A few more thoughts about the project to consider:


 * Please remember that we are asking for your opinion. If you were the one who entered your search query into FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, Google.com, or any other search engine, how would you feel about the result?


 * Also, the training presentation that goes step-by-step through the project contains the opinions of the creator. As I said before, we are asking for your opinion, so you may disagree with some of the values that the creator of the training entered. Personally, I would have entered a 1 in the Relationship field for Line 2 in the example (slide 9), because the query included father and mother and the result did not, but I can understand the opinion that led her to index a 4 (I suppose she was thinking we can infer that because his name is Michael Kline, his father might also be named Michael Kline). On Line 6, I would have indexed a 5 for the Date field (slide 12) because all dates are within the date range of the query (1900-2010). We are simply asking for you to judge how you would feel if these results were given to you after you entered your query.


 * Finally, a little further explanation as to why “Not requested by query” equals a 5. The logic behind the 5 is that because you didn’t ask for the information, any information that we give you in the result is just a bonus, above-and-beyond what you asked of us.

cannot find the evaluation when I click download batch
I have just gone to the download batch screen and the evaluation survey does not show under prefered or all projects. Am I doing something wrong or ?

Hmmm. Everyone in your stake should be able to see the project. Have you tried clicking on the Project Name column to sort the list by name and then look between España and France? GaleK 17:42, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

To find the survey when you Download, you have to select All Projects.

Instructions don't match fields
Project Information mentions a field, "Does Record match Query?" There is no field entitled as such.

Also as an example if number 8 search result matches 5, 6, or 7 we only have a choice of 1-4.
