The purpose of BANNERBYTES is to keep users informed of upcoming changes to Banner and related systems including Recruiter, Degree Works, and Eprint to name a few. The Banner Change Management meetings coordinate the planning and implementation of various software packages and needed updates to keep the ECU Banner and supporting systems operating. This will be a place to inform those who utilize these systems daily to be kept up to date on the latest changes caused by software updates or even COVID restrictions to name a few. The blog will allow questions to be asked by one and answered for all via the comment and subscription features of the blog. If someone has a question and submits it to the blog via comments and once answered it can be seen by all subscribers and viewers without having to field the same question from multiple sources.
Examples of Banner Bytes posts are as follows:
