OnBase - Adviser tips and tricks

Choosing an OnBase Client

1. On any computer with a modern browser you can access Advisee documents through the Web Client.
2. If you have a Windows PC, the optimal method of using OnBase will be through the Unity Client. However, the Unity client requires a separate installation that will also need to be updated as OnBase updates take place over time.

Accessing Advisee Documents - Step by step

Web Client

1. Ensure you are on campus at Carleton College and connected to the hard-wired network or eduRoam wireless network, or if off campus you are connected to the GlobalProtect VPN client
2. Open a web browser (Chrome or Firefox) and go to https://onbaseweb.carleton.edu 
   
3. You will observe three fields for the OnBase login window:
   1. 1. Domain = ADS
      2. User Name = Your Carleton Network ID - Please note that this field will force all characters to upper-case, regardless of your caps lock setting.
      3. Password = Your password that corresponds with your Carleton Network ID 
4. The first time you access this site you will likely receive a notification about your pop-up blocker. To deal with this, you will need to allow https://onbaseweb.carleton.edu to show pop-ups. Instructions for modifying pop-up settings are below, per browser:
   • Google Chrome
   • Firefox
   • Internet Explorer
   • Safari requires completely turning off your Pop-up blocker in order to properly work with OnBase. For this reason, you may consider another browser for OnBase purposes.
