Over the past several months we’ve rolled out many new and improved features for our Kindex archive owners and Kindexers. Here’s a summary of what’s new.

1. “Not Indexed”  View

Now it’s easier for you and your indexers to find records that need to be indexed. Click on the Not Indexed button to see only records that have either 1) not been started, or 2) are in progress and not complete.

2. Searchable Record Info

 We expanded our searchable record info to include the Keyword and Provenance fields. The Title, Description, and Transcription fields were already included in search results.

 

3. Increased Record Size Limit

In order to accommodate larger record sizes, we increased our file size limit from 15 MB to 25 MB.

Note: Uploading batches of records that include a high number of large files is not recommended. 

4. Expanded Archive Stats

In the Manage Archive tool, Overview tab, we’ve added a more detailed set of archive information that tells you how many records have been added and indexed in your billing period. You can also see your Reward Status to find out how close you are to earning a $5 indexing credit.

5. Expanded accepted file types to accept MP3 Audio files

 

6. Expanded Text Editor Buttons
