Why Can't I Index U.S. Records When Traveling Outside the U.S.

Scott Jamison Johnson · January 30

I am an avid index that travels internationally for work. Unfortunately, I have found that I can't index U.S. batches when I am outside of the U.S. Does anyone know why this is? For example, I have 4 U.S. Military Rosters reserved right now, but I am in France today and it won't let me access them (even though I am logged in under my account)?

Thanks for any insight!
