Maybe this can work: [system.util.getInactivitySeconds - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.getInactivitySeconds)

Don't think it can work because I want to fire a script when tab is activated and your solution also require something to fire the system.util.getInactivitySeconds

You can have a view param that is bound to the system.util.getInactivitySeconds value. When it gets reset (or current value \< previous value) you can trigger your logic.
