VSO Comprehensive List

In an effort to mitigate emails and contact to caseflow support team, the VSOs listed below need to be created.

OFO has instructed all field the organizations below to contact us for their organization URL. Product training materials and CSEM access guidance have already been distributed to listed below.

The intention is to have this information publicize within the VA Intranet for accessibility. Additionally, we would provide all access URLs created to field offices and BVA reps for distribution.

@laurjpeterson I believe OFO gave me the list of accredited VSOs which include National and Field, which is what I asked for assistance on. For instance, AMVETs - American Veterans and Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America are categorized as national. I clarified my header above.

[msj0nes]

@laurjpeterson and @lowellrex the IDs have been added to the list.

[lpciferri]

@lowellrex - updated with my proposed URL names

@msj0nes - i left a few q's in the table as well

[lowellrex]

Creating the field VSOs is blocked by #9647, but should be completed by the end of next week.

[lowellrex]

We can take advantage of the new Caseflow team management page at http://appeals.cf.ds.va.gov/team_management to create and update organizations like judge teams and VSOs. Currently only @marvokdolor-gov has access to this page, but we can get anybody access to that page when needed!

[marvokdolor-gov]

@msj0nes mind going into the table above and seeing if you can track down any answers for us please? Once I have those, we should be able to complete all the new teams!

p.s. I also need Participant IDs for those that have that field blank please.

[msj0nes]

@marvokdolor-gov we added the participant IDs from a data sheet provided by BGS. Im unsure the avenue to take for those BGS could not provide since most of the organizations were unsure of what a 'participant ID' is.

Closing this since all urls have been created.
