Checkout Expiration

Checkout expiration notifies users with a checked-out secret via their Secret Server inbox and inbox rules when a defined checkout period percentage has elapsed. For example, setting checkout expiration to 80% notifies users when 20% of the checkout interval remains.

This setting is available under "user experience" in the configuration page. To set checkout expiration:

  1. Go to the Admin menu item and click >>. The Admin slideout appears.

  2. Type configuration in the search text box and click the link when it appears below. The Configuration page appears.

  3. Click the User Experience link at the bottom of the page. The User Experience page appears:

  4. Click the Edit button.

  5. Click the Checkout Notification Threshold spinner to select or enter a notification threshold percentage between 0 and 99. This sets what percentage of the checkout period elapses before an expiration notification occurs. That is, if set to 70, a notification is sent when 30% of the checkout period is left.

  6. Click to select the Enable Secret Check Out Extension check box. The Max Check Out Extension Time setting appears. This sets the maximum time a secret check out can be extended in minutes. This does not include initial check out time, only the amount of time the check out is extended.

  7. Click the dropdowns to set the day, hours, or minutes.

  8. Click the Save button. The setting now appears on the read-only page.
