Allow ordinance searches without showing shared temple names

George Lynn Mower said: I’m doing decendancy searches looking for ordinances that haven’t been previously reserved. The new changes make it much more difficult to search for new ordinances to be completed. I have to constantly skip through this message: "One or more of these ordinances were shared with the temple. You may reserve these ordinances, and then you have 90 days to complete them"

Under options on the Family Tree page could there could be an option to exclude the previously reserved temple ordinances?

Thanks for your consideration.

Any new ordinances to be completed are marked with a green icon. They can be reserved, printed, and taken to the temple.

Is there a particular reason that you need the ability to exclude ordinances that have been previously shared with the temple? Identical to all other green icon ordinances, they need to be reserved by someone, printed, and taken to the temple.

George Lynn Mower said: Yes agreed, I fully subscribe to taking shared family names to the Temple.

However, in trying to find NEW ordinances, it would be much easier (as it was) to find the ordinances without having to wade through existing shared ordinances.

I just like to do acendancy/decendancy searches on my family lines to find new ordinances to be completed.

Jeff Wiseman said: But I don't understand. ANY ordinances that have been shared with the temple are "NEW ordinances" that need to be done. That is why they are Green.

There are more ordinances that have been shared with temples now than there are that have not. Why skip over the all the ordinances that need the most attention in order to work on the ones that don't need as much attention?

The new change is great for those whose main goal is finding all uncompleted ordinances, whether shared or not, and personally completing those ordinances.

The new change has some issues for those whose main goal is finding uncompleted ordinances that have not been shared with the temple which they do not have the opportunity to complete themselves and sharing them with the temple so that they will be completed sooner than they otherwise would. Remember, once they have been shared with the temple they are in line to be completed.

If they are not shared with the temple, they will not be completed until someone reserves them and completes them, shares them with the temple, or until Ordinances Ready finds them. But Ordinances Ready searches for shared ordinances first and only if it cannot find one, then goes on to the next step in which it provides ordinances for people to whom we are related that are ready but have never been reserved. As people continually share names with the temple, Ordinances Ready may never run out of those.
