Form Fields¶

Options Tab¶

• Logout Redirection Page Select or create the page the user will be redirected to after ending their current session by logging out. The default is to stay on the same page.

Tips¶

• A user may be viewing a restricted access page on logout so should be redirected to a public access page. Otherwise the user may be redirected to a login page, which can be confusing.
