IT Tip
Your smart phone is a small computer, and sometimes OS upgrades result in problems. For a phone OS upgrade, plug your phone into your computer and create a backup before you download and apply the new OS.


Banner Tip
Special Query Features - When executing a query, Banner assumes you want an exact match for the criteria you enter unless you use wildcards. Another method is to use the > or < sign when entering criteria. Press Enter Query (F7), click in the field you want to narrow down for example a date field, type > 01-JAN-2013 then press Execute Query (F8).
