What is Banner Xtender?
• Banner XtenderSolutions is the only imaging
and document management solution suite
that launches documents and content directly
from Banner (SungardHE website)
• It’s a document management system that is
integrated with Banner
Basic Concepts
• Think of an imaging system as a set of
“electronic filing cabinets”
• ApplicationXtender uses a data hierarchy to
organize stored data
– The highest level of organization in AX is the
application
– The next level of organization in AX is the
document
– The last level in the AX data hierarchy is the page
and page version
Basic Concepts

Application
Basic Concepts
• WebXtender (WX) – Main user interface into
Xtender
• Application Generator (AppGen) – Interface
used to create and maintain users,
applications and authorizations
• Applications – It’s the “electronic drawer”
– Delivered baseline applications
– Can modify delivered applications or create new
ones (We created a STUDENTS application
because the baseline application, B-S-ID had
required fields we did not want to use)
STUDENTS Application
List of Applications
Basic Concepts

Batch Header
Scanned Document
Basic concepts
• Indexing
– Indexes allow you to efficiently organize and
search through stored documents
– Indexes consist of one or more fields where
descriptive information pertaining to documents
is stored.
– The information in these fields is used to retrieve
specific documents from AX.
Indexing
• Key Reference Indexing
– Enter data into one primary, or key, index field.
When you press [Tab], WX populates the
remaining index fields with data from the record
in the Key Reference table that corresponds to
the key index field value
– Key Reference Table is populated by Banner
• Stand alone applications (not integrated with
Banner) uses manual indexing
Key Reference Index
Basic Concepts
• Document Retrieval
– WebXtender provides a variety of search and
retrieval methods to allow you to perform queries
to retrieve a specific set of documents
– Search by Index, Search by Wildcard, Search by
List of Values, etc.
– From a Banner Form

Final Thoughts
• Planning the index fields and document types
is the key to implementing an application
• Think of document management as an
integral part of your business process
• Converting old documents
• Items to consider when planning index fields
– Security and privacy issues
– Description vs quick data entry
– How are users likely to search for documents?
