A Quick way to Get Help Indexing

Share A Batch

Do you ever find yourself working on a batch and you just can't figure out the spelling of a name? Or maybe you aren't sure what to index into a certain field. Won't it be nice just to ask someone what to do, without waiting for them to come to you or until you see them next time?

That can easily be done by "Sharing a Batch" with a fellow indexer, your Ward Indexing Specialist or with the Stake Indexing Director, me.

No waiting or no long explanations are needed, seeing is believing!

Follow these simple steps to get help and open your batch so someone else can see what you are doing:

1. Make a telephone call to the person you would like to help you.



2. Open the indexing program and select "work on Batch" to open the batch you are having a problem with.



3. Click on 'file' at the top left of your screen.



4. Click on "Share a batch"



5. A number will come up on your screen in a little box.



6. Give that number to the person on the phone.



7. That person will go to 'File' and click on "Receive a batch" and put in the number you just gave them.



8. Your batch will open on the computer of the person helping you. They will be able to see what you are talking about and to offer advice. You make the change or addition in your batch and you are finished.



9. The person helping you will close the batch and next time they log in they will get a message that the batch you were sharing with them is not available.
