Image Name008017946_00625 Batch IDM3XQ-5WX

those who photographed this page left a note on the page that blocks names and dates. I have indexed the page showing unreadable on the covered-up data... however, the -1 screen on the data entry button shows that the previous photo included the page w/o the note covering it.. my question: should I use the data from the -1 image screen and index everything, or leave it as I did it, ie with the "unreadable" where the field was covered?

    The General Instructions say:

    Occasionally you will come across an image that is partially covered by another document on top of it, referred to as an overlay. When this occurs, do the following:

    • If the overlay contains information about a record type being indexed in the project, create a separate record, and index the information in the corresponding fields. If it does not pertain to the record type being indexed in the project, then do not index any information from it.
    • Do not try to index any information underneath the overlay that may be visible.

    Hope this helps🙂
