You will need your HPL Intranet password to access this link. Please contact the HPL IT Helpdesk, at 832-393-1570, if you don’t know your password.

There is a word document on the reference desk computer that shows a screen shot of the new way to do it.

I have also bookmarked the site on both reference desk computers as hpl Pharos Balances.
