User Guides
What's New in Banner
User Guides, Action Alerts and Tips & Tricks are in Microsoft Word format. They are very easy to use. SIMply click on them (pun intended!) and print.
The EASIEST way to use the guides is to open the chapter you want information from and go to the Table of Contents. Then, just click on a page number and Word will automatically take you to that page! If you save the document, it will work that way as well. Action Alerts and Tips & Tricks are typically one page documents - these you can tape to your wall or put in your Banner User Guide for easy reference! As we add new ones, they are emailed to all SIMS Production Users. Let us know if there is a topic you need an alert for or a new tip that would help others.
