Features of the new software support Webpages:

IBM Software support is pleased to announce new features and navigation available on our support pages.

New support page

Along with a wider, easier to read format, the following updates can be seen on our main software support pages and the Brand and Family level support pages:

  1. Dynamic navigation: A new dynamic navigation drop-down list will assist you in quickly finding a specific Brand, Family or Product support page.
  2. Simple text search: A simple text Search box is easily accessible on every page.
  3. Additional support links: Additional topic related support links are now grouped in easy to understand categories at the bottom of the each page.
  4. Support task navigator: Our previous tabbed navigation style has been enhanced with the new support task navigator (see below).

The support task navigator will be found on all of our IBM Software support Web pages. This new task-based navigation will give you direct access to the primary tasks and tools needed for support.
