Setting Up Accounts - Full Guide

This article describes the necessary steps for Business Administrators (Admins) to get accounts set up in OvDx LIMs and get reports to the right people.  Adding Sales Groups, Sales Reps, and Provider Accounts allows you to set up and control access to the OvDx Portal.  The OvDx Portal is a separate website url (portal.ovation.io) that can give Sales Reps and Provider Contacts instant visibility to orders and patient reports.  The OvDx portal can also be configured to allow contacts from your Provider Accounts to place Online Orders that connect directly to your OvDx LIMs.

Adding a Sales Group and Group Manager (Optional)

What are Sales Groups? 

Sales Groups are optional in OvDx and can serve as a way to organize Sales teams and assign dedicated Group Managers to the team. If assigned, Group Managers can use the external Sales Portal to see the activity of all Sales Reps in the Sales Group. You can also create Sub Groups, whose activity is also visible by the Group Manager of the parent group.

Tip: Think of Sales Groups as territories or regions, and Sub Groups as states or areas within a territory or region

2. Click the green “Add Provider” button.

3. Enter the NPI# in the search box provided (the Provider name will appear automatically once a valid NPI# is entered).
