Feedback: Being able to select "Perform Next" and "Not Printed" filters
It is an odd design choice that we cannot select these both because if people want to filter at all it is usually to find the names they want to prepare/take to the temple or share, and they will want a specific ordinance perhaps, and they will want to see just the ones that are ready for that ordinance next (so perhaps "perform next" should be the default, while the option should be "show all" perhaps). Anyway for example, you'd want to see all the initiatories ready to be done that you have not already printed and you cannot do it.

Thank you for suggesting There is a "Preform Next" left on the Temple Reservation list, under the Filter tab that can have other filters added to it, such as which ordinance you are looking for. You uncheck the ones you are not interested in. And the Temple list itself tells if they are printed or not. It may take some trial and error practice to get the results you want.

I want to select "Perform Next" and "Not Printed" filters, which cannot be done because it is a section that only lets you select one of the filters at a time.

Hi Michael,
When you select 'Preform Next', you can click the circle in front on the name on your temple list, and click Print form the temple list.
Please add your suggestion to the "Suggest and Idea" section found in the list on the right.

Thank you for letting me know that feature suggestions related to temple work should be in the suggested idea section. I wasn’t sure because FamilySearch policy used to be to try to separate questions about temple work from other things (because Temple work features don’t apply to the general public) but recently I’ve noticed that they don’t seem to worry about that as much. I just wasn’t sure which section I should put it in but now I know thank you.

Since I'm the one that suggested to Michael that Temple ideas might fit better under Temple, I'll take the blame for that one.
He does raise an interesting point. Which filters are mutually exclusive and which might reasonably be used together to good effect?
Under View:
All - would never be used with anything else.
Printed - would never need to used with All or Not Printed. However, could be very useful to use Printed in combination with Selected, Waiting, or Perform next.
Not Printed - would never need to be used with All or Printed. But again, using it with Selected, Waiting, or Perform Next could have good utility in managing reservations and cards.
Selected - Using All would make no sense. However, using Selected with any of the others, in various combinations would be useful. In fact, Selected, Printed, Waiting, and Perform Next could actually all be used together.
In fact, now that I think about it, the easiest thing for the programmers would probably be to make the View section just like the Filter by Ordinance section in which each item could be selected or deselected independently. Yes, some combinations would be ridiculous but that's OK. And clicking All should probably automatically deselect everything

Here is an example:
After I have decided what ordinances I want to do next, and have selected a group of people ready for those, I narrow my view to just those selected ones then see which of those are already printed. Then I can compare this list to the printed cards I actually have. Any that I have in my hand, I can deselect. Those left over would be cards that had been printed but kept by the temple (or lost by me). They would be the only ones I needed to re-print. This would save paper and ink.
It would also address the concerns of people who find that having printed and non-printed cards in the reservation list the same icon color is confusing. After selecting a group of people to print cards for, they could choose selected and printed to quickly deselect any cards that were already printed.

Closing in deference to the idea listed above.
