Types of Banner Pages
The following types of pages are used in Banner:
-
Application
pages are also known as data entry pages and are the most common type
of page. These are used to enter, update, and view information. They
will have an A as the third letter of the page name.
-
Inquiry
and Query pages are used to look up existing
information and return that information to the page from which it is
called. Inquiry pages can be opened from within
another page or opened independently of other pages. However, Query pages are only accessible from within another
page. They will have an I as the third letter of the page name.
-
Validation
pages are Banner pages that define values,
which can be entered in specific fields on Application
pages. When you look up a code or select the List
function from the Help menu, these values appear in
the List of Values window. They will have a V as the
third letter of the page name.
-
Maintenance
pages are Banner pages that allow changes to Validation pages. The Office of Business and Financial
Services (OBFS) uses these pages to maintain data in the Banner tables. Maintenance pages allow changes, additions, or
deletions to the List of Values available in the
corresponding Validation page. They will have an M as
the third letter of the page name.
NOTE:
If a page has a Z as its second letter, it means it is a modified page.
NOTE:
The List of Values (LOV) window lists the values that you
can select to enter in a field. These are values that have been defined in
a Validation page as acceptable for this field. List of Values windows appear when you double-click in
certain fields or when you select List from the Help menu.
NOTE:
Always press the TAB key to move through the fields on all pages. Using the
mouse to skip around fields causes processing errors that could result in
lost work.
