Security Tip - Holiday Phishing
At this time of year, users find more "package delivery" e-mails in their inbox that contain malware, because everyone's making purchases for the Holidays. The senders are spoofed Federal Express, USPS, DHL and UPS addresses referencing a delivery number, with a URL to click for information. Do NOT click. This URL can download malware, backdoors or ransomware that will interrupt your work life and possibly encrypt your machine. Beware of package delivery fraud, and use a special private e-mail address for all your online purchases. The Federal Trade Commission has a good resource on their website.
Banner Tip
Supplemental Data Engine(SDE) is a Banner feature that allows user-defined fields to be added to a Banner form. This allows information to be associated with a record on a Banner form without any customization required to the form.
If SDE information is associated with a record on a Banner form, the lightbulb icon on the toolbar will be lit up.
 To access the information, click the lightbulb and the Supplemental Data screen will be displayed with the existing data.
 If SDE information is not associated with a record on a Banner form, the lightbulb icon will be greyed out.
