Staff & Admin Resources

The administrative system store institutional and personal records for employees and students.  These systems include:

Banner

Banner includes the day-to-day processing of forms and other record-keeping processes.  This is the most common way for staff to update institutional records.

Decision Support Databases (DSD)

DSD is the archived data from the banner system.  Tables from Banner are copied to a database lovingly refered to as the "Reports Instance."  This data can be accessed through a number of different methods/tools:

• Qmenu/Qadhoc - standardized reports through a web interface
• Databrowser - program for writing queries against the data; there are numerous existing queries; usually accessed through remote application sharing system called Citrix
• On Base - document scanning and archiving process

The UAS Technology Helpdesk can offer basic assistance with these systems.  They are primarily managed and operated through various UA-wide teams and UA's Office of Information Technology (OIT).  Please visit their website for more tips.
