Greetings! Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources:
We wanted to remind you that this weekend (Saturday, February 11 and Sunday, February 12, 2023), AITS will be conducting a maintenance event on our production data center which necessitates Banner and related applications to be unavailable during two periods of time. On both Saturday and Sunday of the upcoming weekend, services will be unavailable starting at 6:00 AM each morning and will be available again by 6:00 PM each evening.
Business Objects is scheduled for an upgrade to version 4.3 the weekend of March 25. This upgrade has a very different user interface; as such, we are no longer offering training classes in the current version of Business Objects. We are still offering 1-on-1 report assistance with our data experts. You can sign up here: http://go.uillinois.edu/WebiReportAssistance
The UIS Police Department presents training classes on ways to minimize your risk during an active shooter / active threat incident. The next class will be on Friday, February 17, at 10:00 am in Brookens Auditorium. The class will be approximately 1 hour in length.
Banner Financial Aid will be upgraded on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 to incorporate regulatory requirements along with several minor defect corrections. The upgrade will begin at 5:30 AM CST and is expected to be complete by 7:30 AM CST. Banner will not be brought completely down for this event; however, Banner Administrative Pages, BDM (attachments), Workflow, Chrome River, Eddie, and Amazon Business for Finance will be unavailable during the upgrade.
Please be aware that Parking Lot E will be closed from early morning through 2:00 PM on Monday, February 6 so that school children may safely enter the UIS Performing Arts Center for the Staley Class Acts performances of Pete the Cat’s Big Hollywood Adventure.

The Office of Web Services has updated the site to a new administrative theme! Claro, provides a clear admin user interface, with a more modern look and feel. The new design "defines a complete set of principals, patterns, and tools for building a coherent and user-friendly Drupal administrative user interface" . The initiative to update the administrative theme is to make Drupal compatible with decoupled applications and to make browsing easier for end users.
