Changed
This page describes the basic use and navigation features of e-GGRT that are common to all e-GGRT pages.
Please note that all e-GGRT sessions end after 15 minutes of inactivity. e-GGRT will generate a 5-minute warning message before automatically ending your e-GGRT session. If your session is ended due to inactivity, any unsaved data on current page will be lost.
