 * These settings are used for indicator on listing page on admin.
    The indicators
   are green, yellow and red. Please see the “Last Seen” column for the same.
 * Thanks.

 * Let me try one more time to answer the question.
 * In the “Last Seen” column, you can see the following indicator:
    1) Green – if
   user is active from the last 2 (Online Minute) minutes. Here 2 is Online Minute.
   2) Grey – if user is not active from the last 2-30 minutes. Here 2 is Online 
   Minute and 30 is Idle Minute. 3) Red – if user is logged out OR the user is inactive
   more than 30 minutes. Here 30 is Idle Minute.
 * You can manage the values of Online and Idle minutes from those settings.
 * Hope this helps.:)

 * Thanks, I got it.
 * As a suggestion, maybe you can include this text in the settings page…
