Instructions


Main Menu Panel

  • First icon is three horizontal lines representing the Menu icon. When you click on the menu icon, it expands the Main Menu Panel with names for each icon. Most icons act like toggle switches so when you click on the icon it opens and closes the selection. Notice the blue line under the icon. This line is an indicator of where you are within the menu.
  • The next icon is the Dashboard icon. Click this to return to the landing page from anywhere within the system.
  • The nine dots in a square represents the Applications icon. When you click the Applications icon: Banner, MyBanner and Banner Self-Service menus will display. We will explain to you how to locate pages using the Applications menu in another document. Click here to view that document. To return to the expanded menu panel, click on the "Back to Main Menu" button.
  • The magnify glass denotes the Search icon. This is one way to find pages. Once you click on the icon, a search field displays. Please understand that the search performs on the menu data; therefore, if the page is not included on the menu, it is not included in the search results. We will explain to you in another document how to access pages. Click here to view that document. Once again, click the "Back to Main Menu" button to return to the expanded menu panel.
  • The folder image signifies the Recently Opened icon that lists any recently opened pages. If the icon is grayed out, this shows no pages have been opened yet.
  • The question mark represent the Help icon. You need to be on a page besides the landing page to access the online help. We will explain to you in another document how to use the Help icon. Click here to view that document.
  • A lock image indicates the Sign Out icon. Click this icon to exit the Banner system.
  • The last icon in the Main Menu Panel is the Profile icon that displays the name of the user currently logged into the system.

 

Keyboard Shortcuts

The Keyboard Shortcuts link is where you will find a handy list of keyboard shortcuts for the Landing Page. You can open and close it by clicking on the Keyboard Shortcuts icon. These shortcuts can help navigate you through the landing page. Another way to close the keyboard shortcuts window is by clicking the X icon in the upper right side of window. This will return you to landing page.

Always make sure you click the Sign Out icon indicated by the lock or use the shortcut CTRL SHIFT F to make sure you completely logout of the Banner system.

 

Outcome

You should be able to navigate through the landing page features.
