Sessions and devices
Settings, then Security, then Active sessions. It is the list of every device your account is signed in on right now, and the place you end one from.
What a session is
One browser on one device that signed in and has not signed out. Each row names the device it can work out — "Mac · Chrome", "Android", "iPhone / iPad" — with the network address it was last seen from and how long ago it was last active. Your own row says This device; every other row has a Revoke button. Five rows to a page.
How long a session lasts was decided when it was created. Keep me signed in ticked gives it 30 days; unticked gives it 24 hours. Either way the clock restarts from the last time the device was used, so a machine somebody works on daily does not drop out mid-shift.
The list holds live sessions only. One that expired, or that you already revoked, is gone from it rather than sitting there greyed out.
Ending one
Press Revoke. The next time that device asks Wash Junkie for anything it is turned away to the sign-in screen. Nothing is lost — the orders are on the server, not on the phone.
Three things end sessions, and they differ in reach:
| What you do | This device | Other devices |
|---|---|---|
| Revoke a row | Stays signed in | That one is signed out |
| Change your password in Settings | Stays signed in | All signed out |
| Reset a forgotten password | Signed out | All signed out |
If a phone has gone missing, revoke its row and change your password. See If you forget your password.
The copy on the device
The dashboard keeps a working copy of the outlet on the device it is running on — orders, customers, payments and the figures behind your reports — so screens open on real data and keep working when the network goes. That is what makes working with no network possible, and it is the reason a shared machine deserves a moment's thought.
Signing out does not throw away work. Anything taken while the connection was down and not yet sent stays queued on the device and goes up when the network returns — an order written at the counter during an outage is not lost by someone signing out on top of it.
