Banner Navigation

This section will examine various methods of navigating within Banner Finance.

Banner uses the term “form” to represent a Banner screen. A form may have multiple windows associated with it. The first element to know is how to access a form. Several navigation methods are available; the primary ones are listed and described below.

• Main Menu – An overview of Banner arranged in a top to bottom level format: system,

module, and form.

• My Banner – Build a custom menu for yourself. • Direct Access – Access a form by typing its name.

• Options Menu – From within a form you can access other forms, windows and blocks

related to the current form.

Direct Access

Your Personal Menu

Banner Main Menu

Double click the folder to expand and collapse the menu.

• The next component to understand is the various parts of a form. Forms contain the following parts:

§ Title Bar § Menu Bar § Toolbar

§ Blocks - Key Block and Information Block(s) § Auto Hint and Status Line

  Title Bar

The title bar of a form shows the descriptive name, 7-character code name, version number and database name. The title bar of a window will show the name of the information area, along with the other information.

Menu Bar

The menu bar contains pull-down menus of functions and commands that can be performed in Banner. Other areas of information can also be accessed through the menu bar. If the menu bar item is grey, the item is disabled for that particular form or condition.

Toolbar

The toolbar, found along the top of all Banner forms, provides a common interface across the entire Banner product. When you move your cursor to a button in a toolbar and pause, a yellow bubble appears that describes the function of the button. Functions like ‘Save’, ‘Rollback’, ‘Insert Record’, etc. can be performed by clicking various toolbar buttons.

8. Execute Query – in query mode, searches the database and displays all records that match your search criteria.

9. Cancel Query – removes all data and is ready for you to enter another query. 10. Exit – if you’re in a form, exits the form and returns to the main menu. If you’re on the main menu, exits the Banner application.

Key Blocks

The Key Block is the first block on most forms. The information in this block determines what is entered or displayed in a form. Information cannot be updated in a key block. The only way to return to the Key Block once you have moved out of it is by using the Rollback function. Information Blocks

Information blocks contain related information on a form. Usually a line separates the different blocks on a window.

• Hints on the field the cursor is in. • Certain error messages

• The number of records already displayed
