An example of a scroll bar in a Banner form can be seen in Figure 8. The purpose of the scroll bar in that example is to allow the user to view additional addresses for the person whose record is being viewed. Because there is not room to display all of the address records at once, the scroll bar is provided to enable the user to access additional data. Notice the shaded rectangle in the bar. If this rectangle is present, there is more data to be viewed.
Scroll bars can be either vertical or horizontal.
In a database, a field is the entry location for a certain data element. For example, the last name field is the location where the last name is entered. In Banner, a field is a location where data can be entered, changed, displayed or queried. Some fields in Banner are for display only. You may not enter data into them.
