Update External Identifier
If your documents are integrated with Hyland's OnBase, you can use the Update External Identifier to create a batch that populates the external identifiers for multiple documents at once. The external identifiers are required by Hyland's OnBase. This will associate the OnBase document type that was created with the Anthology Student document.
If you would rather add external identifiers for individual documents or you need to change an identifier that has already been assigned, refer to Documents.
Use the Process tab to filter the records and queue the batch job.
Use the History tab to review the status of all the batches, review the results of specific batches, and manage the batches.
