OnBase Unity Client

OnBase Unity Client can be downloaded and installed (only when using Internet Explorer) by clicking the link at the bottom of https://www.emporia.edu/onbase, or this direct link.

Advantages of using Unity Client:

  • It is open until you exit.  The session doesn't die after 25 minutes like the web client.  You won't lose your work when you are distracted by phone calls or lunch.
  • It's designed like Microsoft Office with a ribbon at the top.
  • If scanning documents, you can "acquire" directly from the scanner without first saving to your computer.



  • You can use the Hyland Virtual Print Driver to "print" a document into OnBase.
  • You can have multiple windows open at one time (Document Retrieval, Workflow, New Form…).  Click File, Open in New Window.
  • Not available for Macs, but Mac users can use it via the SkyLab Employee Desktop.
