University employees needing Banner Data access must complete a Data Usage Request (DUR) form. Submissions will be sent for review to the University Registrar’s Office and be routed for additional approval, as necessary. All persons requesting data will be asked to:
If you need access to Argos, please submit an Argos Access Request.
Argos access is handled via the Banner Access request form and should be submitted by a supervisor. Your supervisor must provide a statement of legitimate educational interest for access. Please see the FAQ page for more information.
Once a user is approved for Argos, access to data is controlled by a security feature called a role. The role or roles assigned to each user define what data a user can see within a report. For example, a user who has been assigned the role of LAW_REGISTRAR may be able to access fields that contain academic data for students in the School of Law but would not be able to access those same fields of data for students in the School of Architecture. Likewise, there may be categories of data within the School of Law that are only available to users who are assigned the role of LAW_FINAID, so the user with a role of LAW_Registrar would not be able to view that data.
If you need to convert an existing Brio report, please select New Report Request.
Please note that report requests are dependent upon approval by the relevant data steward. If you are requesting a report with data attributes not previously available to you (such as race and gender) you may be required to fill out a Banner Data Usage Request form.
The development team will review your request and contact you within a week to discuss your specific needs. Please note that report build times vary depending on the complexity of the request.
Oracle no longer supports Hyperion Brio. There is a risk Brio reports could stop working at any time and no fixes could be implemented to address. Users are encouraged to transition to Argos for multiple reasons, including the end of vendor support, information security guidelines, and usability.
The IT reporting team is working on the development and deployment of a backlog of Brio reports based on the needs of the functional users. The long-term goal of this initiative is to retire Brio from operational reporting in the student systems space.

While clients cannot create their own data blocks, end users can create and customize their own reports, depending on the users’ level of security access. Report Writer role access is needed, and users must meet RW role training, requirements, and approval before access will be granted.
Check out the Argos User Guides for more information about building reports.

Shortcuts allow you to save links to frequently used DataBlocks in one convenient location. Shortcuts created via the Argos Windows client appear in Web Viewer, and vice versa. To create a shortcut in Web Viewer, click the star icon next to the DataBlock.
In the Create Shortcut dialog, you can edit the name of the shortcut, specify whether it should be a “Shared Shortcut” (visible to everyone) or “My Shortcut” (visible only to you), and choose an optional subdirectory for the shortcut.
Note: By default, Report Viewers are only able to create private shortcuts. Your MAPS Administrator may add the ability to create shared shortcuts to your user role if it is needed.
Initially, all shortcuts are stored in the root shortcut directory. To add the shortcut to a subfolder, click Change Location and either select a folder or create a new one.
To accept the settings, click Create.
Click View Shortcut to go to the Shortcut tab, or Close to return to the previous location in the Explorer tab.
To access the shortcut from the Explorer, go to the Shortcuts tab and navigate to the appropriate directory.
Notice the lock icons showing next to the shortcut and also on the Shortcuts folder in the breadcrumb trail. Both the shortcut and its containing folder (the Shortcuts folder) are private.
The other icons to the far right of each shortcut allow you to Locate, Edit, or Remove a shortcut. Locating a shortcut opens the folder where the DataBlock resides. The Edit button brings up the Edit Shortcut dialog, where you can rename or move the shortcut.
You may wish to remove a shortcut if it is no longer valid– e.g., if a DataBlock Designer has deleted the underlying DataBlock. In this case, the name of the shortcut appears in red text, and you will see an error message when attempting to launch it.
Pivoting data is a feature available in Argos X. With Pivot Mode, users can rearrange and summarize report data by configuring rows, columns, and aggregations to view the data from different perspectives.
Once a user is approved for Argos, access to data is controlled by a security feature called a role. The role or roles assigned to each user define what data a user can see. For example, users who has been assigned the role of LAW_REGISTRAR will have access to reports and fields that contain academic data for students in the School of Law, but they will not be able to access data from other schools or departments.
An entire report might be restricted, so only users with certain roles will see the report in Argos, or columns of data within a report could be restricted. If columns of data are restricted, users may still be able to run the report, but they will not be able to access all the data columns within the report. More information about security for specific domains and reports is available in the report documentation.
