Banner Document Management
Banner Document Management (BDM) is an electronic document storage system that allows users to scan or import data for storage and later retrieval. The strength of the system, as opposed to other similar systems, is that BDM can pull data from Banner databases and in some cases (Student Admissions and Financial Aid) push data as well.
Sync Your Banner Password
When you obtain your BDM acocunt, the first thing you should do is sync your Banner password with the system.
Scanning Documents
Users can import pages into the system by either scanning through a device or importing electronically from a drive.
Indexing Documents
When a user scans pages into the system it really does not become a document until it is indexed.
Querying Documents
Once a document has been scanned and indexed into BDM, you may query the system for viewing documents by enteirng search information into the query page.
Browser Configuration
BDM is best used with Microsoft's Ineternet Explorer browser. As such, it requires some configuration.
