Fields on batches marked blank

Kathryn Riffel

When reviewing a batch in indexing I find that the in indexer has marked the fields blank when the instructions say to skip that field. Do I leave the word Blank in the field or do I delete it.? Also, please make it a little easier to find where to ask a question. Thank you

Thank you Melissa I always have deleted the word blank and it takes alot longer to review a batch that way but I read the instructions and it said to skip that field. Thank you again, that relieves my mind as I do not like to make mistakes on my indexing.

You can do either.

In your entry screen, located on the right side, is a "Community Help" button. That will take you directly to this forum. If you are already here, it will be the blue "Ask a Question button.

Thank you but this still didnt answer my question...Do I need to resubmit it?

You'll submit the batch without changes. If you feel uncomfortable, you can always return any batch for any reason.

Thank you, I will just leave the word Blank on it them, makes it faster.

Just for clarification, it cannot just be the word Blank. The command <blank>, using the icon or the short-cut Ctrl + B has to be used. If an indexer types in the word blank, that always needs to be deleted.

@Kathryn Riffel I am curious why you found it difficult to find out where to ask a question. Perhaps by detailing your experience it would help to improve the program.
