An indexing project should contain just one record type. Once in awhile, however, a record of the wrong type ends up in a batch of records you are working on. For example, you might find a marriage record in a batch of birth records.
In this situation, you should indicate that the wrong record type contains no extractable data. For example, in a project of birth records, you should mark a marriage record as "no extractable data."
These skipped records will then be grouped into future indexing projects so that no information is lost. Thank you for your help in maintaining the quality and accuracy of our records.
Steps
- Read the project name and the project instructions to find out what type of record the project contains.
- Review each image in the batch, and indicate whether it contains extractable data. If you find an image with a the wrong record type, click No, No Extractable Data.
- If you find the wrong record type later while indexing, do this:
- Click Step 2: Entries.
- Click Step 1: Images.
- No, No Extractable Data
How do I know if an image should be indexed?
How do I index an image that doesn't match the entry form?
Should I index extra information on a record?
How do I index an image that is out of order?
