1 Getting Started Banner eprint is a web-based system designed to distribute reports securely and quickly to authorized recipients. Using a web browser, authorized users can view reports in a user-friendly format. Requirements are: A supported internet browser which is used to login to Banner eprint. Below is a list of compatible browsers a. Microsoft Internet Explorer b. Mozilla Firefox c. Opera d. Apple Safari A reader that can open documents in PDF or text format. Acrobat Reader is the recommended tool for use with eprint. If you do not have Acrobat Reader please go to and download it for free. By using built-in security, eprint determines what reports and which pages of a report the user is authorized to access. Reports can be viewed online, downloaded to the user s computer and printed. Also, being able to view reports in an electronic format allows users to execute search and analysis functions. PSCC recommends that upon receipt of notification that month-end reports are ready to be accessed that you save reports to your computer for future use. (Currently PSCC is only keeping the last twelve reports that are run and submitted to eprint in the repository.) In eprint, the repository is a directory containing a folder for each report that the user has access to. Within each folder there can be multiple instances of a report with different creations dates. Logging on to eprint Sign into mypellissippi Go to Employee tab Click on the eprint Finance link in the eprint area Page 1 of 7

2 View Reports Once you have logged on to eprint, the system displays a list of all the reports that you are authorized to view. What is showing on the screen below is the current (latest) version of the report. PDF icon means the report will be viewed using Acrobat Reader (we recommend this option) TEXT icon means the report will be viewed using a standard text editor DRILL icon when clicked on will show a list of the available report versions for that report (currently we are keeping the last 12 reports run) The Report column is the Finance name of the report run The Description column is the name of the report The Latest Date column displays the date and time the report was created or processed. Click on the Drill next to the report that you wish to view. Page 2 of 7

3 If you click on the drill for FYRBDSC Budget Status Report (see screenshot below) The Title column shows you a brief description of the report The Date column is the date that the report was actually run from Finance and loaded into the eprint system Now click on the PDF icon next to the report you wish to view.

5 Notice that you can now see a listing of your departmental accounts (organization codes) Search a Report Notice in the screen shot above, press the Ctrl and the F keys to get the Find box. This is an alpha/numeric field and will find all transactions with this string of information. If you know your ORG (organization) number you can type it in here and you will automatically be taken to that page. You may also enter a key word and the system will find all of the instances. Example, enter Staples to be directed to all transactions with the word Staples in the description. This find also works with purchase order numbers, check numbers, etc. You can also scroll down the listing on the left of the screen and select an ORG number to be taken to that page. Page 5 of 7

6 Saving Reports As mentioned before, PSCC recommends that upon receipt of notification that reports are ready to be accessed you should save your reports to your computer for future use. You will only be able to view the last twelve reports that are submitted to the eprint repository. Once these reports disappear from the repository they will no longer be available for viewing. Once you have logged on to eprint and selected the report you wish to view: 1. Select icon in the upper left corner that looks like a computer disk 2. Choose where you want the report saved on your computer (for example H drive) 3. Name the file (be sure to remember this for future reference) 4. Click Save Now the report is saved to the desired location on your computer and can be accessed by you at anytime without having to log on to the eprint system. Log Out of eprint If you do not log out before you leave the eprint page, the system will atomically log you out when you exit the browser. However, for security reasons, you should log out of eprint if your browser will remain open and you will be leaving your computer unattended. 1.
