# FAQs: Common Questions About Using Vim Connect

## Quick answers to Vim Connect User and Console Admin questions.

### **General Vim Connect**

**What is Vim Connect?** Vim Connect is a lightweight app that integrates with your EHR to enable access to clinical tools and insights, including core and third-party applications, directly in your workflow.

**Do I need to log into Vim separately?** No. Vim uses seamless login via your EHR. If your EHR supports it, you won’t need additional credentials.

**Is Vim Connect secure?** Yes. Vim is HITRUST Certified, HIPAA-compliant, and SOC 2 certified. [Learn more here.](https://getvim.com/technology-security/)

### **Onboarding Your Practice**

**How do I install Vim Connect?** Follow step-by-step guides for [Windows](https://knowledgebase.getvim.com/home/installing-vim-connect-on-your-pc-msi-installer?hsLang=en) or [Mac](https://knowledgebase.getvim.com/home/installing-vim-connect-on-a-mac?hsLang=en). For large deployments, Vim supports [GPO](https://knowledgebase.getvim.com/home/deploying-vim-connect-gpo?hsLang=en) and scripted RMM installs.

**What is an Organization Key and where do I find it?** It’s a unique identifier linking Vim Connect to your practice. Find it in the Console under the Organization tab.

**Can I install Vim Connect on multiple devices at once?** Yes. Use [Group Policy (GPO)](https://knowledgebase.getvim.com/home/deploying-vim-connect-gpo?hsLang=en) or RMM tools for bulk deployment.

**How do I update Vim Connect?** Updates are typically pushed automatically. If manual update is required, your IT team can re-install using the latest MSI or Chrome extension link.

---

### **User Access & Roles**

**Who are Vim Connect users vs. Console users?**

- **Vim Connect users** access tools inside the EHR.
- **Console users (Admins/Owners)** manage settings, user access, and app permissions.

**What’s the difference between Admin and Owner?** Owners are primary admins who first activate the account and agree to Vim's Terms of Service. Admins can help manage settings and users.

**What is an Auto-Created User?** A user account created automatically when someone launches Vim Connect in the EHR (if the setting is enabled).

**What does each user status mean?**

- **Created** – User added, hasn’t launched Vim
- **Live** – User used Vim in the last 30 days
- **Inactive** – User hasn’t used Vim in 30+ days
- **Pending** *(Manual login orgs only) -* The user was added but hasn’t yet set a password.
- **Activated** *(Manual login orgs only) -* The user set a password but hasn’t logged in.
- **Failed Login** – Unsuccessful login attempt

**Can multiple people be Console Admins?**Yes, multiple Console Admins are allowed. Others can be added as Admins

**How do I deactivate a user?** Go to Vim Console \> Vim Connect Users \> Select the three dots to the right of the user \> Select Delete User

### **Using Vim Applications**

**Which applications are included in Vim’s Core Apps?**

- Care Insights
- Clinical Data Exchange (CDE)
- Enhanced Eligibility
- Prior Authorization
- Order Assist

**How do I know if I have access to a specific app?** Ask your Console Admin or check Vim Connect in your EHR.

**Why isn’t the heart turning blue in my EHR?** This likely means there’s no patient-specific data available at the moment, or your user account has not been activated.

**Can I reposition the Vim heart icon?** Yes, directional arrows allow you to move the icon within your EHR.

---

### **Onboarding & Training**

**Who manages onboarding at our practice?** The **Practice Champion** (Console Admin) leads onboarding, coordinates with Vim, and supports long-term usage.

**Can Vim help train our staff?** Yes. Live training and Q&A are part of the onboarding process.

### **Support & Help**

**How do I get technical help?** Use in-app support or email support@getvim.com.

### **Changes, Compatibility, & Troubleshooting**

**Does Vim work on all browsers?** Mac installs require Chrome. Windows users access Vim via the installed MSI and Chrome.

**A user installed Vim but doesn’t appear in Console. Why?** Check the "Potential Users" tab. If Auto-Create is not enabled, they may be pending activation.
