Twice each day (at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.), the Vendor View system finds new, unarchived notices created since the last email, and sends a generic email to any non-fax vendor that has new notices. This email is sent from VendorView@ciminc.com to the email address(es) provided by each vendor at registration.
The subject of the email is “Vendor View: New Notices Available”, with this text:
Please log on to Vendor View to review your NEW NOTICE(s) from the following agencies:
• Agent: 55 – TEST AGENT Vendor: 123 –HAPPY HOME CARE

No participant information is provided in this email in order to protect participant privacy. Vendor View itself contains the participant information being shared.
Each vendor can have as many email addresses as needed to receive emails from Vendor View. CIM suggests that one person is assigned the task of monitoring Vendor View and seeing that appropriate information is delivered within the vendor agency. Other email addresses should be provided as back-up to this assigned person.
Note that it is not necessary to receive an email to review new notices. Notices are posted in Vendor View as soon as they are created by actions in MICIS or COMPASS. The purpose of the email is a reminder that there are new notices in case the vendor staff is not monitoring the web site.
