Buzz Words

What is a WILDCARD? A wildcard is a symbol that stands for one or more unspecified characters, used especially in searching information. A useful wildcard in Banner is the percent sign (%). For example, when searching for a person in a key block in Banner, type the % where the unspecified characters begin. For more information on how to use a wildcard in Banner, call the Help Desk at (516) 463-7777.
