How do I know if an image should be indexed?

When you open an indexing batch, the first step is to decide whether the image should be indexed.

Do not index an image for the following reasons:

• The batch contains multiple images of the same document. Mark these as duplicates.
• The image is unreadable.
• The image contains information that isn't part of the project.
• The image is completely blank or empty. (Be sure to zoom out to see the entire image before deciding that it contains no extractable data.)

Steps

1. Read the project instructions so that you understand the project.
2. Review the image.
3. Make sure the image is readable and the kind of document described in the project instructions. If so, select Yes.  
4. Continuing reviewing the images in the batch. Click Next Image.  
5. If you mark an image incorrectly and want to change it, follow these steps:
   
   1. Go to the upper left corner of the screen below the toolbar, and click the drop-down box. 
   2. Click Step 1: Images.
   3. Click Next until you reach the image you want to change.
   4. Click the drop-down menu to choose the correct option.
