You can stay logged on to the MLS for an unlimited period of time, as long as you are actively working in the system. If you stop working in the MLS (i.e., stop clicking any buttons) but do not log off, the system will display a notification 2 minutes before it automatically logs you off. Typically the maximum inactivity time allowed on the MLS is one hour. So each time you click a Submit button, the one-hour time period is extended.
A "Session Timeout" countdown continuously displays in the lower left portion of the MLS. This countdown allows you to see how much time is left before the system automatically logs you off (it is automatically renewed each time you click Submit).
NOTE: Your browser may be set up to automatically disconnect your Internet connection after a specific number of minutes of inactivity. If this happens, your computer may appear to be still logged on to the MLS, although the software does not function. Please check your Internet connection, reconnect, and log on to the MLS again. (If you do this within an hour, you may receive a warning that your agent ID is already logged on to the system, so just click "Continue" to start a new logon session.)
