Session Timeout
Accessing any feature of the Testing System creates a new session. Each session is allotted a certain period of inactivity before expiring. This time period depends on the server session timeout setting. The time remaining in the current session appears by the session timeout indicator located at the bottom right of the screen.
Two minutes prior to the expiration of the session, a message appears indicating that the session will expire. Upon session expiration, the user cannot save any information from that session. All session data will be lost.
Precedence / Organization Hierarchy
Precedence is a fundamental concept that must be understood to take full advantage of Expere IE. Precedence provides the infrastructure for the following:
- Utilize base Expere Knowledge Base content (language, rules, etc.)
- Supersede base Expere Knowledge Base or other parent\ancestor organization content at a particular org level and its descendents
- Create custom content for use at a specific org level and its descendents
Several organizations may exist in an enterprise and relate to each other in a hierarchical fashion. Precedence is the expression of that organization hierarchy in the Expere IE system. Wolters Kluwer Financial Services is always at the top of the hierarchy and the financial institution and suborganizations (e.g., lines of business) are below, as below.
Operationally, precedence works to override content from the top (parent) to the lower (child) organizations. For example, all base content fragments that might be included in a document are attached to the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services precedence level and may be overridden at any other level in the hierarchy. If Organization 2 overrides a particular content fragment, documents assembled in the context of Organization 5 or Organization 6 will incorporate the override rather than the base version of that fragment, but organizations 4, 9, and 10 would be unaffected.
Each organization in the precedence hierarchy is identified by a Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID). Callers of the Expere IE API must be aware of the precedence hierarchy and the associated IDs, as an organization ID is a required parameter of several API methods. Methods for retrieving the precedence hierarchy are also available, see ListAllOrganizations.
