Access VSS Web

Listed below are the steps for logging into VSS:

1.     

  1.  Navigate to the VSS application (https://DNS.URL /vss).

  2. The Login screen is displayed. The user enters their VHA User ID and password.  

  3. Next, click Login:

·       Enter your VHA User ID in the VA Username text box

·         Enter your VA Network Password in the Password text box.

 

  1. If the user ID and password are correct:

·  The user is logged into VSS and the previously established permissions and authorized facility (s) are retrieved.

·   If the user is only authorized to a single facility, the System defaults to the authorized facility. The user will not have to select it upon login. The System recognizes this access and uses the selected facility in all subsequent functions.

·  If the user is authorized to access multiple facilities:

o   If the user has previously selected a default facility, the user will not have to select a facility upon login. The System defaults to the specified default facility and uses this facility in all subsequent functions.

o   If the user has not previously selected a default facility, the user needs to select the facility he wishes to work in during the login process. The System then uses this facility in all subsequent functions.

o   If the user does not have a default facility on file, the system recalls the last facility visited and highlights that facility the next time the user logs in.

 

NOTE:  The system automatically logs a user out after 15 minutes of inactivity.  A warning message displays, counting down from 30 seconds until a user is logged off the application.  A user may click the OK button to stop the countdown and continue working.  If the system automatically logs off, any work in progress will not be retained.
