WHAT IS BANNER?
SunGard Higher Education is the company from which EPCC
purchased Banner to manage our information processing needs. This
Oracle-based software solution consists of several products: Student,
Human Resources, Finance, Financial Aid, and General.
Banner allows the user to perform functions or activities related to the
product areas by utilizing online, interactive forms to enter and
maintain data or to produce reports. This guide is designed to assist
you in learning how to locate and use Banner menus and forms.
According to SunGard HE, over 900 institutions of higher education
use Banner. Many of those institutions are located in the State of
Texas, including the University of Texas at El Paso.
LOGGING ON TO BANNER
To log on to Banner:

GENERAL MENU
Your starting point for navigating through the Banner system is the
General Menu, the first window you see after logging on to Banner.
The General Menu utilizes a menu tree structure that provides access
to available submenus and forms. Double-clicking the folder icon or
name of a menu will expand it to display its contents. Double-clicking
an already open folder icon or menu name will cause it to collapse.
When you first logon to the EPCC Banner system, the Banner menu is
expanded by default, displaying the available product menus (Student,
Financial, Human Resources, Financial Aid, and General). To quickly
expand a product menu, double-click the folder or select it from the
Products pull-down menu (located to the left of the My Links area).

Banner General Menu
The menu tree may be used to access Banner objects (menus, forms,
jobs, or QuickFlows). This method of accessing Banner objects is
called “drilling down.”
1.
Double-click a folder in order to view its contents.
BANNER NAVIGATION
PAGE 3
2.
Continue to expand subfolders by double-clicking them.
Eventually, you will “drill down” to the subfolder containing the object
you wish to open.
3.
Open the target form by double-clicking the form name.
Direct Access
If the short name of a form is known, access it directly from the
General Menu by typing the form name in the Direct Access box
(labeled “Go To…”) and pressing
.
Object Search
If you know part of the short name or part of the descriptive name of a
form, menu, job, or QuickFlow, you can search for it by using Object
Search.
1.
Start Object Search by clicking the Search button (
double-clicking in the Direct Access box.
) or
2.
On the Object Search form (GUIOBJS), enter the partial name
you are searching for: type partial short names in the Name
box; type partial descriptive names in the Description box. Use
the Banner wildcard characters % and _ as needed.
You can further refine your search by also selecting an object type
from the drop-down menu in the Type box. This will limit search
results to forms, menus, jobs, or QuickFlows.

Once you find the name of the desired object in the search
results, double-click the name or highlight the name and click
the Start button.
My Links
The My Links section of the General Menu (right side) provides quick
access to several functions.

Map. If you click this link while you have a product menu or
submenu open on the General Menu, your cursor will be
repositioned to the Banner folder.
Site Map: Displays a window that lists links to all top-level
menus and all submenus one level below. Double-click a menu
link, and you will be transported back to the General Menu with
the selected menu expanded.

open the General Message form (GUAMESG) and display any
Banner messages you have received.
Personal Links 1-6: Configurable links that allow you to create a
link from the General Menu to any frequently-used external web
site or Banner object (form, menu, job, or QuickFlow). Click on
a Personal Link and then click the My Links tab to create the
link.
My Institution: Another configurable link designed to permit
access to the local institution’s home page.
Banner Broadcast Messages
Banner has the ability to display broadcast messages sent to all
Banner users in this area at the bottom of the General Menu. When
there is a new broadcast message, the Broadcast Message button
( ) on the horizontal toolbar becomes active, and takes you to the
General Menu when clicked.

BANNER NAVIGATION
BANNER FORMS
Banner utilizes online documents, called forms, which allow the user to
enter new data and look up or modify existing data in the database.
These forms organize and display the data in fields, thus making it
easier to enter and read data. Once information has been input to the
database using a form, that information can be used repeatedly by
other Banner forms, jobs, and reports.
Different forms serve different functions. Eight types of forms are used
within the Banner system, and are described in the section named
Types of Forms.
Each Banner form has a unique, 7-character name and a long
descriptive name (Description). Forms can be accessed directly by
typing the 7-character name in the Direct Access box. If only part of
the form name or description is known, you can search for the form by
typing the partial name and a wildcard character in the Object Search
function. Both of these functions are available on the General Menu.
Components of a Form
A typical Banner form is made up of the following components:
Menu Bar
There is a menu bar at the top of each form, just as
there is with most Windows programs. It grants
access to pull-down menus that allow you to perform
most Banner functions. Any menu or menu option
that is grayed-out is inactive.
Horizontal
Toolbar
Located directly beneath the Menu Bar, this toolbar
contains icons that allow quick access to commonlyused Banner functions, such as Save, Exit, Next
Block, Execute Query, etc. Resting the cursor on top
of an icon causes tool tip to appear with a brief
description of the function of the icon.
BANNER NAVIGATION
PAGE 7
Form Title Bar
The Form Title Bar displays the descriptive name, the
7-character name, and the version number of the
form. The name of the database you have open is
also displayed here.
Key Block
Most forms have a Key Block, which is located directly
beneath the Form Title Bar. This block determines
what kind of data will be entered or displayed in the
Information Block(s) of the form. It is impossible to
view existing data or create new records in the form
until the appropriate information has been entered in
the Key Block.
Information Block
The Information Block appears below the Key Block.
This is the area of the form that displays data or
allows data input/modification. If there is more than
one Information Block for a form, the blocks are
separated by beveled boxes with their own title bars.
Options Window
The Options Window can be accessed by rightclicking anywhere on the form that is not a field. This
window lists all available options based on the form
you have open, just as clicking the Options pull-down
menu on the Menu Bar does.
Auto Hint Line
Located at the bottom of the form, the Auto Hint Line
displays any error or processing messages. A brief
description of the field the cursor is sitting in will also
be shown here.
Status Line
The Status Line is directly under the Auto Hint Line.
One or more of the following messages may be
displayed here:
Record n/n
Number of the record currently
selected followed by the total number
of records.
List of Values
Advises that the currently selected
field has an associated List of Values.
Enter Query
Indicates the form is in query mode
only.
In addition to the components described above, forms contain fields
and records. Fields are areas on a form in which you can enter,
PAGE 8
BANNER NAVIGATION
query, modify, or display information. Each field is labeled. If the label
is printed in blue text, this indicates the field is restricted to codes from
a defined List of Values (LOV). Records are related fields that are
grouped together. For example, an address record would consist of
four fields: street, city, state, and zip code.

