Overview

The Facility Information page on the NAN portal enables facility managers, staff, and directors to manage and publish details about their NMR facility and instruments. This page acts as a content management interface, and all designated staff members have permission to edit facility-related content across the Facility Dashboard.

Facility staff can enter:

  • Long Name and Short Name of the facility
