Image markups allow you to apply comments in the form of graphics or text to an open image document. If you have sufficient privileges, you can permanently save these comments to a new revision of the document.
If a note, redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is not in the location you expect, do not save or sign the document until the location has been corrected by your system administrator. When the document is saved or signed, the pending redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is permanently placed in the shifted location. The shifting of notes that do not permanently alter the document can be corrected any time by your system administrator.
Note the following considerations for using image markups:
-
You must have sufficient privileges to use image markups.
-
You can add and save image markups on only the most recent revision of a document. Notes and annotations are not transferred to subsequent revisions.
-
Image markups cannot be added to a document that is currently locked.
-
You can apply image markups only to a document belonging to a Document Type that is configured both to allow multiple revisions and to allow image markups.
Tip:Ask your system administrator whether a Document Type allows image markups.
-
Image markups can only be applied to documents with Image or Image Rendered PDF file formats.
-
If you save image markups to a document with an Image Rendered PDF file format, the document is converted to Image file format and can no longer be saved in its native or original PDF format.
In the Unity Client, you can apply image markups to an image document using the Markups tab:
When applying markups to an image document, do not open the document in multiple Document Viewer windows or panes. If you open a document in multiple Document Viewers, markups can be added to each instance of the document. Adding markups to a document does not refresh the other Document Viewers. Consequently, image markups can be lost.
The following tables describe the tools and buttons available on the Markups tab:
Markup properties you select in the Markups tab are automatically saved. For example, if you select the Checkmark and then select the color red, the Checkmark color defaults to red next time you select it. These changes are reflected in the OnBase Client as well.

Save allows you to save all markups on the document as a new revision. The image markups are permanently burned into the document. Depending on how your system was configured, you may be required to apply a revision stamp with the Revision button before saving image markups. If you attempt to save markups without a revision stamp, OnBase displays a message indicating that a revision stamp is required. Note:
If you close a document without saving markups, you are prompted to save markups. Depending on how your system was configured, you may be prompted when you try to save color markups in a black and white image document.

Undo allows you to undo the last change to a markup. Creating, deleting, modifying color or weight, moving, and re-sizing a markup can all be undone. Note:
If you modify multiple markups at once (for example, by changing the color or weight), modifications are undone one markup at a time. |
|
Redo allows you to redo the previously undone change. Creating, deleting, modifying color or weight, moving, and re-sizing a markup can all be redone. When you perform a new action, your history of redone actions is cleared. Note:
If you modify multiple markups at once (for example, by changing the color or weight), modifications are redone one markup at a time. |
|
Delete allows you to delete all currently selected markups. |
