Have the ability to delete a user without removing their name from previous games
I have officials/umpires that want to leave the association, but if their account is deleted all history is removed including game assignments. payroll etc. At least have a way to deactivate their access and notifications.
1 voteThis functionality already exists. Removing a member from an organization does not delete their previous game assignments. All previous game assignments are always retained when a member is removed from an organization.

Allow the assignor to pull a mass availability report for a specific date or date range
I would like to pull a report to see all referees availability for a specific date or date range and be able to export it to a file. I am assigning for a large event and would like to see all referees availability for the entire day. This would be helpful
Ie…
John smith available 8:00a-3:00p
Joe blow not available
Nancy fancy available 8:00a-10:00a and 1:00p-5:00p3 votesThis functionality already exists via the Availability Export options.

Add Group Text button inside an assignment for officials to create a group text
This is very similar to the idea in https://horizonwebref.uservoice.com/forums/66397-feature-suggestions/suggestions/36052912-contact-crew-by-sms that is in the Assignors and Schedulers area, but this would be more specific for officials assigned to a specific game. We have the ability to text a single member of the crew but do not have the ability to create a group text to communicate with all members of the crew. This would be very helpful for members of the crew to communicate with each other before or after assignments.
3 votesThis already exists. This functionality is currently available through our Android apps. At this time, Apple does not allow iOS apps to initiate group texts, so until Apple loosens that restriction, we're unable to bring that functionality to our iOS apps. The functionality is already built, but iOS restrictions prohibit its use.

Enable support for additional MFA options. Yubikey, Lastpass, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.
Support for additional MFA options to allow people to use the one with which they are familiar. To be secure shouldn't require people to be locked down to Google if they are already using a different product, as the end goal is better security.
3 votesThis functionality already exists. Our MFA system is not limited to Google Authenticator. This is just one of the most well known applications for this purpose that we provide as an example.
Our MFA feature supports any authenticator app that provides OTP (One-Time Password) codes and can be initialize via a QR Code. That includes, but is not limited to, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, LastPass Authenticator, Duo Mobile, 1Password, FreeOTP, Authenticator Plus, and many others.

Add a feature that when you enter unavailable time in the calendar it would check your existing TBA requests and notify if you
Add a feature that when you enter unavailable time in the calendar it would check your existing TBA requests and notify if you have any that overlap with unavailable time?
1 voteWe've decided not to incorporate this idea. The TBA System is intended to intentionally override your availability calendar settings which is a core aspect of the system. At this time, we don't plan to change this. Thank you for submitting an idea! Keep them coming!

Is it possible to see the rinks the official is at during the day in addition to the last rink of the day?
When looking at the schedule of officials, a scheduler can see that a certain official is already on other games by the red triangle with the exclamation point. However, only the last rink is visible. In the example below, the official is at South Suburban – Rink 1
This is an extreme example of someone who is already on many games in one day, but they are not at the same rink all day long. When that is the case, the scheduler may look to see if they are available but cannot tell where they are except for the last…7 votesWe've decided not to incorporate this idea at this time.

Option for referees to bid on Games
Presently all referees can see the weekly games schedule under my schsdule.
Suggest an option be added once a referee views this schedule, he or she should be able to bid on this game.
This would be useful for younger referees.
Have an option only 5 people can bid and the Assignr can decide who to award the game to1 voteThis functionality already exists via the TBA System.

List the name of the TOWN, ST after the name of the rink
Or can you make that a filter option. Listing by states or even towns would be helpful. Even scrolling down the list of rink names if they also had the ( town name, state ) also
1 voteWe've decided to keep our existing functionality for this. We leave location name formatting up to the individual officiating organizations and allow them to decide how best to format the names of their locations.

Scheduling
Create a way to sync the game schedule on Horizon to an iPhone Calendar. I put everything in my calendar and I have to manually enter every single game, so an automatic entry into the iPhone calendar once a game is accepted would be nice.

Allows for the officials to communicate together in order to switch games between themselves if possible.
Basically the idea is that a referee is assigned a certain amount of games for the year. This referee can decide for a night that he wants to plan something to not referee the games that he has already taken, by posting the games on another page on the site in which all other referees can see those games and can pick them up if they so desire, working on a first come, first serve basis.
