Returning Batches for reindexing. Naturalization records these days.

Just to let you know. When you keep the indexed data, the original indexers work returns. I repaired 3 Batches in a row when the Reviewer Erased the petition and indexed only Image 1 Declaration of Intention. There needs to be a test before someone is a reviewer.

    Maybe I'm not understanding you, but how do you know a reviewer erased the petition? When a reviewer sends a batch back for reindexing and keeps the indexed data, the batch goes to another indexer in the same condition that the first indexer indexed it. Any changes the first reviewer made aren't shown. The only way you could know that a batch had been worked on by a previous reviewer would be if the previous reviewer didn't finish and it went back into the system for another reviewer to finish. But when a batch is sent back for reindexing, it just goes to another indexer. And when a batch has more than 20% corrections and has to go to another reviewer, there's no way for the second reviewer to even know that it's been previously reviewed because it looks just like an indexed batch.

    When things aren't indexed in a review, that falls to the indexer, not the reviewer.

    When I returned them for reindexing, the batch goes back to be indexed again. The original indexed data returns. I thought you guys knew that?

    I was correcting the reviewer who put the Petition for Nat. - No Ext data. This Reviewer should not have erased the original indexers correct work.

    While we have many VERY experienced indexers in this community, I'm not sure who you mean by "you guys." We are not staff or programmers.

    James, we do know that. That's the point. Our point is that there's no way to see what a previous reviewer has done, so how do you know you were correcting a reviewer's work?

    Even if it was marked NNED, that falls to the indexer. A reviewer can return a batch for any reason, just like an indexer can, but there's no way to know what a reviewer may—or may not—have done prior to returning a batch.
