General Person Identification (SPAIDEN) page

Use the General Person Identification page to capture biographic/demographic information for all persons/non-persons associated with the institution.

Persons/non-persons may belong to any or all of the installed applications (Banner Student, Banner Finance, etc.). All persons/non-persons are first entered into the database using this page. The information maintained in this page is specific to the person/non-person and does not relate to the person's/non-person's involvement at the institution. All other modules/applications are dependent on the information captured and maintained in this page. Any changes or additions to a person's/non-person's biographic/demographic information must be made in this page.

You can access the Common Matching Entry (GOAMTCH) page from SPAIDEN to enter information for a new ID and then execute the matching process before a new PIDM is created in Banner®. To do this, turn on Common Matching for the institution using the OnlineMatching Process Enabled (Indicator) on GUAINST. In addition, the user attempting to access GOAMTCH must not have been excluded from using it on GORCMUS. If user has been excluded from Common Matching on GORCMUS, he/she can access GOAMTCH from the Banner menu system.

To open GOAMTCH from SPAIDEN: enter GENERATED in the ID field, select the Generate ID button, or enter an ID in the ID field that does not exist in Banner. The GOAMTCH page will automatically be displayed. If a person record is created using only the GOAMTCH page, the Origin field (on SPAIDEN and SPRIDEN) will be set to GOAMTCH. If the person record is created using SRRSRIN or SRIPREL, then the Origin field will be set to SRKPREL.

You can search on person last and first names and non-person names by text to see if similar names exist. Use the Search feature from the LastName and First Name fields to view similar names on the Person Search (SOAIDEN) page. Use the Search feature from the Non-Person Name Information Name field to view similar names on the Non-Person Search (SOACOMP) page.

You can view the user ID and the page or process which created that name/ID record in the ID and Name Source section.
