Add Filter in My Reservations for names that can be shared

Ray Froess

I currently have 177 names with ordinances that can be done. (Filter with “Perform Next.”) I want to share some with others so they can do the ordinance. The only way I can tell if I can share a name is to check its box and see if the SHARE button turns blue. Doing this for each of the 177 names is extremely tedious.

Unfortunately, there’s no filter option to show only names that can be shared. Please add a "Can be shared" filter.

Sounds like it would be a handy filter.

However, since such a filter would takes months to appear if they decide to include it or since it may never be added, I poked around a little bit to see if anything would be easier. I did just look at the website so if you are in the mobile app, I don't know if any of this applies.

First off, you can see which ordinances can be shared and which cannot without clicking anything. Just look to the right hand side of the page. There is a notice on the ordinances than cannot be shared:

So you don't need to click the box on those and check anything. You already know they can't be shared.

Secondly, if you click a whole batch of boxes and at lease one of them can be shared, the Share link becomes active. However when you click Share, only those that can be shared will be. The one's that can't will just stay where they are. So again, you really don't need to check. Just be aware that you may not be sharing as many as you think you are.

For example, I can click on the two names above:

The Share link is active because one of them can be shared so I click Share With An Individual and share them. However only one is actually shared. The other, that cannot be shared, was not:
