SYMPTOM
The "Cancel this session's pending requests?" and "Remove the finished interactive jobs from History List" Web preferences setting does not work as expected. When a user logs out, these setting will allow the jobs to continue to run despite the user being logged out. The jobs cancel upon users log out of Strategy Web.
These settings are located at the project defaults level and the user level granted that the option is selected for "Show this option in User Preferences." They can be found in Strategy Web > Preferences > Project Defaults / User Preferences > Security.
CAUSE

ACTION
Add jobs to the History List. There are two ways to add a running job into history list:
