UAFR - Banner Message Page - GUAMESG

This article provides an overview of the Banner Message Page - GUAMESG.

This Banner page is used to view messages generated from the Banner system. Various Banner approval queues generate error messages that are sent to submitting users when journal vouchers are rejected from the queues. On the left side of the Banner Home screen, under the Sign-out button, there will be an icon (second from the bottom) that displays how many Banner Messages are available.

Fields included on this Banner page:

  • Recipient - User ID
  • Date/Time - When the message was sent and when the document was denied
  • Message - Standard Banner message and additional text added by Sender
  • Reference ID (Sender) - The person sending the message or monitoring the approval queue
  • Item - The document in question leading to the message
  • Status - Either "Complete, Pending, or Hold" depending on the Banner status of the document 

If you have Banner Message questions or approval queue questions, visit the UAFR Who to Ask page.
