Add checkmark for completed temple work on family tree summaries

Looking at the family tree summaries, I'd like to be able to quickly determine which ancestors already have their temple work completed, and which ancestors still need temple work to be done. Please add notations to the family tree summaries to signify that temple work is completed or still incomplete. I really don't want to have to click on each record individually to determine whether their temple work is completed. Time saved means more temple work completed with greater efficiency.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    Just in passing ...

    So, that we may be able, to understand, your suggested enhancement ...

    Question: Exactly what "... family tree summaries ...", are you referring?

    Please advise/explain.

    As, the, 'Pop-Up', "Summary Card", ALREADY indicates, the "Status" of an individual's/person's, "Temple" Work

    You can use the various pedigree views to see if temple work is needed. In general, the absence of a mark means things are complete. Showing this is an option you turn on or off.

    In the landscape pedigree, the presence of a temple icon means work is needed for one of the couple or for one of their children. the absence means there is not:

    The descendancy pedigree has the icon present if work is needed for the person on that line of the chart:

    Setting the Fan Chart to Ordinances also shows this with the color coding showing whether available, in progress, or not available:

    If you are just looking for temple work to complete, Ordinances Ready will give you names, usually of somewhat close relatives.

    However, at some point all the work for people related to you in Family Tree will be completed and you will have to slow down, be less efficient, and work to find one by one people who are not in Family Tree that you are related to, add them to the tree, and get their work done to. That is a much large pool of people that need work completed.
