REDUCE DUPLICATE TEMPLE WORK!

Deborah J. White

Hi!

Please route this idea to the appropriate department(s).

I have noticed that merging often results in temple work being "completed" for a person who was thought to be needing work before the merge. This creates a situation in which patrons will be unnecessarily re-doing ordinances if they don't check FamilySearch immediately before heading to the temple.

My suggestion is to have scanners in the temple, located perhaps in the dressing rooms, or at the various help desks, or even in the main foyers (or wherever seems best). The scanners would simply "beep" the barcode on a name card and then indicate if the next ordinance is still available to be performed.

This idea will hasten the work because patrons will perform more ordinances that are actually needed!

Thanks so much!
