Hardware_Technopedia_Lifecycle.csv

Version:If you are using the Technology Intelligence Platform version of IT Visibility’s export, information in this section is not applicable to you. Instead, see IT Visibility Data Export Using Technology Intelligence Platform. To check whether you are using Technology Intelligence Platform or Pre-Technology Intelligence Platform version, go to the Data Export page (IT Visibility > Data Exports). If you see two buttons for exporting—a Create Export button and a Create Export (Beta) button—you are using a Pre-Technology Intelligence Platform version (export version 1 or version 2). If you only see the Create Export button, you are either on the Technology Intelligence Platform version or export version 3. For related information, see Upgrading to the Export Version 3 of IT Visibility.
