IT Security Tip
An unlocked workstation can be a gold mine for data thieves. Always log out or lock your workstation, even for a brief absence.



Banner Tip
When you use Banner Job Submission to run processes and select the option to "save" your output, the default location for these files is the C:\temp directory on your desktop or laptop. In Windows 7, that directory does not exist, and you may get an error informing you that the directory isn't there. To alleviate this issue, you can:

1.  Create the C:\temp directory using "My Computer." Go to your C drive and click on "New Folder" and name the folder "temp."

Or:

2.  In Banner, go to the GUAUPRF screen and change the default output directory to another directory on your PC or laptop.



Accessibility Tip
Do not use color alone to convey meaning. Use an asterisk (*) or other symbol.
