Portal

portal

The Subscriber Portal is a secure online site where a subscriber can log in to manage parts of their account including payments, services, contact information, tickets, etc. 

  • Log In
  • Reset Password
  • Change Password
  • Portal Home
  • Calendar
  • Contacts
  • Invoices
  • Payment Receipts
  • Recurring Payments
  • Services
  • Tickets

The Portal is built to be a slimmed-down version of Vision's internal system to speed up the ease of navigation and to avoid the need for representatives to learn a new or different site. 

The Portal utilizes commonly-used design elements and features to maximize predictability with navigation elements. It is designed to be mobile-first to ensure the subscriber's experience is seamless on any device. Subscribers do not need to download a separate app on their device. 

Every portal site is set up to match the branding styles of each Vision client, including company logos and colors. 

Any update made on the account by the subscriber in the Portal, such as payments, services changes, contact information, etc., is marked as a record on the subscriber's account history under the ALL tab for reference by customer service and tech support teams. 


Learn where the Subscriber Portal is managed and how you can resend the verification email to a customer.


Log In 


To set up access: An individual subscriber's access to their secure, online account is added by a Vision User using the FAB on their Subscriber Account. Click on the Add Portal User icon and fill in the new user information. The Portal tab on the subscriber's account will display the portal users. Account access can happen at the time of sign up prior to service being activated or after the service install. A valid email and username is required at sign up. 

Customers can also create a Portal User Account when using the Public Shopping Cart. Having them create a Portal User Account when they sign-up for a service is an additional feature available in the shopping cart. You can disable, make optional, or require this feature via Service Area Management.

To ensure identity: A verification link is sent to the email address set up on the account which expires after five days of being sent to the subscriber. Verified subscribers will now have 24-hour access to their account.
