This online series of topic specific training is open to anyone who has participated in a DBT training and is using Word and SWIFT to prepare files for DBT. This first Lunch and Learn session will build on previous DBT trainings. Each session goes into a single topic in depth. Any time remaining at the end of each session is open for other questions and troubleshooting.

This one-hour discussion will focus on the purpose of Transcriber's Notes (TNs). SWIFT/BANA template has multiple ways to apply TNs formatting, and each serves a different situation. Note: It is helpful to attend this session in preparation for the January session on Tables.
