Family Name Card Printing Fixes

I think I am not the only person frustrated with the new system of needing to reprint the ordinance cards after each ordinance is completed. I would like to propose 3 things that might make it easier to do this, and less waste of ink and paper.

  1. After an ordinance is completed in the temple, revert that name card back to "NOT PRINTED" status, thus making it easier to find and reprint.
  2. Allow us to choose ordinances from the COMPLETED tab and reprint the cards from those pages, instead of just a list that we get now.
  3. Allow us to choose cards from multiple pages in MY RESERVATIONS, as currently one can only print from the page being shown.

I like to be able to print 3 cards at a time to save paper and ink, and find that it is so difficult to keep up with the reprints without making lots of printing mistakes. I also find that I have to sit down with my piles of cards and go through them over and over to make sure I didn't miss reprinting them. This could result in missed expiration dates.

Thanks for listening!

    One thing I do is print only the ordinance(s) that I'm going to be doing at my scheduled appointment for those person(s). For example, if I am going to be doing initiatory, then I only select the initiatory to print on the card. This way the remaining ordinances for that person stay in a not printed status.

    This also helped me get rid of piles of cards. By only printing a few days in advance of my appointment, I only have those printed cards to handle. The rest are managed by me electronically via the shared temple list and my reservation list.
