Did you know?  

The UCPath portal controls the timeout session of the PeopleSoft homepage.  Due to inactivity, PeopleSoft will timeout when the portal times out, even if you are actively working within the application.

If you close the UCPath portal window and actively work in PeopleSoft, your session will remain active. 

 

How Do I Avoid The Timeout?

  • Once you open PeopleSoft, close the UCPath portal window. This disconnects the relationship between the UCPath portal and PeopleSoft.
  • When a pop-up message appears on a Peoplesoft window stating “Your session is about to expire,” click the “OK” button to prevent PeopleSoft from timing out.
Session Timeout For UCPath portal
  • 60 minutes of inactivity for the UCPath portal dashboard
  • 20 minutes of inactivity for all self-service pages
