Unwanted switch to log-in screen.

Is there somewhere else in system preferences in addition to "Energy Saver" being set at "never" to set so that the machine doesn't revert to the log-in screen after a period of no use? I want to keep the current application open indefinitely.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
