In previous versions of Lawson, the user is returned to the screen they were using with their data intact after a timeout by re-entering their password. Buyers using PO20 and Accounts Payable, using AP20 are frustrated with losing their PO and invoice data when they are interrupted.
Anyone else have this issue?
I entered an enhancement request for this (ER 9223). In my opinion this is a defect, not an enhancement, since it worked perfectly in prior versions.
I think our situation is different since this is not related to a common in basket. I opened a ticket with Infor and received the following response:
I did some research and found that this had been reported as a defect before, but they did not revert the functionality. Here is the explanation: This was discussed with the teams involved in the investigation of this case which wrapped up today. Here are our clarifications to this issue's outstanding items: - The modal dialog login page was removed because the browser vendors themselves dropped the support for modal dialogs due to functionality issues and vulnerability risks (see references.docx for sources) - In order for a user to be redirected back to the form where the session time out is experienced upon re-logging back in, there will need to be an intrusive enhancement on Portal
In other words, it appears this functionality was removed due to vulnerability risks. Bummer....
