| 02/03/2018 | Banner and all Banner related services (including TruView links) are now available.

At this time a rough estimate is that the system will not be available until near or after 5pm today. We will update this service note as we have information to share. --------- Currently Banner and all Banner links in TruView are unavilable due to a hardware error. We are working with support but do not yet have an estimated time to recovery. We will post again when we know. |
