More user options on PMKeyS

By Lt-Col Greg Tolcher

The Personnel Systems (PS) Branch in DPE continues to develop PMKeyS Self Service (PSS), an on-line service that enables Defence personnel to view and, in some cases amend, data in their PMKeyS record.

Currently, PSS allows members to view the following information:

Personal details:

Leave details:

Later this year the following functions will also be introduced:

In consultation with the ADF and other Defence groups, PS Branch is continuing to develop PSS and will progressively introduce new features to improve the usefulness of this portal.
Recently, a link to DOMAIN, the on-line learning environment, was introduced into PSS and should be a useful service of benefit to the Army.

Examples of course content include:

For a while longer, access to DOMAIN will require a separate log-in. PS Branch is working towards implementing a single portal log-in and to make this training environment accessible from an icon on the front “Site Links” tab.

By July 9, PS Branch also plans to have automated the password reset process so that users will be able to generate a new randomly created password that will be automatically e-mailed to them. From then, only members without a recorded e-mail address will have to contact the Defence Service Centre. Notices will be distributed to advise when this new functionality is ready for release.

All members of the Army are encouraged to access both the PSS and DOMAIN services and use them to keep personal data current and to take advantage of the learning tools provided. In some cases, personal data can only be amended through your servicing orderly room or Military Personnel Administrative Centre (MPAC), for example, where a financial delegation exists. Should any data prove to be incorrect, but not accessible, members should inform their respective orderly room or MPAC.
