Extension summary

Analyze keywords

A simple extension to prevent session timeouts on the Workday website.

This extension only works if you have an active Workday subscription, and a valid Workday account.

By default, the Workday session is configured to timeout within ten minutes, and the Workday user interface includes a number of overlay windows which hide the warning message that your session is about to timeout.

In testing, this extension has been found to reliably prevent your Workday session from timing out for a minimum of two hours, and up to a maximum of approximately eight hours. If your computer goes to sleep, or if Google Chrome is inactive for a significant period of time, the extension will no longer be able to keep your Workday session alive.

Release Notes:

v1.0.5 includes updated icons and improved error-handling.
v1.0.6 includes fixed extension icon (in the list of installed extensions).
v1.0.7 includes improvements to error handling.
v1.0.8 includes improved capability to keep the Workday session active, and basic notifications.
v1.0.9 includes fix for a bug that sometimes causes Workday to show NaN error.

User reviews

keeps workday from logging out, but I don't think it helps advance the timer since i believe it requires clicking around for it to progress.

I just installed it a day ago and so far I'm very pleased. It works as advertised, makes me very happy. If I may make a request/question: is there way to add another URL for other Workday tenants like Sandbox and Preview others (all start with the prefix of 'https://impl.workday.com)?
