Banner upgrade brings improvements and new fields
Posted by amcmahon
This evening Banner will be down for an upgrade. We are very happy to report this upgrade will bring improvements to searching and new fields to enter gender and preferred pronoun:
Searching: Basic Filter
- Search pages default to Basic Filter mode with the options below
- From any person name search page (for example SOAIDEN, POIIDEN, or GUIALTI) the most common search fields are displayed when you enter the page – you no longer have to select them
- There are optional additional search fields you can select such as prefix, suffix, date of birth, name type, and change indicator
- All fields, including date of birth, allow wildcard %
- The new filter format is available on all filter pages, not just those for name searching
Searching: Advanced Filter
- You can switch to Advanced Filter to introduce search operators such as “starts with” and “contains”
- Advanced Filter mode works with wildcard % but some operators such as “contains” do not require wildcard
New Identity Fields
- Person record pages such as PPAIDEN and SPAIDEN have new fields on the “Biographical” tab
- These new fields will be implemented for use in the coming months. More info to come.
- New fields are Legal Sex, Gender Designation and Personal Pronoun
Next week, these nifty changes will be available for you to try. Details and screen shots are available on the Banner 9 site.
