KollabNet Navigator lets you explore and navigate through DesignMaps, without having a copy of KollabNet Studio. It also lets you see PDM databases as DesignMaps, rather than hierarchical trees. You view the actual database, not a local copy, so that what you see is always the up-to-date version of the data structure. This saves you time and money:

Benefits

• You don't need to buy everyone a copy of every expensive engineering application

• Marketing, purchasing, management, and other non-technical professionals get direct access so that they don't have to tie up engineers with questions about the product

• You can afford to give everyone in the organization a navigator, so that expensive communication errors are eliminated. Everyone is literally "on the same page"

Features

While KollabNet Navigator does not allow you to make changes to what you see, it provides you with profound insight into complex data structures by displaying them as DesignMaps.

• See and understand product-data structure at a glance

• Real-time access to information; what you see is always the "up-to-the-minute" view

• Reconfigure DesignMap view with any DesignBlock as the "root"

• Assess the impact of proposed changes by instantly seeing "what affects what"
