This article explains how to choose whether the Cato Client shows a connection timer on the home page.
Overview
By default, the Cato Client home page shows how long the user has been connected. You can hide this timer for all the users in your account.
The setting applies to the Client home page only. Users can still see when the session started in the Statistics tab of the Client.
