How to Link or Delink an Application With Your AMS Homepage

The AMS homepage presents to every user a minimum set of standard applications to which they have access. However, there are many other applications that can be launched from the AMS and to which authorized users can link their profile. In addition, a user is also able to delink (remove) any unwanted application links from their homepage.

Note: You are only able to link applications to which you have access at the time you begin the linking process.

  1. Log into AMS at https://ams.hhs.gov. For quick and easy access to your applications, add this page to your browser favorites or create a desktop shortcut.

  2. On the AMS homepage, select the "Link/Delink Applications" tab or click on the "Customize your list" hyperlink.