Tabbed Forms
Some Banner forms display tabs that arrange groups or blocks of
information in a meaningful way. These tabs also facilitate navigation
between the different blocks of information. Each tab has a title that
indicates the content of that window. You are able to move from one
tab to the next by clicking the tab.

Form Naming Conventions
The 7-character name of each form provides an abundance of
information about the function of the form if you understand the naming
conventions used in Banner.
PAGE 10
Position 1
The letter in the first position of the form name represents
the primary system that owns the form: S=Student,
F=Finance, P=Human Resources, R=Financial Aid, and
G=General. For example, any form that begins with the
letter “F” is owned by the Finance system.
Position 2
The second letter of a form name is based on the module
the form belongs to. The same letter represents different
modules depending on the primary system. For
example, the letter “P” signifies the Person module in the
Student system, but denotes the Procurement module in
the Finance system.
Position 3
The third letter of a form name represents the function of
the form. This is consistent between systems: A=
Application, I=Inquiry, V=Validation, etc. See the section
named Types of Forms for a more detailed explanation.
BANNER NAVIGATION
Positions
4-7
The last four letters of a form name are used to uniquely
identify the form and they frequently give a clue as to its
purpose. For example, a form ending in IDEN is a form
used for IDENtifying information; a form ending in REQN
has something to do with a REQuisitioN.
The purpose of the FPAREQN form can be determined by the
following analysis of its form name:
Position 1
F
This form belongs to the Finance system
Position 2
P
It is part of the Procurement module of the
Finance system
Position 3
A
Application form, meaning you can use it to add
or update procurement-related information in the
Finance system
Positions
4-7
R REQN is an abbreviation for REQuisitioN
E
Q
N
FPAREQN is the short name of the Requisition form. This form is
used to create and modify requisitions in the Banner Finance system.
More detailed information about Banner form naming conventions is
contained in Appendix A of this manual.
Types of Forms
The Banner system utilizes eight types of forms, each serving a
different function.
General (Main) Menu
The first window you see upon logging on
to Banner is the General Menu. This form
provides access to all product menus,
submenus, forms, jobs, and QuickFlows in
Banner.
Application Forms
The most common type of form is the
Application form. These forms are used to
enter, update, or query information.
BANNER NAVIGATION
PAGE 11
PAGE 12
Validation Forms
Validation forms define those values that
can be entered in specific fields on
Application forms. A List of Values (LOV)
is contained in a Validation form.
Query Forms
Query forms permit searching for existing
data and returning that data to the calling
form. Query forms can only be accessed
from another form; they may not be directly
accessed from the Direct Access box or via
Object Search.
Inquiry Forms
Like Query forms, Inquiry forms permit
searching for existing data and returning
that data to the calling form. Additionally,
they may also be accessed directly from
the General Menu, the Direct Access box,
or via Object Search.
Rule Forms
Rule forms specify calculations and
parameters that affect processing on other
forms, reports, or jobs.
Control Forms
Control forms define processing rules for
Application and Validation forms at the
system level.
BANNER NAVIGATION
QUERYING THE DATABASE
To look up information in a database, you perform a query. In Banner,
this is accomplished by entering the search criteria into a form and
executing the query. Inquiry and query forms are designed for this
purpose, but you can also execute a query from most of the application
forms.
Wildcard Characters
Wildcard characters can be useful when performing queries. A
wildcard is a special symbol that represents one or more characters.
This enables you to enter search criteria in a query form without having
to type the entire word or phrase you are searching for. Wildcards will
also allow you to find multiple records with a single query.
Banner allows the use of two wildcard characters: the percent sign (%)
and the underscore (_). The % represents any combination of
characters. The _ represents a single occurrence of any character.
To obtain these search results
Enter this as your
search criteria
All entries containing the characters ha
%ha%
Entries beginning with the characters ha
ha%
Entries ending with ha
%ha
Entries where h is the second character
_h%
Query Functions
The following functions are used to perform queries in Banner. The
Enter, Execute, and Cancel functions are available via icons on the
Horizontal Toolbar. They are also available on the Query pull-down
menu, along with the rest of the Query functions.
Enter
BANNER NAVIGATION
Erases any search results that may already be
displayed in the form and allows you to “enter” your
search criteria. The phrase “Enter Query“ appears
in the status line.
PAGE 13
Execute
Used after you have entered your search criteria,
this function searches the database and displays
the results of the query.
Last Criteria
Causes the search criteria from your last search to
be entered in the form. Any of the criteria can be
changed prior to executing the query.
Cancel
Cancels the query if the form is in query mode or
exits the form (if not in query mode).
Count Hits
Counts the number of records that will be returned
by the search criteria. This number is displayed in
the Auto Hint Line.
Fetch Next Set
Replaces records currently displayed in the
window with the next set of records that match the
search criteria.
Perform a Basic Query
1.
Open the form you will use to execute the query.
2.
If the form opens in query mode (i.e., the form contains no
search results, and the phrase “Enter Query” is displayed in the
status line), go to step 3.
If the form opens already displaying search results, click
Query/Enter or the Enter Query button on the Horizontal
Toolbar.
PAGE 14
3.
Input the search criteria. It is possible to search for information
in any field that you can access. It is unnecessary to type the
complete search criteria if you use the Banner wildcard
characters % and _. Queries in Banner are usually casesensitive, so enter your search criteria according to the way the
data you are searching has been input.
4.
Click Query/Execute or the Execute Query button on the
Horizontal Toolbar. All records that match the search criteria will
be displayed on the form.
BANNER NAVIGATION
MULTIPLE METHODS TO PERFORM FUNCTIONS
AND TASKS
A function or task is an activity performed on a Banner form. There are
a variety of different ways to perform functions or tasks: click an
icon/button, click a pull-down menu selection, or press a keystroke
combination.
The method used to perform actions in Banner is entirely up to the
user. The correct keystroke combination will afford the same end
result as clicking an iconic button or a pull-down menu. While many
functions or tasks can be accomplished with a choice of three
techniques to perform them, not every action has all three choices
(corresponding buttons, keystrokes, and pull-down menus).
Keystrokes
Keystrokes used to perform functions or tasks can be found by clicking
Help/Show Keys or pressing Ctrl+F1 keys.
Iconic Buttons
In addition to the standard Windows response buttons (Yes, No, OK,
Cancel, Exit, etc.), Banner utilizes iconic buttons that are unique to the
Banner system. Iconic buttons are simply small squares that contain a
picture (icon). These buttons are not displayed on the Horizontal
Toolbar. They are displayed within the forms as you navigate through
the Banner system.

