SunGard Banner Documentation
This web page will help you to access the Banner documentation from your desktop or from within the Banner program. If you need assistance with any part of this process, please call the Helpdesk at (248)370-HELP, or send email to [email protected].
Installing Banner Documentation:
There are two ways that are suggested for installation of the SunGard Banner documentation on your desktop. They are outlined below. Please select which method you would like to follow.
Shortcut
• Create a shortcut to the Banner documentation bookshelf
You can create a shortcut on your desktop so you can read the Banner
documentation without having to open Banner. If you want to perform index-based searches of the Banner documentation , you must access it using a desktop shortcut.
Web browser
If you have Banner Forms open, there is a link to the Banner documentation on the right-hand side of the main menu, and this will open the documentation in your web browser.
If you wish to open the documentation now, select the following link: • Banner Bookshelf
If you are going to print documentation while reading the documents from your web browser, please refer to the note below about printing documentation from the web.

These instructions assume that a version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader software has already been installed on your system. If the Acrobat Reader is not installed on your system, you can
download it from Adobe Systems. If you need assistance with the installation, please contact the Help Desk: by phone at (248)370-HELP, or by email at [email protected].
To create the shortcut, perform the following steps:
1. Right-click anywhere on your desktop. You should then see a menu that looks like this:
4. You can then select the title of your shortcut. This is the text that will appear on your desktop under the icon. Type whatever will be meaningful to you here. When you have typed it, click Finish.
5. You will now see an Acrobat icon (like the one shown below) on your desktop. Double-click this anytime you want to read the documentation.
If you need help with this procedure, the UTS Help Desk can assist you. Contact them by phone at (248)370-HELP, or by email at [email protected].
Index-based searches of the Banner documentation
The documentation in the Banner Bookshelf comes with indexes for faster searching through all of the manuals. To use these indexes, you will first need to set up your Adobe Reader program to know where the indexes are.
This document assumes that you are using Adobe Reader 7.0 or higher. If you are using an older version, you can browse to www.adobe.com to get the latest version.
1. Before you can do index-based searches, you must access the Banner documentation using a shortcut on your desktop; index-based searches are not available when viewing the documentation in a web browser. Refer to the document on creating a Banner documentation shortcut for instructions on how to do that.
6. In the "File Name" box, type \\mirage\banner\bandoc7x\index7x and click the "Open" button. Several index files (*.pdx) will be displayed. You will need to double-click each one individually to add it to your list of indexes.
