Which Quick Tip to Use

Electronic Personnel Action Forms (EPAFs) are built for different situations.  The fields that are completed in the EPAF may differ for each situation.  Therefore, the instructions (QuickTips) are designed to match each situation.  Some situations can use the same EPAF (form) but the fields are completed differently, therefore the QuickTip may give choices depending on the situation.

In BannerWeb, “EPAF” type is labeled “Approval Category.”  The drop-down box will display the choices.
