Right now AMLs (Approved Manufacturer Lists) are handled into the PartNavigator, which means that the PartNavigator is responsible to understand every type and format of AML. It is an extra burden on it to handle different formats of AML as it slows down the core functionalities like searching of parts and BOM creation. With the help of AMLNavigator we want to eliminate this burden from PartNavigator.

AMLNavigator is a tool to manage AMLs. It encapsulates all the complexities of AML management. Its basic function is to merge multiple AML files into one AML database that can be understood by PartNavigator. It fetches the data from different AML files and stores it into the AML DB according to user specific attribute mapping. It can also be configured to repeat these steps at a specific interval of time using the customizable scheduler.

AMLNavigator is used by administrators or power users. Design engineers are only allowed to use the output of AMLNavigator.