commonly-used Banner functions. Each of these functions can also be
accessed from a pull-down menu on the Menu Bar.
The following table lists functions and tasks available on the pull-down
menus of the Menu Bar along with their matching icons on the
Horizontal Toolbar (if available).

FEATURES DISTINCTIVE TO BANNER
List of Values (LOV)
As you create or modify records in the Banner database, you will
encounter fields that accept only specific codes or values. These fields
display a Search button ( ) immediately to the right. The Search
button is an indicator that the field may have an associated List of
Values (LOV). The LOV for the field contains all possible values that
are acceptable for the field. These values are stored in a Banner
Validation form, and the entire LOV can be viewed by clicking the
Search button or double-clicking in the field box itself.
To input the correct value in a field controlled by a LOV, use one of the
following methods:
¾ Type the value or code in the field box, if known.
¾ Type as much as you know of the desired value and use the
Banner wildcard characters % or _ to search for the code.
¾ Click the Search button ( ) next to the field or double-click in
the field box to view the entire LOV. Scroll through the LOV to
find and select the desired value.
QuickFlows
QuickFlow is the Banner term that refers to a group of forms linked
together in a chain. Linking forms allows the user to be automatically
directed to the next form in the chain once they have finished with the
previous form. This ensures that no steps are missed in a process,
and eliminates the need for the user to remember which form should
be used in what order.
QuickFlows, like other Banner forms, have a short name (usually 3-4
characters) and a Description. To start a QuickFlow, the short name
can be entered in the Direct Access box on the General Menu. If the
short name is not known, use Object Search to locate the QuickFlow
with a partial short name or Description, combined with the Banner
wildcard character (%). To see a list of all QuickFlows, go the
QuickFlow Form (GUAQFLW) form and click the search button to view
the list.
BANNER NAVIGATION
PAGE 19
Rollback
Rollback clears all information displayed in the information block and
allows you to return to the Key Block. Once in the Key Block, you are
able to search for and select a different record to work with or display
in the form.
The Rollback button (
) is available on the Horizontal Toolbar, or
you may click Rollback on any Options window or the File pull-down
menu. If modifications to data have not been saved prior to returning
to the Key Block, Banner will prompt you to save your changes.
