Overview

Initial Setup
Adding a new facility node to NAN is a manual process. At the time that the facility is added to the NAN database an initial user will be identified and marked as a facility manager so that they may begin to add facility information and add additional staff who will then have access to the facility dashboard to assist with populating facility information.
