AM Features

This content applies solely to Award Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 24.2 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

The Award Management Solution contains a wide range of features that allow your organization to monitor, track, and execute the activities, actions, and workflows associated with your award contracts. The tables below provides a quick reference of the solution's available features by functional area.

Note: Only business users with the appropriate group membership can access and modify certain solution settings. This ensures that only a select few have access to sensitive processes and information.
