If your department has a Multi-Function Printer (MFP), and purchased the Hyland OnBase Unity Batch Scanning license, it can be configured to upload documents into a scan queue within OnBase. Your MFP will have a Scan to ECM button to initiate the scanning.  Contact support call 631-632-9800 or create a ticket at service.stonybrook.edu) to set up your MFP.

Another option that does not require the purchase of a license is to setup a button on the MFP that allows documents to be scanned into a department shared folder. 

You can request this by creating a service ticket at service.stonybrook.edu.  To expedite your ticket, include the reference "CcScan" in the ticket and the shared folder path of where the scanned files should be saved.  Once the documents are in the shared folder a user can browse to the folder and locate the file to manual upload into OnBase. – These files wouldn’t appear in the above mentioned Scan Queue method.
