A name search is a way to look through the Banner system to find the N-number of a person or vendor that may have records within the system. Important Information about Name Searching: Name Searching is not case sensitive Name Searches can be done from any form that requires an N-number Enter as few letters in the name as possible to get the broadest search Be cautious of multiple spellings of names Why can't I do an insert and copy a previous record like I did in Banner 8? Banner 9 only requires you to highlight the record you want to copy and select the Copy action (F4). Why are the Insert, Delete, and Copy actions deactivated (grayed out)? You must have your cursor active in the section you want to use the action in. If these actions are not available for that section, they will remain deactivated.
