New Employee Dashboard: An Easier Way to Access the Essentials of Being a Heartland AEA Employee


The Agency is pleased to provide staff with a new and improved Employee Dashboard that provides you with an easier way to access the essential functions you need to be a Heartland AEA employee. One username and password and some behind the scenes magic make tasks such as requesting leave, professional travel, room reservations and Creative Services a snap! An improved user experience gives you more time to spend on your job.  

Getting Started 
A video and user guide will help support you as you transition to using the new Employee Dashboard
When you navigate to the new Employee Dashboard, you will be presented with the login page. If you are already signed into your Heartland AEA Google account, you can simply click on the Sign in with Google link, and you'll be in. If you're not signed in to Google, you will need to enter those credentials. Once you're logged in, you'll see a number of icons. These are links to various applications. For those icons that include an image of a key, login credentials need to be entered for that particular application the first time you click that icon. Once you have entered your credentials for that application, they are captured so you won't need to enter them again. Another great benefit of the new Employee Dashboard is that the agency VPN connection is not needed. 

The very first time you click on an icon that requires login credentials, you will be prompted to add a browser extension. The use of this extension has been approved by Heartland AEA leadership. The instructions to add the browser extension are found on the first page of the user guide.  

We strongly encourage you to take a few minutes to log into each of the following applications. Use the same credentials you use to access the current Employee Dashboard. By doing so now, you will never have to log into them again.  
  • Addendum Online 
  • Employee Online 
  • Event Scheduler 
  • Expense Online 
  • Leave Online 
  • Personal Calendars 
  • Staff Directory  
  • Travel/Professional Development Request 

If you have any questions or concerns about the new Employee Dashboard, contact Rod Howell, Information Systems Manager.
