• For the security and privacy of the student information, SIRAS will time you out about 1 hour of inactivity. Forms that are opened may lose any data that was not saved. SIRAS has a built-in reminder to save data while on a form. After a form has been opened for 15 minutes, a box will pop-up and prompt the user to save.

• Clicking on the Cancel button while on a form will not save any changes you have made to the form.

• Clicking the Back button on the webpage may log you out of SIRAS. Instead, use the Return to…. button to the right of the SIRAS icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

• It is best practice to log out of SIRAS by clicking the ‘Logout’ when stepping away from the computer. This will ensure the security and privacy of the student information. Also, it will eliminate losing data from timing out of the system.
