New AM
If you want to create a new missing person, you need to start by creating a new AM file. An AM file is the basis of an INTERPOL Yellow Notice.
Click on the File tab in the ribbon menu and then New and New AM.
When
When you click on New AM, a window with details to be provided for an AM file will open:
Then you can enter the file number, the nominal data of the missing person, the date of birth, the gender and the date of expiration of the file (no later than 5 years after the creation date). The file number can also be auto-generated.
Then select the Disaster Container that the file belongs to (if the file is an MPUB case, please select "MPUB").
You can optionally enter the Reported missing and Last known to be alive dates at this stage of file creation. These dates can also be maintained on
Files - Info - Active File Info if they are not known at creation time.
The last known to be alive date is being used as the primary source for calculating Age.
If last known to be alive is not known, and the file is linked to a Disaster Container, the date of incident from the first linked Disaster Container is being used as the basis for calculation.
...
The file number has to comply with the formatting rules that your country administrator has saved in the country defaults administrative register.
The file number can be auto-generated by clicking the button within 
within the File number field. The format of the generated file number is also determined by the administrative country defaults settings.
If your agency did not determine a file number format, it will be necessary for you to enter a file number each time you create a file.

Body parts are PM files relating to some parts of a fragmented body. It is possible to create a PM body part including several parts of a body, if it is unquestionable that all these parts belong to the same dead body.
Different body parts of a fragmented body may come from different agencies. The best practice is to create a separate PM file for each body part (as it allows unambiguous ownership of data) and then carry out a reconciliation process to reunite all parts of the body.

A PUI file can only be linked to one single Disaster Container.
Unlike files created directly in a Disaster Container, files linked to a Disaster Container are created in MPUB.
This means that the country that created these files keep the ownership of these files. They are made available through the Disaster Container and the rules applicable in Disaster Containers apply (they can be read, edited, matched against by all members of the Disaster Container). When the Disaster Container is closed, the owning country retrieves full ownership on these files.
This is important for PUI files, as PUI files created in Disaster Containers are then kept by the country where the disaster occurred.
