The System tab has options and support for designing the IBM COS system. There are three options and two are available at this time (Quick Select or Custom Design):
Quick Select: Provides choice points with selectable drop-down menus and formulas to quickly select desired price and capacity factors. This tab also provides filtering based on specific choice points to guide the user to a specific bundle of pre-designed options. Using these filters locks some fields as read-only and maps closely to supported configurations. The filtering choice points include: .
