It is recommended that you use the table below as a guide when configuring multi-instance Keyword Types for your own solution. Once you have created the individual Keyword Types, you can create a Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group and add these individual Keyword Types to the group. For more information on configuring Multi-Instance Keyword Type Groups, see the System Administration module reference guide or help file.

By default, OnBase does not support duplicate instances of Multi-Instance Keyword Type Groups (i.e., multiple instances of the same MIKG with the same Keyword Values). If you wish to store duplicate instances of MIKGs (e.g., if certain documents have repeating line items), it is considered a best practice to configure an additional Line Number Keyword Type for the MIKGs in your solution. This additional Numeric Keyword Type represents the line/sequence number of each individual instance of the MIKG, ensuring that at least one value in each instance of the MIKG is unique.
