NOTE: This help page provides a brief introduction to the administrative module. For a more comprehensive system overview, see Banner ePrint's training materials. Also, see the system overview in the end user documentation. All administrators should be familiar with the end user interface and documentation.
The administrative module of Banner ePrint enables you to set up the system and subsequently perform all required system maintenance functions via your web browser. You simply click on a task heading in the main menu, and a specialized page is opened to prompt you for the necessary information. Following are a couple of things to remember when using the administrative portion of the system.
Both the end-user and administrative modules of ePrint are organized around the repository. A repository is a collection of reports, along with security data and other rules that will enable ePrint to access and format the report data. Each ePrint repository corresponds to one of your application systems (for example, financial records or human resources).
When you log into the module, you must select a particular repository for maintenance. If you need to maintain a different repository, and if you have access to that repository, you can switch to that repository by selecting the "Change Repository" link at the top of the page.
Depending on the number and size of the repositories, there may be several ePrint administrators at your site. Administrators can perform user maintenance tasks (create and maintain users, create and maintain user groups, and define the system's security), report maintenance tasks (define reports to the system, create archives, and delete stored reports), and monitor ePrint's logs. The ePrint help pages will provide overviews and step-by-step procedural guidelines for all of these tasks.
Typically, there is only one super administrator for a given site. This individual is the overall system administrator for your organization. A super administrator can perform all of the functions of the administrator (see above), plus create and modify administrators, create and initialize repositories, check the remaining disk space on the server and monitor the system log. The super administrator for your organization will provide all of the other administrators with their login information (administrator IDs and passwords).
