Its default value will be 0, and toggled to 1 when Timeout occurs. You need to define that variable in Project, Variables. That variable is a Boolean with only two possible values (0/1).

Variable: is an optional field, but was needed in this case(see below).Since the timer should not be visible for the present use case I preferred a transparent background. Background: I unchecked this option which would show the image of a clock.I marked three fields in this screenshot: In a normal situation you can have a message popping up after the end of the counting, but in this case it was not needed. You need to define the amount of time (here 3 minutes 0 seconds) for the timer, and whether you want to count down or up. When you insert a Timer interaction, you’ll have to define the properties in this dialog box: You can open this course in a scalable version using this link, or you can watch the embedded non-scalable one below. Try to be patient on at least one slide to let the 3 minutes elapse and see the course automatic exit.

Of course it is perfectly possible to edit that duration, or even have a different duration for each slide as you’ll see in the described setup workflow. In this case the course will be exited on each slide if it is displayed for more than 3 minutes. I used one of my previous projects to show the result of the proposed workflow. That caused issues due to the LMS when retaking a new session for that course. Summarized: the course should be exited automatically when a slide is displayed longer than a certain time, because it means that the learner probably disappeared without closing the course. This blog is due to a user request on the Adobe forums, have a look at this link. However it can be used in other situations. In that situation the interaction is often timed for the rest of the project. That interaction is meant in the first place to show the learner the exact time he spent on a course.
