Maybe as a Suggested Idea - Wouldn't it be nice if? Get Involved: Temple Involvement Report
Wouldn't it be nice if a similar report could be generated for each name submitted for temple work and a monthly tally of the six completed categorized temple ordinances by ward and stake? The current "report" we get as printouts as Temple and Family History Consultants by our ward genealogy leader each month just gives a total of how many folks are involved once a year in various categories. But eventually that flat-lines at 100% participation.
A report with the same look and feel of this one would be wonderful:

I agree, actual counts (without names attached) would be very useful for us in seeing actual involvement in the temple. Right now we have no idea, so it makes it hard to know where to place our efforts. It also prevents us from seeing if our efforts are effective. The gathering of Israel is the most important thing happening on the Earth, so having tools to help us would be wonderful.

Our ward leaders agreed to do a "1,000 temple ordinance month" in June 2024. All activities - including FamilySearch profile updates or keyboard contributions - will be included to meet the goal. Our ward at the moment is more like a large geriatric branch, with many members being temple workers. It will be interesting to see how the data will be gathered, besides having a poster in the church hallway showing "progress" by members - circa "Moses" documentation (like back in the day of home teaching reports, etc.). A handout was created explaining how this is to come about. I will ask at our next Ward Genealogy meeting later this month how the data will be compiled.

You might consider reviewing section 25 of the Church Handbook about temple goals/quotas. Section 25.1.1 says "leaders do not establish quotas or reporting systems for temple attendance."

Each member volunteered their numbers via two posters with 1,000 blocks and colored those blocks in each week with a variety of colored pencils until the posters were filled. One was for genealogy work, so even children and those without temple recommends could participate, and the other poster was for temple ordinance self-reporting. We filled the genealogy poster 3/4 the way and we had to add another poster for temple attendance and almost doubled the total for the month. It certainly was a topic of discussion for both June and July. It was a grass-roots effort. It was exhilarating!
