Okay, but doesn't sound quite right in English. :) This sounds better in English:
| | Show simplified logout process
or
| | Show simplified logout process dialog
or, because Calvin :) dislikes verbosity:
| | Show logout process dialog

Verbosity is bad when it inflicts ambiguity. In this case I think we need need to be more verbose so we can be very specific about what we are showing. Unfortunately often I see very ambiguous settings that do not describe very well what they do. This is probably because people who are writing code are not usually technical writers or documenters. Those people would be better suited to picking names and config option titles.
We need to be unambiguous, and do it by being terse.
