Web Indexing - My Batches - Batch number not available

I have indexed various projects, but my account does not show any batch numbers next to the indexed project. Example: Czech Republic, Litoměřice—Church Records, 1552–1905 [Part 1E] (there is no batch number).

In addition, I am unable to open any of the batches I have submitted or review any of the records I have indexed.

Do I need to change any settings, or does this have to do anything with my account type? How do I fix this issue?

Your help in this matter would be much appreciated.

    The Progress area shows statistics of your Submitted batches and does not allow access to them once submitted (Projects have a default due date - 7 days is common) - all normal there. There are no settings which change this - once you Submit Batch it is gone - never to return.

    Of course, use Find a Project button or Find Batches link to download a new batch to index ... Batch numbers won't be visible til you download a new one (listed under My Batches) or when you open one you are working on - then there will be a code at right of Project name (at top) - also the Help menu has Share Batch which makes that visible.

    There are a few posts that refer newer indexers to indexing videos - if you feel the need for that.

    Keep up the good work.

    @genthusiast That was very helpful, thank you so much!

    Just one more question regarding the batches - once submitted, should I review my submitted batches, or is the reviewing part done by someone else? If I need to review them, how do I access the reviewing page?

    Indexing is not a problem (I have a couple of years of indexing experience with various European languages as well as Latin) - I'm just new to the Volunteer page.

    Familysearch opens the Review 'feature' once you have indexed 1000 records (plus a few days for them to turn it on). Instead of just seeing Indexing statistics you will see Indexing/Review and have the option when Find[ing] a Batch. All your Submitted batches are Reviewed by other Reviewers (you never review your own batch - at least that is the rule).

    Thanks a million for sharing your skills!

    Here is a nice help center article on What Does a Reviewer Do in Indexing with links to becoming a reviewer and how to review.

    @genthusiast and @Melissa S Himes Thanks a lot for the valuable information. It's very helpful. Can't wait to reach 1000 records!

    I would be happy to help with translating FamilySearch content, too, if needed (Hungarian/French/Romanian/Finnish into English, and English into Hungarian - my native language).
