Hi All,

Does anyone know how I can change the following command settings in ASDM?

vpn-idle-timeout 30
vpn-session-timeout 720

Thanks

I did a search for the first command in this document and it gives some info. Its an older version but maybe it's in the same place. Either way it should help you at least get started. HTH
Selected ASDM VPN Configuration Procedures for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series, Version 5.2 - Configuring Group Policies [Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager] - Cisco Systems

vpn-idle-timeout - Time in minutes that a VPN connection can be idle (no traffic) before it is terminated.
vpn-session-timeout - Maximum time in minutes that a VPN connection can be established before it is terminated, doesn't matter if there is traffic or not.

Configuration - Network Client Access - Group Policy - Open More Options
3rd to last is the vpn session timeout
2nd to last is the idle time out

This should be the same for 6.x+

As the Tunnels are IPSec Site-to-Site, I cant seem to find this option in "Site-to-Site VPN" however I can see it in Remote Access. Any ideas?

You would only set the lifetimes of isakmp and ipsec, there is no idle timeout for a site to site, it only gets built when it receives interesting traffic.
