Indexing on the fly

I'm working a lot with unindexed images from civil registry records form Europe / Belgium. I think it would be suggestion to allow a user to have a button with which they can index an imagepage ( sometimes with 10 records in it) while the user is using the page anyway and deciphering the handwriting on the page those.

Users most likely to add that feature have 2 advantages : a they are knowledgeable about the content and have languageskills ( deciphering handwriting and the language in which the document is redacted).

I understand the consequences of the suggested knowledge article below but that is exactly why i make the suggestion itś not wholesale , only 1double page is concerned , and we're talking in general 1, 2 4 or 10 civil registry acts , in the end of the day indexing gathers place and date of the act, names of the subject (s) names of the spouses , mother and father or both parents of the spouses , which is less info then acquired through the option to attach a page to a family tree.

This is also different from the indexing project where mulitple pages are offered and in many cases documents are broken accross pages that are not part of the same indexing batch , documents that might remain unindexed or only partially index because info on the missing page is not accessible
