Will Indexing Reports be updated to include Name Review?

Mary Louise Lillian

I am a stake indexing director. Indexing Reports have not been updated in a long time. I am hoping for some changes/updates:

•Add Name Review contributor numbers from Get Involved (I like to thank each member who volunteers each month--many are using Name Review on their app rather than Indexing).

•Communication from FamilySearch/Get Involved to help me use Reports more efficiently.

•I continue to hope that the participation numbers from Name Review on Get Involved app will be added to the Indexing Reports on Family Search.

•Here are some things I have learned about Indexing Admins and Reports in my almost 7 years as a Stake Indexing Director/T&FHC:

1. To be an admin the person must have a ward T&FH calling that has been correctly entered by the ward clerk. To be a stake admin the T&FH calling has to be correctly entered by the stake clerk.
2. If an admin moves out of the ward and records are moved to another ward BEFORE the calling of T&FHC was deleted, that person might remain as a ward admin on Indexing forever! We have one person who was an admin in a ward in the stake, moved to a different ward in stake, moved to a different stake, moved again at least two more times to other stakes--she is still listed as an admin on the original ward in my stake! I have been told the only way to remove her is for the ward clerk to request her record be moved back to the original ward; release her from the T&FH calling and remove her calling; then send her records back to the ward in which she now lives.
3. I try to remind ward/stake clerk if a person will be moving out of ward/stake, please release from T&FH calling first, then move records.
4. Indexing reports offer 3 choices--Organization, Language, and Directory. Organization report is what I use most. If I want to know how many records a particular person has indexed recently or what language, I use the Language report. When I want to know the email address for a particular person I use Directory (however, many youth do not include an email address). Some of the email addresses are old and person not using them anymore.
5. The Progress Table will give you a quick view of how many records have been indexed by your group. You can click on the Projects tab and see what projects have been indexed recently.

I hope this helps a stake or ward indexing admin somewhere!
