Note: Indexing reports will eventually be retired, and indexing statistics will be combined with the Get Involved Report.

Indexing group administrators can create and download group reports. These reports show a summary of indexed records and the number of people who participate.

As a group administrator, you have several options to customize the presentation, content, and time frame of your indexing reports. Note: FamilySearch uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to compile reports.

Steps

  1. Sign into FamilySearch.
  2. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click Indexing.
  3. Click Web Indexing.
  4. Scroll down to the Groups section.
  5. Click the name of the group that you want to run a report for.
  6. Click Reports.
  7. In the Report drop-down list, click the type of report you want to generate:
    • Organization Statistics. The report shows how many records the group indexed and reviewed. The report also lists contributors.
    • Language Report. The report summarizes indexing efforts worldwide by language. It gives the same information for the group and a list of group contributors.
  8. Select options for your report, including time frame. You can see up to the last 30 days of activity, along with the previous month and the previous year.
  9. Enter any notes to include at the top of the report.
  10. Click Generate Report.

Important notes

For members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: Ward and stake councils and the temple and family history leader of the ward have access to the indexing group report. The information in this report shows only a summary of the records indexed and number of people participating in indexing.
