One possible way:

When-Timer-Expired (30sec)

---

if :global.inactive = 'Y' then

   :global.inactive_count := to_number(:global.inactive_count) + 1; else

   :global.inactive := 'Y';
   global.inactive_count := '0';
end if;
if global.inactive_count > 10 (or whatever) then

   exit_form(no_validate);
end if;

On all other user activated triggers

---

:global.inactive := 'N';
