Technical Help
- Firefox is the recommended browsers for use with MyHR. Please use an up to date version of the browser, appropriate for your systems/device. There is no charge to install or use Firefox.
- Google Chrome users may experience a "page expired" message while using MyHR. If you see "page expired" while using MyHR on Google Chrome, please use or .
- Internet Explorer users may experience pop-up security warnings when using MyHR. If you see these warnings using IE, please see .
- Performance problems have been reported when using Firefox 4.0, with MyHR. Please try a newer version of Firefox.
- When using MyHR on Apple Mac computers, some versions of Safari may produce errors. If you experience difficulties using Safari, please install and use Firefox for Mac.
- Since PeopleSoft is a web-based system, you do not need any special software to access MyHR when you are off campus. You can access the system from any computer that is connected to the Internet—and you do not need to use a VPN.
- Yes, simply click on the Return to MyHR link.
- When working on the Internet, your browser keeps a copy of the pages you visit (in cache) so that the next time you visit them, the browser can load them to your computer in less time.
- You should clear your cache regularly for two reasons. First, having a page in cache can sometimes cause a conflict with a page that you are trying to view. (If you suspect this may be the case, go into your browser options, clear the cache, close the browser, then re-open the browser and try again to view the page.) Secondly, having a large number of files in your cache will slow down your browser and take up space on your hard drive.
- PeopleSoft often uses pop up windows to display information you request. If your browser is set to block pop up windows—and most are set that way by default—then PeopleSoft will not work properly. If you click on a button or a link and nothing happens, you probably need to adjust your pop-up blocker settings. It is possible to leave your pop up blocker turned on (to protect you from intrusions from other Web sites), while adjusting it so that pop up windows open properly when you are in PeopleSoft. For example, you can allow pop ups for my.csueastbay.edu.
- If you are using Internet Explorer, you may receive a security warning asking whether you want to display nonsecure items. This does not represent a security threat—the page you are trying to view is a secure page. There are several options for dealing with this warning such as allowing Secure and Non-Secure Items for specific information. Please see .
Internet Explorer has a limited text resizing feature.
To resize text or ignore text size in Internet Explorer, you can do the following:
- Point to Tools on the menu bar.
- Point to Internet Options.
- Point to Accessibility.
- Choose "Ignore font sizes" and press OK (other options include "ignore colors" which helps users with visual impairments/color blindness).
- Now if you want to resize text, you can choose View menu, point to Text size, and choose your preferred size (e.g. Largest).
To print multiple page of a report using the FireFox browser, place the cursor over the report and right click, then select This Frame > Print Frame.

Make sure 'The selected frame' is selected, then click OK.

Click on FILE, go to NEW PRIVATE WINDOW like below. Then, in that Private window, go to my.csueastbay.edu to log in. In this way, the browser won't keep your cache.
