Many enterprise security policies require applications to timeout after a period of inactivity. Airtable currently doesn’t provide this functionaly; instead it offers a fixed web session length.

Enabling this means Airtable users get logged out in the middle of their work (they could be presenting, in the middle of updating a formula, or deep in analysis). If you’re using the Airtable app and have multiple windows open, all of your Airtable windows close out when you log in again.

Please update this feature to align to other SaaS products - thanks!

Hello ​@James_McElroy,
Agreed—an inactivity‑based timeout would prevent disruptive logouts and better align Airtable with enterprise standards.

Best Regards,
