Yay! A new version of the keying tool has launched…
Today we launched a new version of the keying tool, 1.1.0.50.
You will likely notice that the Keying Tool home page has changed. We’ve added Help links in the main portion of the page as well as on the right hand side of the page. **Although there is a link to the Tutorial it is currently under construction – at this time it is out of date and contains inaccurate information. **
When you are keying a project we also hope you notice the addition of a link under the Field Help that will bring you to an index of the online help articles.
In addition to these more noticeable changes we have also made changes to…
- The size of the Enter Data area on the screen.
- Arbitrating “Blank” and “Illegible” entries
- and a variety of other smaller changes.
We appreciate your feedback as we make adjustments to the keying tool and hope you will let us know what you think of this latest version of the keying tool. You can provide feedback through the “Provide Feedback” links in the tool or by emailing our support team, worldarchivesproject@ancestry.com.
Wow! Thanks for adding the feature that allows us to select the proper form type by keying the form number and hitting enter instead of having to double-click with the mouse. Not having to use the mouse speeds things up a great deal.
You should put the “number and Enter” information on the selection screen instead of just the “double click” instructions.
