"Next Month" option for Schedule search
On the Search Bar on the Schedule, there are options for Current Month and Last Month. An option for "Next Month" would be helpful allowing single keystroke to select next months accepted games. Currently the option is FUTURE and when you are in the early/middle of the month, that shows the rest of CURRENT month also. It would help when planning the upcoming month without the need to open the availability calendar. Thanks for your consideration.
1 voteThis has been completed. A Next Month quick jump option is now available on non-mobile devices.

Remove official from all linked games
When I click the red X to remove an official on a linked game, it only removes that official for that game, even when a pair of games are linked. When removing an official on a linked game it would save time by removing that official from all linked games.
19 votesThis has been completed. If you remove an official from a game that is part of a link set, you will now be prompted with an option to remove them from that single game or from all the games in the link set at once. A formal announcement will follow in the System Updates. Thanks for submitting an idea.

LOCATION TAB
Would be appreciate if there was a tab created that lists all the venues used in the association. This would be nice for new officials to come into a new association and view all the venues, rinks, etc that are being utilized in the association!
3 votesThis has been completed. The Proximity Map on the Members Directory now includes this functionality. You can see our changelog for additional details: http://horizonwebref.com/changelog

insert semicolons in the email list
Give an option to have the email lists that the system generates separated by semicolons instead of commas. Email programs such as Outlook and Windows Mail require semicolons to separate email addresses for bulk recipients and this would save a ton of editing.
2 votesThis has been completed. You may now specify the separator used on the Copy & Paste email list feature.

Document upload notification email change
The current email notification directs you to the documents section. However, if you have multiple directories, the email will not specify the full path. If I upload a document to "Officiating Information" I would like that contained in the hyperlink path. If I upload a document to "Hockey Canada Information", then that would be in the hyperlink path.
Thanks
Lou1 voteThis has been completed. New document uploads now include the full file path in the email notification sent to users. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Mass Payment
Rearding Mass Payment - I would really appreciate being able to remove certain officials when wanting to pay out using the Mass Payment option. To have an "X" be their names on the Mass Payment list of all officials about to be paid and how much owed would be great!
9 votesThis has been completed. You may now selectively remove users from the mass-payment option just prior to completing a Dwolla outbound payment. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Allows you to highlight multiple umpires on payroll sheet to perform electronic payment. Currently it is all or one or multiple (manually)
Once the payroll sheet is pulled up, the assignor should be able to check or highlight people to pay electronically so the entire list is not automatically pulled over. Pulling the entire list could still be an option if you select all. Should be set up same way as we select those to receive email.
1 voteThis has been completed. You may now selectively remove officials from the payouts list just prior to completing the Dwolla outbound payment if you wish to exclude members from receiving that batch of payments. Thank you for submitting an idea.

allows you to edit the travel itinerary
There needs to be an edit button for information that has been inputted into the travel itinerary so when changes occur you don't have to delete and re-input information.
2 votesThis is now complete. Travel arrangements may now be edited using the edit pencil on the travel itinerary page. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Add the "$" ICON to the Mobile App
Add the $ ICON to the Mobile App. Some umpires do not have a laptop or desktop they only use their cell phones or tablets. When they receive payment there only alternative it to find a PC or laptop, usually at a library, to login and indicate PAID.
1 voteThis has been completed. The red/green unpaid/paid status icon for officials is now available via our mobile apps for mobile tracking of received payments. Thanks for submitting an idea!

Allow users to add a profile photo via the mobile app.
Currently users can only add a photo using the internet version of the program. Our association has asked officials to provide a profile photo so assignors can identify young officials from adults, we often recognize faces better than names, etc. due to the fact we have many new officials this year. They cannot do this with the mobile app, which most of our young officials use predominantly.

Automatically Block the entire day when on official declines an assignment
Currently, if an official declines an assignment, the system blocks them for that specific assignment, but they still show to be available for other games on that day. It would be helpful if they were blocked from all games for that date.
1 voteWe’re not in favor of automatically blocking availability, however, we have incorporated a new feature today which will prompt officials immediately to close their availability for a day when they decline an assignment. To use the new feature, you’ll need to ensure the Availability Locking system (Feature #3) is set to either “Only if unaccepted” or “Never” in order to permit officials to immediately change their calendar when they decline an assignment. Thanks for submitting an idea.

Reason for game cancellation
It would be a benefit to have a listing on a cancelled game telling the scheduler why a game from 2 weeks ago was cancelled.

Please add second letter of official first name plus first letter to the master schedule screen.
Name, J. Ellis(Jason Ellis) and J. Ellis(Jenna Ellis ) appear as same name on master schedule screen, officials are too lazy /confused to click on names to see who is working.
3 votesThe system will now dynamically adjust and adapt name display. Instances where 2 officials have the same first initial & last name will now attempt to show alternative variations to help avoid confusion.

searching for games
While using the "Jump to game number" box it would be great to be able to use a wild card in the search string.
1 voteThis has been completed. You may now use the asterisk * as a wildcard when searching for game numbers using the “Jump to game number” search box on the navigation menu. Multiples asterix may be used at any place in the search box if you need multiple wildcards. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Allow games to be "Postponed"
I would like an ability to mark games as postponed. Currently, it appears if a game is scheduled my only option is to cancel the game or change game date/time. I would like to have an option to mark the game postponed. That way I do not lose the officials scheduled to that game nor does the game get billed. But later I can identify a new time for the rescheduled game. This occurs due to weather cancellations and such.
Thanks

Disable accounts without deleting them
Because officials registration expire 11.30 each year is it possible to disable their account temporarily until they complete their certification process? Rather than deleting them until they get completed?

Map view
When you go to assign a game and you can see near by officials on the map. It would be nice to see them by groups instead of all of the officials. We usually try and make our head referee pickup our linesmen on the way to the rink and it would be easier to see this.
6 votesThis has been completed. Proximity Maps on both the Members Directory and the Master Game Schedule pages now have the ability to filter by Contact Groups. Additionally, a new proximity map has been added to the top toolbar of the Assigning Window for schedulers to get a more refined Proximity Map of only the available (or unavailable) officials for a particular game while they are in the midst of the assigning process. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Delete multiple games at once
Really would like to be able to delete multiple games at once rather than deleting each game at a time. Sometimes games get messed up and would be nice to click all the games you wanted deleted and delete at once to save time.
1 voteThis has been completed. A new mass-delete option is now available. Please see our changelog at http://horizonwebref.com/changelog for details.
