Are there others out there who would prefer Ariba's notification behaved similar to Oracle Peoplesoft's logout notification?
It seems in tabbed browsing that Ariba's pop-up within the tab/browser window is insufficient. In contrast, when Oracle/Peoplesoft is about to log out a user after X minutes of inactivity, a new---very small---browser window pops up and blinks to notify no matter which browser tab (or other application) the user may have active/in the forefront at a given moment. A separate-but-related enhancement submitted is that the inactivity time period should be customer-configurable rather than 30 minutes for all customers users. But that is apparently a much more difficult nut for Ariba to crack in its OnDemand environment.
