This is what i found on techsupport :

How to logoff Dashboard without the Banner Links?
Solution:
If you are planning to remove the banner link and want to create a button to
logoff this is the request the logoff calls:

/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_LOGOFF&

Now as far as closing browser window, this depends on how the window was
opened.
1) If the window is a popup (launched from a parent window using window.open(
) method, then you should probably call the Logoff URL. Then you can call
window.close()

2) If the window is the main window, you should also call the Logoff URL but
be careful when calling window.close() because the browser will alert you
if you really wanna close the window (this is how it works in IE/FF, etc.)

or

You can edit the banner.html file located under the worp_html directory for
the view you wish to modify and make it simple. Set the background color to
white and then specify the bannerHeight in the profile.prf file for the Logoff
link. If you decide to modify this you will need to go back to the Viewbuilder
/Edit Content /Look and preview the changes for the new template.



Hope it helps,

Peter

Since i need the logoff option without the use of banners .. Do i need to choice the background2 option to make it white color ? and i find bannerHeight = 105 in profile.prf.. wat value can be changed..

And i would like to know, How the logoff option can be got when we do these changes.. Could you please explain me the concept behind this...

1. you can minimize de height of the banner and gave it a white background , just large enough to display the logoff link

OR

you can create a button on your reports

that

calls

http://servername/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_LOGOFF&

that being the url to logoff from the dashboard without using the logoff link

In the same vein, has anyone figured out how to cause the logoff if the user simply closes the browser? I'm not a big fan of having to retrain a user to press "logoff" when they're done using an application -- and we're consistently seeing them just hit the 'x' on the browser when they're done. Not really a huge problem -- but it does leave them logged in according to viewbuilder and you can't change their default views, etc.

We're getting by -- but would be a nice solution if anyone has it.

If you have users that 'X' out of the browser. You can apply the jsp that will bypass having to login to the dashboard next time you go back in. You can review more information under the following URL:

Yeah, we've actually got that applied already -- but that really only helps when the user logs in the NEXT time. It simply bypasses the message they get that they're already logged in by resetting their prior session. (More of a workaround IMO).

What would really solve the problem is to automatically close the session regardless of if they hit 'x' or "Logoff".

You can detect the closing of a web browser window with the JavaScript onUnload Event Handler. Take a look at this for starters:

http://www.codetoad.com/javascript/miscellaneous/onunload_event.asp

There's also the onbeforeunload Event Handler.

Here's an example HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<BODY onUnload="alert('closing');">
test unload
</BODY>
</HTML>
