In Part 1 of Banner Objects – Naming Conventions and what they mean – we learned the first letter indicates the Banner System. In Part 2, we will focus on the second letter of a Banner name. The second letters point us to the module in Banner. For example, when you use the PEAEMPL form to update employee data after a transfer, you know the P from last week indicates Payroll but the E points to the Employee module. Another example, the SAAADMS form is used to update a student application information, the S from last week’s lesson means Student system, and the A indicates the Applicant module. Below are examples of the second letter module meanings:
A – Applicant Module
B – Budget Module
C – Catalog
D – Benefits and Deductions
E – Employee
T – Validation
S – Security
In Part 3 of the series, we will discuss what the third letter means. Do you have questions please send me an email at mcneill@ecu.edu.
