Over the past 18 years, we have generated lots of ways to make Banner give us the information we want in the format we want. Some of those have been created via Banner mods (modifications – see Glossary) and some via Oracle forms. Because Banner 9 is so different, we need to be sure any needed mods or forms will work the way we expect – and that may mean rewriting.

The project team tackled the mods first – business office team members leading the discussions. Here is what we found:

Currently, the teams are looking at the 130 plus Oracle forms that will need attention. Like the mods, the approach will be first to determine who owns or uses the form, is it still needed, and, if needed, what is the estimated cost of rewriting. Watch for more info on Banner forms soon!
