To configure general settings:
- Open SharePoint Central Administration.
- Click General Application Settings from the left side of the page.

Under External Service Connections, click
OnBase Settings.
The General Settings page is displayed.

In the
OnBase URL field, type the URL of the OnBase Web Server. For example:

Description
Show Workflow viewer
Select this option to provide OnBase Workflow functionality in the OnBase viewer. For information about the Workflow viewer, see Workflow Viewer.
Note:When this option is selected, the OnBase URL specified here must use the same case as the dmsVirtualRoot value in the Web Server's Web.config. Otherwise, the viewer displays an error.
Use ActiveX Viewer
Select this option to use the OnBase ActiveX viewer. Clear this option to use the OnBase HTML viewer.
Use the HTML viewer in mixed browser environments or if users should not have the OnBase ActiveX controls installed on their workstations.
Available features vary per viewer. See the OnBase Web Server module reference guide for differences between the ActiveX Web Client and HTML Web Client.
Install OnBase Initialization Timer Service
Select to install the OnBase Initialization Timer service, which checks the Web Server and Application Server every minute to determine whether they are initialized, or prepared to receive requests from the OnBase SharePoint integrations.
If the Web Server and Application Server are not initialized (for example, because their application pools were recycled), then the service initializes them so that requests from the OnBase SharePoint integrations will be processed more quickly.
If you choose not to use the service, then users may have to wait while the OnBase Web or Application Server initializes before their requests are processed.
To uninstall the service, clear this option.
Document Pop Type
Specify the Pop Type to be used to display documents in the OnBase Viewer.
Select DocPop to view documents in the default viewer.
Note:See the DocPop documentation for more information.
Select PDFPop to view documents in the web-based PDF viewer. All documents opened with PDFPop behave as PDFs.
Note:See the Web Client documentation for more information.
Select UnityPop to view documents in the Unity Client using UnityPop links.
Note:See the Unity Client documentation for more information. The Unity Client license is required to use this option.
