Revise Temple Ordinance Interface
The new temple ordinances interface is not user-friendly if you have more than about 10 reservations. It's really hard to tell what's ready to be performed that isn't printed yet. If I select "perform next" it just gives all the ones ready, printed or not. If I do "not printed" it might show the endowment and SP for a person where I have the initiatory printed and it won't show the initiatory there. Part of the problem is that I can't filter by both "printed/not printed" and "perform next" at the same time. Eve just separating those out would help. Another piece would be to not separate out a person's ordinances like that, so if it shows the not printed E and SP, also show that the initiatory is printed. Going back to the color-coding of printed and not printed would also be a great visual improvement.
it would also be helpful to select only certain ordinances to reserve, such as if you are only looking for the B/C and not the rest.
It also basically forces me to only select one kind of ordinance for each print, which tends to waste paper if they aren't all in multiples of 3, since when I'm printing I can't select certain ordinances based on the person, just on the group I've selected. The old system showed the individual's ordinances and allowed for printing of just one or two. Since the temples no longer return cards this is important to be able to select when printing to ensure ordinances get done.
I've tried using this new interface for a while and it is just a lot harder to keep track of what's ready to be done next

I agree. The newer format is much less efficient and more difficult to use than the older format...

Aside from giving back our cards at the temple (preferred) I think the next best thing would be to have the ability to click on the names that are on the completed ordinances notification and go directly to print the next ordinance for those names. Many of us have a large temple reservation list and it's difficult to find the cards that need to be reprinted. And that leads to the problem of being able to print names on different pages at the same time (three on a page) Please make this work easier for us. Or - give us back the cards at the temple. I don't mind waiting patiently while they record them or even come back another day to pick them up.
Next question - is anyone at FS/temple department paying attention to these comments?? I know I'm not the first to bring this up.

So why can't I give @Emily Adriana Pace Osborn a like or upvote?

I have been wonder the same myself, of late.
It could depend on from where the User/Patron raised the post.
At the moment, there is NO ability (ie. 'Link'/'Button'), to create/submit a NEW "idea" from a particular "Topic"
The aforementioned is a KNOW problem/issue, that is being INVESTIAGTED.
"Ideas" Section
'Topic' = FamilySearch Community
Home > Ideas > FamilySearch Community
Fault / Flaw; or, By Design? FYI. We can NO LONGER submit a NEW IDEA from (within) a (ANY) 'Topic'!
And ...
There are a number, of alternatives/'work arounds', to raising a NEW "Idea" in the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, perhaps, when a particular one of those is used, the "Voting" mechanism, does not eventuate - just a thought.
At this present time, it appears that some of the the ways (of course, there may be others) to create and submit a "NEW Idea" are through the following, 'work arounds':
Options
[ 1 ]
- A User/Patron (Participant) can go to their "My Discussions"
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussions/mine
- The "New Discussion" 'link'/'button', is located on the 'right-hand-side' of the page/screen.
- Select the "Triangle', on the 'right-hand-side' of that ("New Discussion").
- On the resulting "Drop Down" List, select "New Idea", at the 'Bottom' of the List.
- That will create, the template, for the submission, of a NEW "Idea".
- One MUST, select a particular 'Topic' (ie. "Category") in which to submit a post.
- The rest should be easy to follow/do (ie. Add a 'Title'; Add one's 'Idea'; Save)
OR
[ 2 ]
- Here are the DIRECT 'links'/URLs, to allow one, to create a NEW "Idea", in each particular 'Topic'
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/familysearch-community
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/familytree
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/familysearch-centers
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/general-user-interface
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/indexing
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/memories-photos-stories-ideas
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/records-searching-viewing
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/research-tools
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/rootstech-idea
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/serving-in-family-history
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/sources
- https://community.familysearch.org/en/post/idea/other
OR

- Alternately, a somewhat more complex method:
- Go to, a particular 'Topic', under the "Ideas" (ie. 'Feedback') Section
- Select an "Idea" ALREADY submitted/posted, in that 'Topic'.
- In that "Idea", that has been selected, select that "New Idea" 'link'/'button', on the 'right-hand-side'.
- That will create, the template, for the submission, of a NEW "Idea", in that particular 'Topic'.
In the matter that you raise, I will "Mention", one of those, in the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, who may find our 'Comments' interesting, in relation to the already know problem/issue.
