Which action correctly allows you to switch between agencies you have access to while logged into HMIS?

• A. Use the drop-down near your name in the top-right corner to select another agency.
• B. Log out and log in again with a different agency.
• C. Clear your browser cache.
• D. Click Help and switch agencies.

Answer: (A)

Switching agencies in HMIS is done from the user menu in the top-right corner. Using the drop-down near your name to select another agency keeps you in the same session and loads the data and permissions for that specific agency, so you see the correct records and fields for the organization you choose. It’s a quick, built-in way to move between agencies without losing your place or having to re-enter credentials. Logging out and logging back in would work but is disruptive and unnecessary for simply changing agencies. Clearing the browser cache doesn’t switch agencies; it only affects stored data and performance. The Help menu is not typically the place to switch agencies, so it wouldn’t reliably change the data you’re viewing.
