When you need help with a batch, you can share it with the batch code or ID to give you the help you need

Steps

1. Just above the toolbar, click Help.
2. On the drop-down menu, click Share Batch.
3. The Share Batch window opens, giving you two options:
   • Copy the batch link, and paste it in an email to the helper or post it on the Share Batch, Etc. page on Facebook. The helper can click the link and go directly to the batch.
   • Share the batch code so the helper can enter it in the web indexing tool and open the batch.

• A second way to find the batch code is by clicking Batch, then About Batch. The Batch ID is the same as the code.

To give you an accurate answer please share the batch code/ID

Hi Anthony. For the most accurate help, please do as Mirevo suggests and share your batch. But here below, from the Field Help (pink ?) for Deed Year is the Project Guidance on that issue. You don't leave it blank. If you have the 2-digit year and can't determine the century, then you still index the 2-digit year. Look at the last paragraph below but also look at the rest of the guidance and please share your batch.

Type the 4-digit number for the deed year.

If the deed date was not recorded, index the date of the record. Do not index the date of instrument.

If only a 2-digit number was recorded, you can sometimes determine the first 2 digits of the 4-digit year from other information, such as the project dates or other contextual information on the image.

Do not calculate a date from other information on the document.

If you cannot determine the 4-digit year, index the 2-digit number. If you cannot determine the 2-digit or 4-digit year, press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank.
