ACSP Suggestion 2013.29: Improve ARIN Online Form Time-Out Behavior

Suggestion

Author: Owen DeLong   
Submitted On: 06 November 2013

Description:

Bug Report: Timed-out ticket forms are not graceful.

To reproduce:

  1. Log into ARIN Online
  2. Track Tickets
  3. Select an open ticket and bring up its details.
  4. Walk away from the browser long enough for the session to time out.
  5. Come back, the ticket is still on the screen and no asynchronous notification of the session timeout is presented.
  6. Not realizing that the session has timed out, enter comments for the ticket into the text box and press submit.

Expected result: A) The comments are accepted and then I am logged out of the ticket system for inactivity, or, B) the comments are buffered and I must log into ARIN online again to validate their submission

Actual result: I am dumped back to the logged-out state, all of my text is lost, and I have to log in, find the ticket, and retype my comments from scratch.

Timeframe: Immediate

Status: Closed   Updated: 23 September 2019
