Getting Started
Logging In
All vendors have been issued a specific login that when used grants access to the Vendor Management Area. This is a special area where you have the ability to manage your individual clients, run billing reports or even set up other vendor admins.
The Vendor Dashboard
The Vendor Dashboard is a little different then the client or employee dashboard. If you recall, the dashboard is the first page you are taken too upon a successful login. For the vendor, the dashboard is split into two columns. Each column contains the main areas you have access too as a vendor.
Account Types
Vendor Admins
Vendor Admins are accounts that have the ability to login to your Vendor account and make changes to client information, run billing reports, etc. You have the ability to create as many Vendor Admin accounts as you need. In order to avoid the practice of sharing login information with others, it is considered best practice to create Vendor Admin accounts whenever needed. There are two types of Vendor Admins, 1) Super Admins and 2) Admins. The difference between the two is defined below.
- Super Admins
Super Admins have full access to every area of the Vendor account. This is considered the highest level of access. They can also create other Super Admins as well as other Admins. Due to the high level of access, it is recommended that only a small number of Super Admin accounts are created. If access needs to be granted to the Vendor Area, we recommend as best practice to set-up the account as an Admin.
- Admins
Admins have the ability to create sales rep accounts as well as manage client accounts. They cannot however create other admin accounts.
Managing Vendor Admins
Once you've determined the type of Vendor Admin you wish to create (Super Admin or Admin), proceed to the administration area for that type. For demonstration purposes, we'll show how to set-up an Admin account.
- Proceed to "Admins -> Create New VA Account" from the Main Navigation
