Set time-out for "user-procedures" (selections, layout etc.)

Barbara Mayrleitner

It would be really good for a system stability if there would be a possibility to set a time-out for layout-executions/selection-procedures caused by (normal) users.
It happens that users are doing "queries" which cannot be executed and they are leaving the screen e.g. because they see that it's not working - but the tasks are running for a very long time in the backend.. in our case till the server/services are getting restarted once a day (in the night) - but setting a time-out would reduce the quantity of senseless running tasks.
