Getting the OnBase Application Installed on Your Computer (Windows only)
Most employees, can install OnBase on our University issued computers without involving an Infomation Technology professional, except for these groups:
- East Campus employees, (i.e. UHMC), contact 4HELP to create a ticket for the OnBase installation to be pushed to their PC.
- Department clients supported by the CEAS IT Office, the user would place a request to ceas_it@stonybrook.edu for OnBase to be installed on their University issued PC.
In both cases, the user’s name, location and PC workstation name should be included in these requests.
