You can set goals for the amount of indexing and reviewing that you want to do and see how well you meet them. Goals can be measured by month, quarter, year, or all time. As batches are submitted, the target rate changes, showing how many records have been completed compared with your goal for either indexing or reviewing.

Steps

  1. Sign in to FamilySearch.
  2. At the top of the page, click Get Involved. 
  3. Click Indexing.
  4. Scroll down the screen to the Progress section.
  5. Select the type of goal:
    • To set an indexing goal, leave the Indexing button as it is.
    • To set a reviewing goal, click Indexing, and click Review.
  6. Select the time frame:
    1. Leave Current selected.
    2. To select the length of your goal, click Month. Then click the option you want.
  7. Click Target.
  8. Enter the goal you want to reach in the time frame you have set.
  9. Click out of the field.

The graph displays the progress you have made toward the goals you have set. If you are viewing your indexing goals, you will see the progress you have made for indexing. If you are looking at your reviewing goals, you will see the progress you have made for reviewing.
