Announcement – Deactivation of Unused User Accounts (July 2018)

On Friday June 29^th, 2018, any User Login Accounts for users who have not logged in to SAMS in the past three months or longer (i.e. users who have not logged in since March 1^st, 2018) will be deactivated. We will not deactivate users whose accounts have been created since May 1^st, 2018. Please share this notice with any co-workers at your organization who may be SIMS AGD users.

Keep your User Login Account Open: If you or a user at your organization has not opened SAMS since March 1^st, 2018, but needs to maintain access to the SAMS application, please login to the Mediware portal and open SAMS.  That's all you need to do! We recommend that every user take this opportunity to review their password reset questions & answers at this time.

Rebranding of Login & Portal Pages to Mediware

Effective today, the Login and Portal pages used for SAMS access look different -- they now show the Mediware logo instead of the Harmony logo.

This reflects the acquisition of Harmony by Mediware in June 2014.  View Mediware's press release dated June 11, 2014.  No functional changes to SAMS are expected, and users will continue to login at login.harmonyis.net

The AGD User Guide has not yet been updated with these screenshots; it will be updated in the near future.
