BSD Module II
Termination Workflow

The purpose of this process is to stop a job assignment or to initiate a full system termination via Banner and Workflow. This process should be used when terminating one of multiple jobs for an employee or when terminating full employment with the University for an employee. Once the process is initiated in Banner, Workflow will automatically terminate the specific job assignment and will route termination information to the appropriate contacts within the University system. This allows such things as collection of fees owed the University, turning off computer accesses, and generating benefit notifications. See the Termination Workflow documentation for additional information at http://www.alaska.edu/hr/workflow/index.xml.

BSD Module V
Excel 2007 Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts

Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts allow you to create multidimensional data views by dragging and dropping column headings to move data around. Start with a simple list (such as accounting records or student enrollment data) and rearrange and summarize the data to answer questions such as how much was spent from each account in each quarter. You don’t need to reorganize, subtotal, and pretty-up the data yourself—Excel will do it for you starting from a basic list of information! You can also create charts from the pivoted data. This class will include examples and exercises using data drawn from the Banner system at UAA. If you work with lists of data, you need to know about pivot tables and charts!

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Excel (create and save spreadsheet, simple formulas).
