Temple Cards Not Being Returned to Patron

Since the Temples are no longer returning the Ordinance cards to the patrons can the Temple Reservation system FOR report be modified to print an Ordinance slip (similar to the Temple list slips given to patrons who do not have their own family file ordinances to be proxy for) for each individual Ordinance? It would save on paper and ink if we don't have to print a complete Ordinance Card (as they are now) to do the next ordinance in line to be done.

As it is now, the card for a single individual have to be printed after each ordinance (in particular Initatory, Endowment, Sealing to parents) is completed. Temple ordinance workers are instructed not to let an ordinance be performed if the prior ordinance is not completed. Therefore, If a patron prints out several cards at once to use for each individual ordinance they cannot use a card for an endowment for example because the initiatory block is blank as the temple kept the card when the initatory was ordinance was completed. What happens now is that there is additional work put on the patron to get their family names through the necessary ordiances which takes away from their research time and time being spent at the temple doing the ordinances.

Thank for listening and I look forwoard to hearing if this will be something that can be implemented.

    Please do something about this issue! It is really confusing to have to go back into reserved names to try to figure out what needs to be printed again. I can imagine how confusing it is going to be for older patrons who don't navigate computers well.


    Family Search needs to figure out something to help those of us doing temple work better track things now that the temple keeps the cards after each ordinance. PLEASE!

    There are filters in both the "My Reservations" section and the "Shared" section to pick what one wants to do. It is NOT complicated, just a matter of Patrons getting to know how to use the feature.
