Creating Banner Personal Menu

The My Banner personal menu (GUAPMNU) lets you create your own shortcuts to the pages you use most in Banner. Instead of searching for the same forms every day, you can add them to your personal menu for quick, one-click access. It helps save time and keeps your work organized.

Access your personal menu page using the Dashboard icon or Search icon from the Menu Panel. Type in the page name or ‘descriptive words’, and then select the page.

Adding or removing pages into your My Banner personal menu

In the GUAPMNU page, there are two ways to add your favorite Banner pages:

Manage by Object Type – Use this option if you’re not familiar with the 7-character page codes (form names). You can browse and select pages based on category.
Manage by Object Selection – Use this if you already know the 7-character codes of the pages you use often. It’s a quicker way to add them directly.

Follow these steps:

The list of Banner pages in the Object Type window is not in any particular order. To make it easier to find what you need, click the Object or Description column headers to sort the list alphabetically.

Note: The pages available to you depend on the Banner security class(es) assigned to your role. You’ll only see pages you have access to.

To add a page to your personal menu:

Scroll through the list and find the page you want to add. To jump directly to a specific page, type the page number in the field at the bottom-left corner of the window.
In the Object column, double-click the page name until the text turns blue to select it.
Click Insert Selection. The page will move to the Object Selection window on the right.
Repeat steps 1–3 to add more pages.
When finished, click SAVE or press <F10>. A confirmation message will appear to show the changes were saved.

To remove a page from your personal menu:

In the Object Selection window on the right, double-click the page name until the text turns blue.
Click Remove Selection, then click SAVE or press <F10>.

Important: To see your updated personal menu, sign out of Banner and then sign back in.

If you’re familiar with the 7-character Banner page codes, you can manually enter them in the Object Selection window on the right.

To add pages:

In the Object column, type the 7-character page code in the empty row and hit <Tab> to view the description.
To add more pages, click the Insert icon or press the ↓ (down arrow) key on your keyboard to create a new row.
Once all desired pages are entered, click SAVE or press <F10>. A confirmation message will appear to confirm the changes.

To remove a page:

In the Object Selection window, double-click the page name until the text turns blue to highlight it for removal.
Click the Delete icon so the row disappears.
Click SAVE or press <F10> to apply the change.

Important: To see your updated personal menu, sign out of Banner and sign back in.
