Match Records

1.If the number of records or sections doesn’t match you can add a line to the Keyer who is missing a record – or remove the line that shouldn’t be there. You can also add or remove sections.
If the data is not matching at all you should reject the image sets. To reject an image set you need to click on the Arbitrate link at the top of the page, then on the Reject Image Set or Ctrl+Alt+R.


2.If the number of records and sections match you can click on the Next:Arbitrate Records button, or the Arbitrate Records tab to go to the next step.


Match Fields

You will now see three columns in the lower section of the page, one is Keyer A's transcription, one is Keyer B's transcription and the third is the Arbitration column.
In the upper portion of the screen you will see the highlighted record that needs to be arbitrated – depending on the form positions that the keyer set it will move the highlight to the next record. You may need to find the appropriate record on the image.

Compare the transcriptions of each keyer, view the original record and determine what should be entered. If you agree with Keyer A (F8) or B (F9) click on their results; if you disagree with both Keyers you can enter your own transcription. Once you have done either – and you have information entered in the Arbitration field click enter. Continue through all of the records in the same manner.

On the lower left hand side of the page is an accounting of each record. If a record needs to be arbitrated it will have an exclamation mark next to it and will have an Attention status. Once a record has been arbitrated the record will have an Arbitrated status with a check mark next to it.

If there are multiple images you will need to click on the Next: Begin Next Image button to move on to the next image.
Once you have completed all of the records on the image that need to be arbitrated you will be notified that you have completed the image set and you will need to click to say that the image set is complete.
