# POS Auto Logout Feature

The POS has an auto log out feature. If no one touches the screen during a set period of time, it will automatically log out and show the Venue PIN screen. To set the duration:

1. On the POS, go to **Settings**.
2. Under **Other**, select **Auto logout**.
3. Select the duration you prefer.

This feature allows permissions to constantly be updated because users are logging in and out constantly.

## Auto Logout for Sensitive Flow

Sensitive flows are defined as flows where auto-logout could result in lost progress or data. This includes:

* creating an order
* editing an order
* completing a voucher purchase

When the POS screen is within a sensitive flow, a longer duration for the auto logout can be set. 

1. On the POS, go to **Settings**.
2. Under **Other**, select **Auto logout for sensitive flow**.
3. Select the duration you prefer.

When the screen is in any other screen aside from the mentioned sensitive flows, the standard auto logout duration is applied.
