Reserving Previously Shared Names - They Need Some Kind of Separation

Tom J. McVey said: It is wonderful that you're allowing patrons to reserve work that is shared with the temple system and giving them 90 days to perform the ordinance. Or should I say ordinances because now you can reserve everything not finished on the name. Again, this is really fantastic. Now the issue...once these names are in your reservation list they blend in with all the ordinances you might be managing. They should show some kind of priority because you need to focus your attention on them and finish whatever you've reserved. Could they not be separated into their own grouping like you've done "Shared". That way you can see them all at the same time not mixed in with all other reservations. You can easily make a batch of sealings to take to the temple or initiatory, etc.

Tom J. McVey said: Although your response does bring up all those needing the sealing ordinances it also brings up people needing prerequisite ordinances completed so now I have to sort through those before being able to see those ready to be sealed. No question I need to get more familiar with the "Filter" option!

Gordon Collett said: That would be an extremely useful modification of the filters for them show only selections that have all preceding ordinances completed. For example, selecting just baptism would show everyone needing that but selecting only Endowment would only show people for whom B/C/I are completed.

I think the old list, if I remember right, did this by sorting the list so that people needing just Endowment would come first in the list, then people that needed initiatory would show, then finally people that needed everything. Now, that is prevented by the fact that one of the sort functions has to also be applied.

Another modification that I would suggest is to change the default settings for the filters. Currently the sort is by descending reservation date. More useful in urging people to get things done would be to have the default sort be by ascending expiration date.
