Indicators that sealing to spouse is ready

Jeff_Luke said: Hi -

There has been some other threads discussing the value of being able to filter by ordinances that are ready to be performed (all prerequisite ordinances completed).

I know this is being worked on and seems to be in progress as evidenced by the 'perform next' filter now on the ordinance reservation list.

I am wondering if sealings to spouse will be included in the filtering of 'ready'. It seems that sealings to spouse have been treated differently than other ordinances as far as being shown as ready or available.

For example, I recently made a reservation to do a sealing to parent and a sealing to spouse for a person.

The initiatory and endowment are reserved by someone else and incomplete as of now, so the SP rightfully shows as 'waiting', but the SS does not show as 'waiting'. It seems like the SS should be 'waiting' too.

I'm wondering why SS seem to be treated differently than other ordinances.

Also, SS can be performed before individual ordinances are performed (even though we should avoid doing it that way). See the article at https://www.familysearch.org/help/hel... -- you'll need to be logged into FS to see that article.
