The timer will reset when the page changes, normally by navigating to a new page or saving information on that page. Please note that 'pop up' boxes and screens will not refresh the timer. You can click on the timer to manually reset the clock. If you use multiple tabs each tab will have it's own count down timer, it's important to make sure a tab does not time out.
