Please Don't Include "WAITING" names in the 300 Lines Temple Reservations Limit

Deborah J. White

I share LOTS of endowments with the temple. However, I love to save the sealings for myself, because I can easily keep up with completing them. This results in the name being labeled as "WAITING."

With the new rule, a name that is "WAITING" still counts as a line item towards my 300 lines reservation limit. Please consider not counting these towards the 300. Because I have shared the endowments, I have to "WAIT." I cannot do the Sealings to Parents now.

I am NOT slowing down the work. I attend often to do all that I can, and then I share the rest. The work is slow because very few people actually do the endowments that I've shared with the temple.

Please don't count "WAITING" reservations towards the 300 lines limit.

Thanks :)

imho, this is a great idea and I hope that it implemented.

I do the same thing, share endowments with the Temple System and then wait to do the sealings. I have dozens of these names on my personal reservation list.

@Brett . and @LAHS6 Thanks for your comments and support! :)

I would just share both E and SP with the temple to get them off your list. As far as I'm aware, the system is not going to pull an SP to be done until the E is done. So, the only thing that could happen to the SPs is for someone to reserve them with a 90-day reservation - the temple system won't have them done until the Es are done.

I would make sure that you get notifications when ordinances are recorded (this also works for ordinances that you've shared with the temple system). Then, you can unshare the SP when the E is done.

Maybe that helps 😀

Thanks, @cmillionaire Yes, I suppose there are always ways to try to work with the system the way it is.

I just think it would be better if FamilySearch would recognize that some names are in WAITING status. I feel these name should not be counted towards the 300 limit, because the very fact that they are in WAITING status is because the patron has SHARED them, which is exactly what the 300 limit is trying to accomplish.

In other words, if the goal (SHARING) has already been met, what is the point of restricting the patron so that he/she will SHARE?

I know, I think your case for not counting waiting names as on the list is a good one. Ask for change and work with what you've got in the meantime, I guess :)
