    No you do not need to enter any information from a single image more than once. You delete the empty records using the trash can icon on the tool bar. Click it and choose the All blank entries option. If you do that before you start indexing you will be left with one blank entry for each image. If you need more you can add them, but it does not look like this batch has more than one record per image. Other batches in this project may differ. The project team apparently thought that there needed to be 10 blank entries/records per image, so I suspect that some images may contain information for more than one individual.

    That would be a question best answered by the @Indexing Chat​ Group

    rather then the general question group. I am looping them in here.

    They should be able to answer your question.

    It would be helpful if you could provide the batch number so we could see what you are working on. Just to the left of your name in the upper right corner of the indexing screen on the opened batch, you will see the the name of the project. At the end of that name you will see the batch number enclosed in square brackets--[]. This batch number may have numbers and alphabetic characters. Post that number and we can look at your batch.

    ok thanks Jim. I have a new batch up now. its M9GT-T4P On the far left there is the blue 1 0f 4 then below is the entry 1 or 10. When I fill out all the field it goes on to 2 of 10. not Image 2?

    What I did was try to go to image 2 and fill out those. Then Image 3 and so on. When I hit quality control it said I miss many fields. I went back and filled in entry 2of 10 3of 10 for each of the 4 images. And off it went.

    My Questions remains the same why 10 times. And that is ok if that is how it's done. Im just wondering. thanks again.

    If you have one record and the system says entry 1 of 10 you need to delete 9 unneeded entries

    Here is how you do that:

    Adding or deleting entries

    Adjust the number of entries in the data entry area, if necessary, to index all of the records on the image.

         

    Steps


    To add entries in the data entry area, do the following:

    1.    On the indexing toolbar, click the icon for Add Entries: 

    2.    In the Add Multiple Entries pop-up window, type the number of entries you want to add, and indicate where you want to add them.

    3.    Click Add.


    After you have indexed all of the available records on the image, delete any extra or unused entries in the data entry area.

    1.    On the indexing toolbar, click the icon for Delete Entries: The trash can on Tool bar 7th icon from the left

    2.    In the Delete Entries pop-up window, indicate whether to delete only the current entry or all blank entries.

    3.    Click Delete.
