Duplicate Records

Marking Records

Once you have identified a record as an unwanted duplicate ("bad") record, you must mark the record as follows:

Move to the appropriate identification form:

To move to the form, at the Banner main menu's Enter Selection==> prompt, type the form name and then press Return. For example, for the Financial Aid ID form you would type RPAIDEN, Return.

In the Key ID field, enter the ID number for the duplicate record.

To mark the record use Next Block to move to the Current Identification Block.

  1. Tab to the Last Name field and type in: DO NOT USE.
  2. Tab to the First Name field and type in the person's name: Last, First.
  3. Tab to the Middle Name field and type in the correct ID number.

Next you must delete the original version of the record you just changed. To do this use Next Block to move to the Previous Identification Block. Leave the cursor in the far left field of the block and:

  1. Delete Record.
  2. Commit.

With your work committed you can Exit the form or use Clear Form Rollback to return to the Key ID field at the top of the form and mark another record.
