How to Index information if there's not a place to enter it in.
I've been indexing some Italian records and when indexing there's the side bar to enter in all the names and dates. The entries in the side bar only ask for certain things though and there's more information in the documents that can be indexed such as names of grandparents or the age of the parents in birth and death records. Is there some way that I can record that information as well?

The Project Instructions will generally have examples of the types of records and the fields to index.
No, there is no way to add more fields to a batch - you only need to index the fields included in the batch.
The index is how the record is searchable - hopefully the person finding the record will add any other information to the persons in Family Tree to which the record belongs.

The index is simply to help someone find the document. We don't need to index all the information in order for someone to find the image of the document in Family Search. Once the researcher finds the document, he can see all the other information on it and do with it what he wants, like add it to Family Tree as "genthusiast" says.
