Banner Course Schedules Made Easy

Decisions, decisions... Do we…

Manually enter from scratch

Create software to be installed each term

To Roll or not to roll, that is the question!

Grant INB access to departments for entry?

SO…what is the answer?

Wouldn’t it be nice if all data needed to create the new course sections for those future terms was on one user friendly screen where designated

users could be limited to a window of time and limited to just those

departments for which they were responsible?

And wouldn’t it be nice if this user friendly screen would insert/update

the Banner tables with this information so manual entry/updating

by additional people could be eliminated?

It needs to be a one stop shop!

Class Scheduler Eliminates the manual entry by the

University Registrar’s Office. Empowers the departments and gives

them the control. Windows can be established. Departmental schedulers established to

access only their departments courses. Access through self-service that is very

user friendly and reduces data entry errors.

What do we need?

New table – SZBTMES.This allows the URO to maintain the Standard Meeting Times for standardization of the meet data stored in the table SSRMEET.

New INB Form Created - SZATMES

Another new table – SZBFTNT

Footnotes are reused each semester. The Banner table,

STVATTR, where footnotes are stored has shortcomings.

INB Form STVATTR for current maintenance of Footnotes

New INB Form SZAFTNT
