I am setting up a sweep scan queue. The documents that imported are usually multipage documetns but can be single page. I would like the end-user to have the ability to combine documents in the batch to a single document during the indexing process on an ad-hoc basis.
For instance, the batch contains
doc1 - 2 pages
doc2 - 1 page
doc3 - 3 pages
doc4 - 2 pages
doc5 - 2 page
doc6 - 8 pages
The end-user would like to combine doc1, doc4, and doc5 into a single document and index it. Then combine doc2, doc3, and doc6 and index that.
Is this possible?

If there is a keyword value that would be the same among the documents that need to be combined, such as account number or some other unique value, then the scan queue could be set up to append the correct documents together automatically as the user indexes through the batch...refer to using the document imaging MRG for the scan queue options to 'append to existing documents matched on keyword(s)' and its sub-options for using only uniqueness keywords and possibly the option to visually verify the append target.

Thanks for that suggestion Steve.
I think the problem there is that the document type has mutliple keywords that are all required. Plus, I would like to avoid forcing the person indexing the documents from indexing every document before they can be combined.
I was hoping more for a way of combining them on the sweep or possibly selecting which documents in the batch to append to the indexed document on an ad-hoc basis.
We already have method for combinding the files outside of OnBase and I am pretty sure that we could use OnBase's Import function to accomplish this. I am looking for ways to streamline their workflow.

You could use the document separation queue to allow the user to combine the documents by dragging the thumbnails of the pages around to restructure the documents in the batch as needed.

That was an even better idea. This would work if they were working with relatively few files. In this situation, the indexer may be working with 100s of files. That's a lot of thumbnails.
