New web site feature: Display withdrawn options and models
We've just rolled out a new function on the Lenovo Press web site: Display Withdrawn Products.
In the past, when options and models are withdrawn, we've simply removed them from the relevant product guides. However going forward, when we withdraw something, we'll hide it in the product guide by default, and we give you a checkbox to display it:
Two examples you can use to check out the new feature:
- Withdrawn SSD drive options in the ThinkSystem SR950 product guide
- Withdrawn drives in the Intel S3520 SSD product guide
Click the Display withdrawn products checkbox and the table rows and other content that describes the withdrawn products will now be displayed with a light pink background.
Notes on the new functionality:
- When you click the checkbox, the parameter withdrawn=show is added to the URL. This allows you to share the view with colleagues.
- This withdrawn function only works on the web version of the product guide. The PDF version won't display the withdrawn products regardless of the state of this checkbox.
- We're only marking withdrawn options and models in ThinkSystem product guides going forward. We don't have plans to add this to older System x and ThinkServer product guides.
