| Keyboard Key | Action |

Expiration (Automatic Page Expiration)
Automatic Page Expiration
When enabled, the presentation will automatically perform a specified action if no user interaction (mouse click or key press) occurs within a defined period.After x Second(s)
Set the number of seconds of inactivity before an action is triggered.Return to Page
Specify which page to return to when the expiration time has been reached.This is typically used to return to a home or welcome page after a user has left the interactive presentation.
Tip
Setting expiration properties is especially useful for interactive kiosks to ensure that the presentation resets to a default page when no user is interacting.Remarks
- If Enable Navigation by Using Keyboard Keys is turned on, page durations still apply.
For example, if a page is set to display for 30 seconds and no keys are pressed, the system will automatically switch to the next page when the duration ends. - If Synchronize Viewers is enabled for a presentation, interactivity functions such as keyboard navigation and automatic page expiration will no longer work, since the presentation must remain in sync across all displays.
