Option to share names with others from the "shared with temple" bucket

Can we add the option in the "shared with temple" page to share names from there directly to family/friends? Why would I have to unshare with the temple, refind those same names, and THEN share with family/friends? Say one has a few hundred already shared with the temple file, and a few hundred in the "my reservations" tab, if a few names are then unshared, there's no way to filter for those names coming from the shared with temple section, so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Names that I know are fully vetted and good to go get mixed back in with names I still need to double check stuff on.

PLEASE add the option to send names shared with the temple directly to friends/family.

    Such an option is not really needed. In order to share names on your "shared with the temple" list with family/friends, all you need to do is send the ID numbers of those individuals. When your family/friends go to the Ordinance page for those individuals, they will see the green temple with stopwatch Ready icon. All they need to do is click the Request button and take the 90 day reservation.

    Here's the top of my shared list:

    When I go to this person, I see this:

    If I send the ID number of the person to someone, all he needs to do is go to that ID to see this:

    He just clicks request, prints a card, and leaves for the temple. Since the name stays on your "shared with the temple list" you don't need to worry about the person never getting around to completing the work since when it expires it is still on your list. Also, when the work is completed, you get notified that it was so you don't have to wonder or keep checking back to see if was completed or not.
