I have a similar question, but probably a different request than the initial post’s author.
When we use the system.perspective.logout() tied to a button action the whole application reloads (as if you refresh the Chrome window) which takes a second or two.
When the activity timeout (as shown by the post above) logs out, it does so “silently” and the user is logged out with without the screen going through the whole “refresh” and “loading” look.
Is there anyway to get that “silent” version when using the script tied to a button action? It also makes me wonder if this is possible can the logging in also be more “silent” and quicker than having to refresh the whole application? It makes the login/logout system a little cumbersome as it is right now. It’s somewhat related to my other post: [IGN-686] - Return to application from Login Screen.
