-down for specifying desired time period within Settings tab would be most sensible.

very good points, sir!

the autologout functionality is actually implemented, we just need to expose it sensibly.

any time we expose something to the UI we analyze it a bit.
we probably should expose it only when advanced settings is on.

would you be so kind as to file a feature request? (login first, file a new issue under platform, then "feature")
