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.

Field Bulk Upload
You should be able to bulk upload fields the same way you do teams. Either upload a file with the addresses themselves or the latitude and longitude.
(I have 290 fields to load and it's going to take me a long time).

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.

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.

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?
1 voteThis functionality is now completed and available as part of our Officials Readiness Status feature. You can learn more about this here: https://horizonwebref.com/changelog/89664

Removing Official from Linked assignments on Mobile Apps
When an official declines a set of games or if I simply need to juggle the schedule, the mobile app doesn't allow me to "remove official from linked assignments" like we can when using HWR on a PC. It has to be done game by game. I use Android, am I missing something or is it the same for everyone?
7 votesThis has been completed and is now available. You may refer to this changelog announcement for details on this new functionality: https://horizonwebref.com/changelog/96927

Link unaccepted games to the notification on the home page for assignors to go directly to the game
Put a link in to unaccepted games so the assignor can click it and go directly to the game. Rather than having to search the persons schedule to find the unaccepted game.
1 voteThis feature has been completed. The link shown in the Reminders box will not send you directly to the referenced games that are unaccepted and eliminate the extra step of searching for the games with the filters. 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.

Grouped Game Shading
Sometimes when you group you forget how you grouped the games, and without a lot of clicking it's hard to remember. I suggest shading, or color the line of each game the same color that are grouped, so that you can tell more easily if you did it the way you intended. It would save a bunch of back and forth.

0 votesThis has been completed. Selecting Unavailable Officials will retain the Group Filters.

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.

context or rationale for canceled games
ISSUE: As a scheduler I would like to see an optional text box opened up when I go to cancel an Assigned, Published and Accepted game. The associated text information (ratioanle or context for cancelation) would then be sent to the umpires affected whrn the scheduling tool dispatches the cancelation notice via email
as of right now, I cannot find a way to do this without first sending an email to the affected umpires, then cancel the gameUnlike a Turnback request - where an Umpire can add context or rationale for turning back a game....and the scheduler has this…
1 voteThe 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!

Mass Edit of Games
It woudl be nice to mass edit game schedules. When having a whole night to reschedule, it would be nice to be able to update all dates and not just have to do 1 game at a time without having to export and re-import. When dealing with 80 games a night it is a pain.
0 votesThis feature has been completed and is now available in the Automation menu of the top toolbar on your Master Game Schedule.

allow officials ratings using mobile apps
Most observers have access to mobile app only when observing an official. Having access to the rating feature would probably increase the feedback received from observers
2 votesThis has been completed. Observer Ratings can now be submitted via the mobile versions of the system.

On mobile app schedule show home team first.
Currently in the details section it shows the visiting team first rather than the home team. I honestly don't care who the visiting team is, I need to know where I need to be. Therefore, listing the game as "Home Team vs Visiting team would be much quicker and easier and just make more sense.
1 voteOur revised version of the schedule pages now lists the home team first on the mobile versions of the system.

When linking games give each linked set a link number. when i link games for a busy day i only see the linked icon, not specifically which n
replace the link icon with a identifier number specific to that link instead of the same icon on the whole page.
1 voteThe Game Linking System icons are now presented to assignors and schedulers with a varying background color to help quickly visualize which games belong to which link set without needing to open the entire Link Set for viewing. Each link set will have its own randomly generated color assigned while viewing your schedule. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Allows Assignors to change Official's positions in the Mobile App.
Create a feature similar to the Desktop version that allows officials to be moved from one position to another in the same game without having to remove and re-assign.
Officials should not have to re-accept when this is done.
7 votesThis has been completed. The change positions option is now available via our mobile apps on the Game Details page. You may see this change notice for details: https://horizonwebref.com/changelog/95574
