Changes to the UI

Transition to a new user interface

Starting with NSP Release 23.11, the user interface (UI) has changed to integrate previously individual applications into a more unified UI that is easily navigated from a main menu.

The functions delivered by some former applications are directly accessible via the new menu in a one-to-one mapping. For example, the former Artifact Administrator is now accessible via Artifacts. Other applications may now be accessible via multiple main menu items, based on their functionality. For example Network Supervision’s functionality is now available in Network Map and Health as well as Object Troubleshooting.

See Appendix A in the NSP Network and Service Assurance Guide for the Assurance application evolution.

Table 1-2, Menu access in NSP Release 23.11 and later lists the former applications, their new menu access, and their corresponding user guide documentation.

Please refer to User roles to help guide you through assigning NSP functions to user roles.
