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 updates 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.
LOG IN
To set up access: An individual subscriber's access to their secure, online account is added by a representative using the Portal tab of the subscriber's account. Account access can happen at the time of sign up prior to service being activated or after the service install. A valid email is required for sign up.
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.
