can allow an administrator to text message all umpires that are scheduled for that day
This would be beneficial to help during rainouts or delays of game due to weather.
1 voteThis functionality already exists via our regular cancellation procedures which should be followed for any rainouts. Custom text messaging is also available as an add-on feature.

TBA Email Notifications
Email notifications are missing a critical piece of information, IMHO. Is it possible to add into the gray section at the bottom of the notification email what the role is that one is trying to fill? This would be either the referee, or linesman role for the game in question that is being put up TBA.
All the other information in the email notification is great.
Current fields at the bottom of the email are:

Include games assigned in availability CSV export
My cohort in assigning likes to work from the availability export ro .csv for weekend days. Currently, if is an official si available all day that item shows as does notes under availability. Games assigned for that day already do not show up in this export, you have to run over the icon on the availability screen. Cumbersome. Thank you for consideration.

View Game Notes Before Accepting
YOU CAN NOT SEE GAMES NOTES TILL YOU ACCEPT THE GAME.
1 voteYou don’t need to navigate to the Game Details page to view Game Notes. Game Notes can be accessed directly on the Game Schedule page. If you need help with locating this, you can contact Live Chat.

Allow "guest referees" from other associations to be added to a game like a TBA, or allow "guest associations" to be added so I can pay them
Allow "guest referees" from other associations to be added to a game like a TBA, or allow "guest associations" to be added to the game or take one two or three positions of the game, so I can have a record of the game and pay the association my fees.
0 votesUnfortunately, this is something we’ve already decided that we will not be incorporating into our platform. You’ll need to add your guest referees as members to assign and track them. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Availability overview
It would be great if I could schedule right from the availability overview. I can see all available referees on the overview, click on the available date, and it would be nice if a list of available games popped up so I could assign the official right there
0 votesUnfortunately, this is something we don’t intend to add at this time. Availability is only 1 of over 30 factors used by the system to determine eligibility so scheduling from the Availability Overview gives a false sense of accuracy. We intend to leave scheduling operations strictly on the Master Game Schedule page. Thanks for submitting an idea!

When you change search parameters, it should default to last date entered
Why do I have to always change the search end date that defaults to the same day, when I want to search? And how come once i change the end date, it does not remember/save it? Thanks.
1 voteYou can set your default date range in your Personal Profile under the Preferences tab.

Ratings
The word "publish" in coaches ratings indicates to them that officials will be able to view rating which is not the case only the coordinator can view. Can "publish" be changed to "viewable by Officiating Coordinator only" and provide option to not have ratings be anonymous in the tool?
1 votePublishing does indeed allow officials to view ratings. This option works in conjunction with the settings you have selected for Feature #36 in your System Settings.

Need to create a placeholder or Guest Official
This guest official should be created so if an official is being used to help out for a tournament from outside your association, officials can see they will have a partner and that the proper number of official assignments can be billed automatically to the league without having to manually track and modify the invoice to the tournament.
3 votesUnfortunately, this is something we will not be incorporating into our systems. Thank you for submitting an idea!

Allow the use of the same e-mail address and phone number for multiple referees
I have referees that have their schedules monitored by a parent. Due to the age of the referees (11-14), they are not used to monitoring their e-mail or may not yet have a smartphone. When the referees are in the same family a mother or father may monitor/accept/decline assignments for them. If each of the referees can have both their own individual e-mail/phone BUT ALSO the parent's e-mail/phone I as an assignor will have a much faster and consistent response. I understand there are security reasons for not allowing this. Possibly you can have multiple referees on a single account…
1 voteUnfortunately, this is something we do not plan to support for security reasons. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Sort TBA by referee position
In our association, we have 3 referee positions for each game (Referee, Assistant 1, Assistant 2). Often, when sending out TBAs, most officials only want to officiate as a referee, but there are still some officials who want to be assistants.
A feature to sort TBAs by referee position would be helpful, so that officials don't need to click into each match to see what positions are available. Most of our matches have referees assigned, but there are always a few spots, and searching through the whole list of sometimes in excess of 100 matches is quite tedious. Thank you!

PROOF rOSTER
Enable scheduler to do a draft roster as currently when I unpublish games it the removes the TBAs.
1 voteThis functionality already exists. “Draft Rosters” are very much integrated into our system and are used by nearly every organization we service. Unpublishing a game does not affect the results received for a TBA Request. This is, in fact, the recommended scheduling method which is to collect TBA responses, unpublish the game, create your assignments and then republish when you’re satisfied.

Incident Reports without Teams
Need to be able to use teams to open incident reporting but need home/away function to have the option to be turned off. Travel ball organizations don't establish home/away until minutes before game time via coin toss. This has been confusing for our coaches and umpires.

Availability Calendar. Please put a feature in the availability calendar that shows all referees availability at the same time
Availability Calendar. Please put a feature in the availability calendar that shows all referees availability at the same time so that I can see all available referees on one calendar
1 voteThis functionality already exists. You can see a composite view of all officials availability using the Availability Overview Graph.

Be able to pull up games by Game ID#
If we could filter games by specific Game ID#s for easy access to certain games, that would be very helpful
1 voteThis feature already exists via the Jump To option in the navigation menu.

Field Phone Number
The phone number in the "Enter New Field" should only be one text box. It's additional work to tab between 3 boxes and the time adds up when you have to enter many fields (I have almost 300 to upload)

Support Chat Wait Queue
If the support chat is busy, you should have the option to wait in a queue and be notified when the support person is free. Currently the only option is to email or wait until later when the chat is available.
1 voteWe certainly like the idea, but unfortunately, the Live Chat software application we utilize is developed and provided via a third-party provider so we do not have direct control over that application. We’ll certainly look for expanded functionality offers from them or other providers in the future, but there isn’t anything our engineers can do for this item currently. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Makes it easy for users to flip their availability calendar from the default of 100% unavailability to 100% available. Just add a button
Makes it easy for users to flip their availability calendar from the default of 100% unavailability to 100% available. This would be really helpful to me and my users. Keep the default as it is. But just add a button that will allow users to make themselves 100% available. From there, they might choose a couple of days to make themselves unavailable
1 voteWe are not in favor of a single one-button approach to this, but the functionality does already exist to accomplish this via the Recurring Availability Adjuster. Utilizing that tool will allow officials to quickly update all their days to available, if desired. Thank you for submitting an idea.

API to integrate into GotSoccer
Currently GotSoccer software allows updates to schedules to automatically update the referee schedule in Arbiter referee assigning software. Wanted to see if there was a potential API we can use for Horizon as well.
1 voteGotSoccer does not have their own public API so there isn’t anything we can do on our end to provide integration options. We do already provide a public API for any external service to connect to our system, but you would need to contact GotSoccer and ask them to utilize our API for integration.
