Liberian census
How do you move to the next record when the program is asking for the next person in the record and there aren't any other entries to the record?

Hi @michelmech . You probably have extra blank entries (not more records/persons to be indexed) that you just need to delete using the trashcan icon with the option “all blank entries” and click “Delete.” See below for more details. Share your batch to be sure (Help>Share Batch to see how).
Every Batch provides a default number of blank entries for each image that varies by Project. Think of it as a rough estimate of the number needed. But this does not imply that you must use all of them or conversely that they will be sufficient to index the records in your particular Batch. That is your call as you proceed through your images.
However, if you try to submit without removing the extra blank entries, you will get a message saying that you have multiple errors. These "errors" can easily be removed (or avoided) by deleting the extra blank entries using the trashcan icon. After you've finished indexing all your images, click on the trashcan icon and select the option "all blank entries," click "Delete." The extra entries will vanish. Note that the trashcan icon operates on the whole Batch (i.e., all images), so it is best to finish indexing all your images before removing the extra blank entries.
Likewise, suppose you need additional entries to complete indexing any given image. In that case, you can add them one by one using the prompt "Add Entry x" at the end of your indexing form or in bulk using the + icon next to the trashcan icon.
