unable to submit batch

Hudman, Elizabeth Sadie

Hi,

Batch has only 1 image. (Says 1 of 1 images) Batch notes there should be 10 entries. But, there are only 2 records. What do I put on remaining 8 records? (UK, England, Diocese of Blackburn—Church of England Parish Registers, 1813–2021 [Part E][M3KH-3B9])

Delete any extra Entries - Use the trashcan icon in the toolbar to delete them - then Submit the Batch.

Hello Elizabeth Sadie. Thank you for sharing your batch!

Most of the projects have a preset number of entries (like 1 of 10). Once you have indexed everything on your image, then you have to delete the unused entries to get the batch to submit. As genthusiast noted, click on the trash can Icon, select "all blank entries", click delete and you will be able to submit the batch with the 2 entries!

I forgot to mention that many people who are new to web-indexing have enjoyed the video instructions that Jason Pierson gives us in this presentation:              Indexing Discussion (Jason Pierson Live)      

The actual indexing lesson begins at the 8 minute mark.

I'm trying to index records from this same batch. The same thing happened to me. There are 2 records that can be indexed, but it indicates there are a total of ten. The other pages will not appear. Very frustrating. These are the kind of things that make me want to quit and then I don't come back for months. Can't these problems be fixed?

Hi @daveplum! All you have to do is click on the Trash Can icon in the middle of the tool bar, select "all blank entries", click Delete. Now you will be able to submit the batch. (There are no other pages to index). When FamilySearch first started web-indexing they only had one entry form and indexers were supposed to add records. Unfortunately that didn't work because people were only indexing one record and submitting the batch. So, they started using a pre-set number of entry forms in hopes that all the records would be captured.

You might want to watch that video. I think you will enjoy it and it will explain most of the things that people find frustrating about web-indexing.
