Banner APIs
Here at SCF, we have been doing some interesting things with Banner APIs and improving process flow with additional web pages that update banner through those APIs. While we aren’t using Banner Extensibility, what we’re doing could easily be migrated to Banner Extensibility to allow for greater flexibility for those not as familiar with HTML.
I will demonstrate what we are doing with dashboards and our admissions web application process to show what can be done, and then look a little closer at those APIs being used behind the scenes, and how we format them.
