Banner Department Info
The Banner Image is the image across the top of your pages, prior to the content. You may choose to display the name of a department, program or office as text on top of the Banner Image. We call this the Banner Department Info, or Department Info for short.
Tip: You may also here this referred to as a "site title" because the Banner Department Info acts as a "home" button for visitors, linking to the index page of the folder set to display it.
