2. What is Banner? One database with multiple systems Multiple systems: Alumni/DevelopmentFinance Financial Aid Human Resources Student

3. One Data Base Oracle Database Student System Financial Aid System Alumni System Human Resources System Finance System

4. Banner Forms…not screens Form Names…not screen numbers Information is entered once and then displayed on various forms throughout all systems No longer storing the same data in separate databases (like SIS+) –Example: One general person record who may also be an admission’s recruit, current student, college employee, MCC graduate or student aide. One record fully describes the person

5. Banner Forms –“Screens” that display data taken from the one record maintained in system. –Example: One Local Address is displayed on a number of different forms in Banner. Tables –Lists maintained in Banner and used to enter data. (Similar to a data element) –Example: Hold Types – there are specific hold types entered on the validation table which can be assigned to a record. Rules –Rules are entered on rule forms, which are made up of data elements which have been defined in validation tables. –Rules are an action. –Example: B holds prevent transcript production & future registrations.

6. Form Layout: All forms are going to look different, because they have different uses, and display different information. They all have similar characteristics. Below is a screen shot of SPAPERS – General Person Form within the Student Module Title BarKey Info Block Radio Button Fields Checkboxes Pull-down List Hint or Stat Line Icon

7. Menu Bar Pull Down List Direct Access Toolbarr Right Pane Banner Navigation Accessing Forms: There are several methods to access the desired form, using the Main Menu.

13. What to do next? Relax! Implementing Banner scares all of us. Plan to attend Marie Gibson’s fabulous “Banner Navigation” seminar. (Quell your fear!) Think about who should be a member of your sub-mod team. Think small teams with hard-working members! (Small numbers, high creativity & energy) Analyze your work. –Lists your tasks, processes and procedures –Determine which processes are MANDATORY and which processes are NICE but not necessary With the help of your Student Mod Leader, you’ll begin to plan/document BPAs for your area (Yes, you’ll be able to use cool Banner words like BPA very soon!)

14. What is a BPA? BPA=Business Process Analysis Why bother to document our current work in SIS when we’ll do it differently in Banner? –Understanding the details of our current processes will help us make decisions about how to use Banner. –Understanding the problems with our current processes will help us remember to fix them in Banner. –We’ll be very busy --- documentation will help us remain on track and make good decisions as we move to Banner.

15. What is a BPA? We’ll teach you how to create a BPA and work with you to prioritize your “to-do” list We’ll triage your “to-do” list and create BPAs for your “must have” processes first. Remember the 80/20 rule and focus on processes that affect the most customers. These BPAs will help when you document the Banner processes. You will remain the expert!

16. Next Steps Step 1: Set Meeting with your module leader Step 2: Plan work team Step 3: Set aside weekly Banner work/meeting time Step 4: List all of your business processes Step 5: Prioritize your BPAs (See, you are using that cool Banner lingo!) Step 6: Begin BPA-ing (Really cool Banner lingo!) Step 7: Review Student Task list to plan future steps Step 8: Think positive. No tears after reading task list.
