add memo or text reason for why games was cancelled.
4 votesThe system will now prompt for a cancellation reason when cancelling a game. The reasoning is included in email notifications and on the Game Details page. You may also use the Schedule Filters to search specifically for a few of the key cancellations reasons such as weather and postponement to quickly reschedule those games using our regular rescheduling methods. Thanks for submitting an idea!

As an assignor onthe mobile app I should be able to remove an official from an assignment directly from the master schedule.
Not unlike the desktop master schedule view.
My weekends are slowed down by having to go into game detail views to remove officials so I can then assign another.
This fix would save an enormous amount of time when I'm on the road making updates from my Android or iPad.
Also consider being able to link and unlink games from mobile as well.
More and more people are going mobile first and I would probably use my devices for majority of initial assigning if these were implemented.
4 votesThis has been completed and added to the Tablet version of the system. We have still left it off the mobile phone version of the system due to space constraints, but the tablet version on an iPad or Android tablet will now allow this. Thank you for the idea.

Add native French Language Support
Provide a localized version for French that can be user controlled by preference. Menus and system messages would be presented in the language choice of the user. If that can't be done, provide a global language preference for that league.

Better User Groups
Now that you have auto-assigning functionality (still love where you're taking this), it might make sense to look at how groups are created and managed.
For instance, I use groups for the auto-assigning.
I have 6 different groups that represent the highest levels an official can do -- each official belongs in one group only.
Right now, there doesn't seem to be a way to see who is in what groups, and find officials that we haven't yet placed in a group for auto-assigning purposes.
It would be great if there was a screen or a way to see all…
4 votesThis has been completed. You may now view all the groups that a user belongs to by clicking on their name and viewing their Mini Profile. This will display a list of all their group memberships. Additionally, we’ve now also provided an option in the Contact Groups section for you to view a list of all the officials that are not currently in any contact groups and quickly add them to a contact group so no one falls through the cracks. A System Update will be published with further details. Thank you.

Allows the editing of travel plans instead of having to delete and create a new entry.
Currently, when you need to make a change to any of the travel intinerary entries, you have to delete the old entry and create an entirely new one. It'd be nice if there was an option to just go in a edit the entry in the case there is a mistake or plans change.
4 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 "Last Month" selection criteria next to "Current Month" in Schedule Search & Filter
Since most of us are typically paid during the next calendar month, it would be helpful to have a "Last Month" selection next to the "Current Month" slection in the Schedule Search & Filter menu bar>
4 votesThis has been completed and is now available on the desktop/laptop version as well as the tablet version of the system. Unfortunately, there is no remaining space for additional options on the phone version of the system. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Email addresses and phone numbers have always had a “Private” option that users can select to hide their information. We’ve now added an option to mark your addresses as private as well. This is now available in your Personal Profile. Thank you for submitting an idea.

4 votes
This has been completed. Addresses may now be marked as “Private” in your personal profile which will hide the actual street address in exports and the personal profiles from all members, except assignors and administrators, who will still have access to this information. Thank you for submitting an idea.

AUTOMATION: MASS EDIT - Time of Games
Can we add a way to MASS EDIT - time of games?
I have a lot of games that re-curring every week for 3 months at 9pm and 10pm. All the 9pm are now 11pm, but I have to go through all the games individually to change the game times. Feel like this should be added to the Automation list!
Thank you!
4 votesGame Time is now an option via the Mass-Edit Automation Tool to perform game time changes in bulk.

A column on the members page of reffing level & yrs of experience.
A column on the members page of reffing level & yrs experience. It might help with the "Qualified Only" responses.
3 votesA feature that handles this is already available, but it must be setup by your scheduler. I recommend contacting your scheduler to have them activate the feature(s). Thank you for the idea, though.

Official Capability Report
Establish a feature where every member official has a single capability report which could summarize (calculate averages) capability ratings provided by only the Association schedulers (those who know of the official's capabilities). This capability report would be available in a separate column (like the manual ranking column) and would be available to schedulers to open when they are considering assigning an individual. The results of this report would desireably not be available for viewing by the official. A schedulers rating on an official's capabilities could be updated to reflect improved or decreased values at any time but the report will…
3 votesThis feature is now complete and available under the Observers Ratings System. See our recent System Update for additional details. Thank you for the idea.

assignor would like to use subset of whole state refs as my default; let me specify one of my groups
I wait 2-3 minutes each time i work on a game for the entire state database to search availability of 200+ refs. Let me specify one of my groups as default, and load time will be much, much less
3 votesWe have added this feature. Thank you for the request. A formal announcement will follow in the System Updates section.

Adjust the assignment analysis export tool
We would greatly appreciate it if you could adjust the assignment analysis (home and away) exports to work within the schedule filters. The major reason for this is that we really only need the assignment analysis for the regular season – not necessary at all for the exhibition and in the playoffs we don’t really worry about this report at that time either.
“Part 2” of this request (in a perfect world) would be to allow the admin to extract only referees instead of the complete list of officials that are exported. What I maen to explain here is that…
3 votesThe assignment analysis reports now all support the use of the schedule filters to filter out the report by various options. Hope that helps. Thank you for the idea!

Audit Trail Report (by Official) for each decline and turnback.
It would be very helpful to keep the history by official for each decline and turnback so you can monitor behaviors of these officials and see at a glance who the problem one's are.

Un-Request TBA
Allow officials to un-request a game if they are no longer available on that date. TBA requests currently overide days they have blocked out. This causes un-neccesary assignments to officials that are not available when they once were.

Game Alerts
If an official has been removed from an assignment for whatever reason and a new official assigned, an email notification should be sent to the remaining officials on the crew. For example, "something has changed with your upcoming assignment."
Also, you should be able to choose which notifications you would like to receive in each provided communication. Ie: check each box for each of the following: Game Reminder, New Game, New Event, Game Change, Unassigned, Event Reminder.
Have a table set up for which notifications you would like to have sent to your email(s) and/or cell phone(s).
3 votesA notification is now sent when an official / personnel change is made on a game. Thank you.

Integrates Calendar to add assignments to Google Apps accounts
Works great with "Gmail" accounts but will not integrate with google apps accounts - even after adding the required XXX@group.calendar.google.com in google calendar ID
3 votesThis feature already exists. We have confirmed that it is functioning properly with Google Apps accounts. The google calendar ID is required to authenticate, but it is functioning as expected. Thank you.
