# How To: Set up Inactivity Timeout Sessions in IBM Planning Analytics

For security reasons Planning Analytics has a built in time out session.

Your Planning Analytics session will time out if there's no activity for a set period of time. When this happens, you will be logged out and you will have to log back in again

The time out session can be changed to suit your needs. The procedure below sets out the necessary steps needed.

To set an inactivity timeout:

1. Click the **Administration**tile on the Planning Analytics Workspace home page.
2. Click the **Features and Configuration**
3. Click the **Configuration**
4. Click the **Inactivity timeout**configuration parameter.
5. Use the **Hours**and **Minutes** controls to set an inactivity timeout period. The minimum timeout period is 30 minutes and the maximum period is 24 hours
