Web Portal Account Management


Info

Some of the features shown for Lab accounts are only applicable to version 2.1 or later.  However, the functionality of this page is otherwise the same for all supported versions of VetView before version 3.1.  For portal management for Lab users in VetView 3.1, please go to Lab Web Portal Account Management 3.1  and for portal management for Hospital users in VetView 3.1, please go to Hospital Web Portal Account Management 3.1.

The VetView Portal allows external vendor access to VetView.  As of VetView 2.0, the Portal is a separate installation from the main application, allowing you to have this on a different server that is linked to the external networks through your organization's firewall.  

Online access is managed in VetView using the Web Portal Account Management screen.  This screen is found under Navigation, in User Account and Setup Data.

Portal User Management Privileges

The privileges for the Web Portal Account Management screen are all found under the Portal User Management heading in the Role Management Screen.

For administrators, all of these role settings allow the full suite of features listed below.  You can also assign your client coordinators certain levels of these privileges to fit their specific job functions, such as modifying the client mappings or creating new users.

  • View Accessions will grant the user the ability to see all the accessions that were requested under their client account, including the status and the Accession report for finalized accessions.
  • View Accounting Transactions will grant the user the ability to see their accounting reports and invoices.
  • Allow Online Credit Card Payments should be used if your lab has an external payment processor and will accept payment of invoices online.  Otherwise, they must pay in person or by mail.
  • Submit Requests is new for Version 2.1 of VetView.  This option allows the lab client to send requests via a form in the portal, instead of having to send the sample with a paper request to your lab.  VetView anticipates that this new submission process should reduce rejected requests due to missing information or incorrect specimens. 

Click on the Save button in the window to link the accounts with the desired settings.  The newly linked lab account will appear under the Link Laboratory Client Accounts window.
