by ·Comments Off on New Self-Service Banner Module and Styling

As part of the release for the new Self-Service Banner module, the Employee Dashboard, ITS will also be re-styling the look and feel of Self-Service Banner. The Employee Dashboard will be available from MyDenison (under the Employment tab) and will serve as a supplemental service to the Banner Self-Service employee information. The new styling will also help to keep our Self-Service Banner screens consistent with the look and feel of the MyDenison portal. It is important to note that these styling changes will be deployed across all Self-Service Banner modules. There should be no changes to the functionality of the current Self-Service Banner modules.

If you have additional questions or experience any issues, please contact the ITS Helpdesk @ 740-587-5723.
