  1. Banner 6 What’s New???

  2. Minimum Requirements • Oracle JInitiator 1.1.8.19 - Pentium 90 mHz or better processor - 12 MB free hard disk space (recommended 20 MB) - 32 MB system RAM minimum for running Oracle Developer applications

  3. Minimum Requirements….. Platform Internet Explorer 5.5 Navigator 4.x Windows 95 X X Windows 98 X X Windows ME X X Windows NT X X Windows 2000 X X Netscape will not be used. We have standardized on Internet Explorer.

  4. New Look • The opening confidentiality screen has been updated • Use Direct Access by typing in a known form name where it says Go: • The icons on the toolbar have been changed to be more user-friendly. The Site Map Icon from the Main Menu, will take you to a different type of menu for accessing the forms. Click on an item from the site map. You will then be taken back to the hierarchical menu within the section where that form is found.

  5. New Look …. • The form search feature under the File menu item is now available as a Search icon next to the Go: box on the Main Menu page. • The Product Links line has a few options not visible on the screen. Click the right and left arrows on this line. • A one-frame hierachical tree-like menu structure replaces the Banner 5.x two- frame blocks. You can access each item by selecting its link. - CLICK the plus sign (+) to the left of a menu to expand the menu so you can see the objects it contains. or you can DOUBLE CLICK the entry. - CLICK the minus sign(-) to collapse it. - You will see all the menus but you will only see the forms to which you have access once you open the Menu.

  6. New Look …… • The UIS and UNOS buttons, originally on the left vertical bar are now on the icon bar at the top of each form. They are not currently available in Banner 5. • The Data and No Data icons have been improved. There are samples on the form SGASTDN.

  7. What’s “My Banner” ? • The Personal Menu feature has been renamed “My Banner”. It appears at the top of the new menu structure. To set up My Banner use the Personal Menu Maintenance Form (GUAPMNU): • Highlight an item you would like to include. Hold down the SHIFT key as you highlight the items if you would like to select more than one. Click the right arrow to move them to the right-hand window. • When the item appears in the right-hand window, you have the ability to select it and overwrite the description. The text you enter will appear in the title bar of the form. We recommend that you not change the title of the forms. • Save your changes. • To see your changes, you must log out and log back in.

  8. Forms Information • The GUAABOT form has been updated • GUAABOT is invoked by selecting Help About SCT Banner • This screen will tell you the name of the form, the current release number, your User ID and Session ID as well as the release numbers of all other Banner modules. • This information is helpful to SSR staff should you experience problems with Banner.

  9. Medical Form • There is a new Medical Information form GOAMEDI • GORMEDR – Medical Disability Rule Form has also been added • The GOAMEDI form replaces SPAMEDI and PPAMEDI. These forms are no longer available.

  10. Alternate Identification • GUIALTI (Alternate ID Search Form) was created to allow users to search for a person's ID when they know only the name or Social Security Number. This will become important when the SSN is no longer the student’s ID. • By choosing the appropriate button at the bottom of the form, you can make your queries case-sensitive. • You can query on all fields (SSN, ID, Entity, Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Birth Date, or Change Indicator). • GUIALTI can be accessed from many of the forms within the Banner modules.

  11. What is a Data Extract? • Beginning in Banner 5, an extract data function became available which allows users to move Banner data to a spreadsheet. You can extract detail data from the current block with or without data from the key block. • Once Banner data is in a spreadsheet, you can easily use the graphing feature of the spreadsheet. • SCT delivers the extract feature on all validation forms • SCT also supports the extract feature on a limited number of rule, application, and inquiry forms where the feature has been tested. See the release guides for your system in Banner or contact a Banner User Coordinator.

  12. Data Extract…… • You can access the Data Extract feature by Clicking: Help Extract Data with Key or Extract Data with No Key If the Extract options are grey, it indicates that the extract option is not available for the form you are currently viewing. However, if you would like to extract from a form which is not yet activated, contact the appropriate Banner User Coordinator.

  13. Banner’s New Security Rules The new rules apply mostly to students. - The rules are published at: http://academic.scranton.edu/department/cds/uofsdoc - If a student is not able to access Banner, check that all the rules are met before contacting the Help Desk.

  14. Banner Password Expirations Effective immediately BANNER passwords are set to expire. After 180 days you will be required to change your password. This is the equivalent of approximately one semester. Use the form GUAPSWD to change your password when you receive the message from Banner. Your default Banner password is P_pinnumber

  15. Banner Performance What to do if Banner is slow? Slow is defined as longer than a 5 second wait. Check to see if other applications are slow such as Word, Excel or other browser searches. -Use CTRL-ALT-DEL and check Task Manager to see if your machine is working too hard. Determine if other people in your office are experiencing the same performance degradations. Contact the Help Desk to report your problem.

  16. Bugs • Form FPIPURR – P.O. Query Form and • After entering a purchase order and pressing Next Block, select the Options List. • Notice that 2 entries begin with the letter ‘D’ • When using the key stroke Shift-D, you are only able to get to the first option.

  17. Bugs ……. • Form SGASTDN – General Student Form • Notice that 7 entries begin with the letter ‘S’ • When using the key stroke Shift-S, you are only able to get to the first option.

  18. Bugs …… • IF you begin a query which runs a long time, such as searching for every person in the database on form SOAIDEN, the Cancel Query button does not work. • If you wish to end the query, you must close the Internet Explorer grey window to stop Banner. Be careful not to stop an Update process! • The running bar, which tells you the query is running (in addition to the hour glass display) is hidden by the START bar.
