Public Works roadway work update at BAC
Terrific discussion and Q&A at BAC meeting yesterday about storm water work being done from Lesner Bridge to Great Neck Road plus updates on infrastructure improvements to Pleasure House Road and Shore Drive Phase 3 and Phase 4 timelines.
Some SeeClickFix switch to VB Works questions answered.
From Information Technology Department:
Will SeeClickFix Account be automatically migrated to VB Works? Users will not automatically be migrated over to the new app, citizens will need to create new accounts.
Will custom maps created in SeeClickFix be automatically migrated to VB Works? No
Will current open SeeClickFix issues be automatically migrated to VB Works? SeeClickFix issues are not being migrated over to Salesforce, however they will continue to be worked and resolved in their system of record. (Editor’s comment: GREAT!)
What should SeeClickFix users do and when?
Users can signup for a Salesforce account today and start submitting requests via the updated app or web portal.
We haven’t heard back yet about Privacy questions about all the data Sales Force asks for to use the VB Works new system.
You have questions about SeeClickFix abrupt switch to VB Works? We don’t have answers.
We’ve been patiently waiting for feedback about the abrupt switch that happened last week. We’ve reached out to several people & added a Request using the Guest feature of VB Works and haven’t heard back yet.
A few of our questions are:
Will SeeClickFix Account be automatically migrated to VB Works?
Will custom maps created in SeeClickFix be automatically migrated to VB Works?
Will current open SeeClickFix issues be automatically migrated to VB Works?
What should SeeClickFix users do and when?
Will your office put out guidance about the switch?
We also have some questions about Privacy as the new company behind VB Works – Incapsulate, which is a subsidiary of Sales Force, asks for what appears to be an enormous amount of information to use VB Works. We could find no info about ThreeOneOneCapsule.
We’ve also asked about the details for each item Sales Force is requesting to use the VB Works app system.
We sincerely hope VB Works becomes as popular as SeeClickFix was!
If you have any feedback about the switch, please let us know!
SeeClickFix no more. Use new mobile app VB Works.
In the works since August ‘20, view Press Release, VB Works is new system to alert COVB of issues in your neighborhood.
We’ve been curious since last Thursday when apparently the switch from SeeClickFix was made.
Questions we have include if SeeClickFix issues will migrate to new system or if the data is gone. Do SeeClickFix accounts get migrated to new VB Works and if custom maps & automated alerts for certain locations can be customized. We’ll of course let you know when we know.
