Managing Sessions
Understanding Session Settings in Amego.
Sessions have the most complex settings of any element within Amego, but often most of these are set in the EMS system that is upstream from Amego in your events architecture.
Each setting is explained below but note that if the setting exists in your EMS you should make the edit there, as any change in Amego that is integrated to your EMS will be overwritten.
