Banner 9 Naming Convention

Banner Page Name Convention Quick Reference Guide

About the Banner Page Name Convention The seven-letter naming convention used throughout the Banner Administrative Applications help you to remember page or form names more readily. As shown below, the first three positions use consistent letter codes. The last four positions are an abbreviation of the full page name. For example, all pages in the Banner Student system begin with an S (for Student). All reports, regardless of the Banner system to which they belong, have an R in the third position.

In this example, SPAIDEN is a page in the Banner Student system (Position 1 = S for Student system). The page is located in the General Person module (Position 2 = P for Person module). It is an application page (Position 3 = A for Application object type). And in Positions 4-7, IDEN is used as the abbreviation for the full page which is General Person Identification.
