why are we limited to two batches ? I have indexed for over ten years and find this frustrating.

    Hi Anders7.

    At the later stages in any Project, you and every other Indexer may be limited to two batches to check out for your queue because the Project Managers may want as many Indexers as possible to work on it and hopefully complete it sooner. That is, they don't want too many batches tied up in Indexers' queues and not available for active checkout. However, that doesn't mean that you are actually limited in how many batches you can work on in any given time frame (unless there are none to check out). As you almost certainly have noticed, when you finish a batch the first option you see amidst the "snowflakes' is the one for a "Similar Batch." I find that it's actually quicker to gain access to a new similar batch this way than to go back to the queue and select it, especially if I have batches checked out from more than one Project.
