D Using the Repository Configuration Wizard

The Repository Configuration Wizard guides you through the process of creating and maintaining your organization's repositories. Access this wizard by selecting Repository Config from the Super Administrator Tasks section at the bottom of the main menu. (Only the designated super administrator for your site will be able to view this section of the "Choose Administrative Task" page.)

A repository is a storage area for a set of related reports, along with security data and other rules that will enable Banner ePrint to access and format the report data. Each ePrint repository typically corresponds to one of your applications (for example, finance or human resources). You may define an unlimited number of repositories, based on your requirements.

Accurately defining the repositories is critical to the implementation of Banner ePrint. Ellucian's training will assist you with this important setup procedure. Ongoing maintenance is minimal, and typically will be required only if you add a new application. ePrint's wizard will prompt you for all the necessary information.

For information on navigating through an ePrint wizard, see "Navigating Through a Wizard". For information on a specific repository maintenance task, see below.
