# CPRS Time Out

If a program has a time out and it is idle for a specific amount of time, it will be closed. A time out ensures that a record can be accessed by ot hers who might need it if someone has opened the record, but is not using it.

IRM can set a different time out or idle value for CPRS (such as 10 minutes) through a CPRS GUI parameter. If CPRS is open but not used for the time specified in the parameter, CPRS will display the dialog informing you that it is going to close in the number of seconds IRM set, count down to zero, and then close.

To keep CPRS running, select Don't Close CPRS.

To close CPRS immediately, select Close CPRS.

If only one CPRS session is open, the dialog looks like this:

If multiple sessions are open, the dialog looks like this, including the identification of which session is about to close:

Because CPRS makes the sessi on that is about to close active, users need to make sure they are in the correct chart after the user responds to this dialog.
