Meeting Notes – February 4, 2009
1. Banner 8 Outage:
2. Banner Priorities:
3. Reporting and Dashboard:
4. Project Updates:
This migration is significant. All the data is taken out and converted and
put back in. It is very time consuming. They will be doing time entry
for payroll on February 17 and 18. If there are any concerns, please let
Ray know.
There are some consulting hours still available for use. Please let Ray
know if you need help with anything so it can be put on the priority list.
We have had a consultant on campus to discuss the framework. The
most important part is the dashboard design. They will give us a style
sheet using our logos, colors, etc. The user will be able to click on a
topic and drill down to the information and get it into a report. This will
be an internal dashboard. We are soliciting input from your areas on
desired dashboards.
―Digital signage―is up and running in a limited sense. Content can be
submitted. We are rewriting the interface for announcements so you will
be able to submit a poster along with the announcement.

Messages, Administrative Announcements, Student Government
Announcements.
