Hello, I am doing the Luxembourg 1900 census indexing. I have noticed that there are 30 entries, which is the max there are supposed to be per each image. But, I noticed that a lot of the entries have 0 information. So, how can I delete multiple entries without having to delete the current entry until I reach the right amount of entries? Can I select the range of entries to delete or something like that?

    On your toolbar, locate and click on the trash can.

    FireShot Capture 012 - Indexing Tool — FamilySearch.org - www.familysearch.org.png

    This dialog box will appear. Choose "all blank entries" and click Delete.

    FireShot Capture 013 - Indexing Tool — FamilySearch.org - www.familysearch.org.png

    Once all of the blank entries have been deleted, you will be ready to submit.

    From the general indexing instructions: https://prod.familysearch.psdops.com/cmsa/idx/number-of-entries-per-image

    What about all entries after a certain entry?

    If those entries are blank, following those two steps will delete every blank entry.

    Most batches today come with a pre-set number of entries. When the pre-set number is not needed, you will delete the leftover, blank entries. To do this, follow these two steps.

    On your toolbar, click the trash can icon.

    FireShot Capture 002 - Indexing Tool — FamilySearch.org - www.familysearch.org.png

    This dialog box will appear. Click "All blank entries" and click Delete. You will be left with the number of keyed entries (in this case, one entry) and will be ready to sumbit.

    The Project Instructions say, "Images may show multiple records. You may need to add or delete entries in the data entry area to index all of the records on a document or remove any unused entries." The batches with index cards only have one record so you simply delete all the other records that the indexing form allows for. The General Indexing Guidelines (the last section in the Project Instructions) explain how to do this, although erutherford makes it simple.
