Tool Bar

The Tool bar located at the top of the Banner 8 window provides an easy method to navigate within the various menus and forms and also provides quick access to predefined functions. The functions on the left side of the tool bar initiate many of the standard Oracle functions that are used to navigate throughout Banner 8. We will talk more about these functions in the Forms section.

Hovering over a Tool bar icon will cause a yellow bubble to appear, providing a description of the tools function.  A tool icon may be clicked at any time, except when a dialog box, alert box, or List of Values (LOV) is active. A dimmed tool icon is inactive and cannot be clicked.

Below are the Tool bar icons and an explanation of their associated functions.
