Field Description Keep session alive Keep the working session for a long time to avoid the time-out. There are 3 options: Never: The session will time out if the logged-in user does not do any action after a given period. In this case, there will be a message which asks the user to log in again.
On Demand: The session will time out to the application's requirement. If there is no request from the application, the session will time out after the given period that is similar to that of Never.
Always: The session will never time out even if the logged-in user does not do any action after a long time.
Show info bar by default Tick the checkbox to show the info bar of the porlet by default when the portlet is used in a page of the portal. The "Show info bar by default" option only takes effect on new porlets as from the time you select the checkbox rather than all portlets of the portal. In particular, after creating your new portal with the "Show info bar by default" option checked, newly created portlets of the portal will be displayed with the info bar by default. However, if you deselect the "Show info bar by default" option when editing the portal's configuration, the former portlets with the shown info bars are remained; meanwhile new portlets, which are created after this option is deselected, will be shown without the info bars.
