Nano Feature List

This topic lists the features and functions available in Nano.

Analysts may see a subset of these functions, dependent on the Security Roles assigned them by the system administrator.

To perform functions not included in this list, analysts must use ASM Core.

Nano is not available for Users and External Contacts, who should continue to use the Self Service Portal. An analyst who also has User or External Contact selected in their person record can still log into Nano and will be presented with the same options as other analysts in Nano with the same Security Roles.
