Banner 7.3 upgrades have been applied. Release 7.3 is a minor release and includes enhancements and problem resolutions for the Advancement, General and Student Systems.
For the Advancement system, some of the enhancements include:
* Employment address information is now more accessible. Information that had previously been displayed on one form in Banner is now displayed where you can see it more easily.
* You can now make a waiting matching gift inactive without first posting a matching gift payment on the Employer Matching Gift Payment Form (AGAMATG).
* More forms have been given the tab metaphor, making it easier for users to find the information they need with fewer mouse clicks.
For the General System, some of the enhancements include:
* Numerous changes to the common matching tools.
* New APIs to support the collection of biographic and demographic data.
* Enhancements to the Oracle/Banner Security Management Tool.
For the Student System, enhancements include:
Race/Ethnicity Enhancement
This enhancement supports the changes delivered in Banner General to use RACE in all of the applicable Student forms and processes. It also provides the collection and displays the value of RACE, as well as the changes delivered in Banner Human Resources to collect and report on ethnicity, ethnic category (Hispanic/Non-Hispanic), and race separately. It collects and reports on multiple races for an individual.
Concurrent Curricula Phase 4
Phase IV of this enhancement expands functionality in the Admissions and General Student modules. In the Admissions module, users can enter separate decision codes on multiple admissions applications for the same applicant within the same term.
Bio Demo Messaging
This enhancement provides messaging capabilities using APIs that call biographic and demographic information from Banner General, Banner Student, and Banner Human Resources.
