Batches with overlays

Sherman R Cameron

Is there a way to notify the Indexing system that the images contain overlays. There are some images that contain data that can be indexed.

I am not seeing a batch number.

The batch number is at the top of the page/screen while you are indexing. For example, the batch number in this batch is [MQVG-WNR]:

US, Kansas—Naturalization Records, 1862–1982[MQVG-WNR]

You can also find it under the Batch, About batch tab when you are indexing.

And, if you are indexing naturalizations, there are instructions about overlays:

Index only the topmost indexable record, or the overlay, on the image.
If the document behind the overlay is also a record that should be
indexed in this project, do not index the information on the partially
covered document.

The partially covered or "hidden" document will be uncovered in another batch and be indexed by another volunteer — please do not use reference images to add information to what you see in your batch —- just trust the instructions about overlays: index only the topmost indexable record, or the overlay, on the image.
If the document behind the overlay is also a record that should be indexed in this project, do not index the information on the partially covered document.
