System Login

Like most software applications, AMS360 is secured and only individuals having a valid User ID and Password are given access to the system. The user ID and password are assigned as part of Employee Setup. Login IDs can be upper or lower case and can include letters or numbers. Passwords are subject to certain design rules. See Change Password for more information.

When you open AMS360 you will see a Login page requiring an Agency No., User ID and Password to access the application. Your agency administrator will provide this information to you.

Once logged in, you do not have to log in again unless you receive a Session Timeout or you exit the system.

Login Failures

If you forget your user ID and password, do not attempt to guess at the correct information by repeated login attempts. As a means of discouraging unauthorized user intervention, there is a limit of 5 failed login attempts. If you exceed this limit, you will not be able to log in for a 20 minute period.

To request a lockout override or assistance with login problems, contact your agency administrator.
