1. Introduction to Reporting
Banner Day
August 7, 2014
Thank you for coming..
Session is to review a sample of existing commonly used BSU reports…
Hopefully this will give you an introduction to reports and the data you could access to help you in your jobs.

2. Agenda Majors/Minor Report Graduated by Major Report Enrollment Report
Argos
Practice Exercises
Survey
The Reports we’ll review came about because of data/report requests from various departments over time.
Rather than writing an individual report for each request, we tried to create a report with parameters that can be used by a variety of people.
The tool we’re using today is Argos.
, I’ll show you the reports and then we’ll have time for you to try the exercises.
Some of you may already be familiar with Argos and for some this may be your first time.
Hopefully everyone will learn something new.
Before you leave please complete the survey that is a shortcut on your desktop.

(And then… show the list fields available)
