New Expiration Dates Banner for Temple Tab

Gordon Collett said: I would wonder if that blue banner will just be disappearing soon. It's been mentioned, I think by Ron Tanner in one of his question and answer sessions, but don't quote me or him, that they are working on making the expiration of ordinances completely automatic, rather than the manual process they use now. I suspect that all reservations will then have expiration dates listed and the blue banner will be superfluous.
By the way, the expiration of non-Ordinance Ready reservations is two years from the date of the last ordinance completed, not two years from when reserved.0 -
Cynthia Ann Litchko said: Gordon, you are correct about the expiration of non-Ordinance Ready reservations. Here's how it's explained in the article, "Family names reserved by another patron, but not shared with the temple."--- Church members have 2 years to complete ordinances for family names they request in Family Tree.
Once the 2-year reservation date expires and no progress has been made on the ordinances, the family names will be automatically released.0 -
I held that due to the pandemic, reservations expiration dates have been put on hold. The ordinance tab for names doesn't seem to reflect that. Will this be modified?

Not sure what you mean or what you are seeing. I have not reserved any new ordinance since the pandemic closure and every ordinance reservation in my list has an expiration date in 2023 like this:
I have either read here or heard in one of Ron Tanner's presentations that the expiration dates will keep rolling forward until all the temples are sufficiently open again.
It does look like the ordinance tab on a person's detail page is not quite in sync with the reservation page, because this same person has Reserved on 14 June 2020, Expires on 13 June 2023 on that. So the reservation list has rolled forward a day but the person's detail page has not yet.
Or are you talking about ordinances that you pulled from the temple shared list, that is 90 day ordinances? I don't know how those are being handled but it does seem reasonable, since some temple are open, to have those stay 90 ordinances so that people won't store up far more than they can do in 90 days. Since someone submitted and shared those ordinance and wants them to get done, they should be available for someone who can do them to take care of them.
I just checked. That must be what you are seeing. I reserved, then un-reserved, some temple-shared 90 day ordinances. They still expire in 90 days. So there is no reason to take them out of the temple-shared list until you can complete them right away. Just make a list of those people so you can find them again when your temple is open for you to do the ordinances. Until then let them stay shared with the temple.

What happens to my ordinance reservation during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Article Id: 1067, Published March 29, 2021
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and temple closures, FamilySearch is temporarily suspending all temple ordinance expiration dates until the temples reopen.
- Reservations for temple ordinances will not expire while temples are closed.
- An expiration date less than 90 days in the future will be extended to 90 days. Once temples reopen, the person holding the reservation will have 90 days to complete the ordinance.
An expiration date that is scheduled more than 90 days in the future will be automatically rescheduled, day by day, until temples reopen. This means that if a particular reservation expires in 100 days, the 100-day period won’t begin until temples reopen.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't keep that 90 day reservation long enough to watch the expiration date roll forward.
