calculates mandatory breaks out of pay roll
Could you put a pull down tab that would subtract a lunch if you choose like a 30min period or other so that when we pull the payroll summary they are accurate and you don't have to manually subtract the lunches this would be most helpful

Adding multiple emails & phone numbers to one account
I just added my teenage son's information for his new account. I would like to be able to add additional emails & cell phone information for both my wife and I, so that we can insure that we all get the information.
4 votesUnfortunately, we will not be enabling shared emails or phone numbers for security reasons to protect our system and our users’ identities.

allows you to turn off the "pop-up help window."
I can fairly easily now navigate around the site and don't need the pop-up help window to tell me what each of the features on the site are for. thank you.
4 votesWe’ve decided not to incorporate this at this time. With a system as large as ours, it can take quite a while for users to reach every area we have to offer. Our inline help options provide instruction and guidance on the system and many users reach certain instructional items many years after they’ve been a user. Although we’re not in favor of this request, we’ll continue to evaluate the best ways to educate users on our system to improve our educational tools.

Have an override on "locked out" when your availability has changed
Things change and the only way I communicate with the system is to unaccept a game -- its frustrating
4 votesAs the anonymous commenter pointed out, the lockout is only created when your scheduler has started to edit your scheduler. The best idea is to contact your scheduler since changing your availability is going to throw a wrench in their scheduling process anyways. We have elected not to incorporate this request. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Assignment Larger acceptance / rejection buttons/icons
The acceptance and rejection of game buttons are very small and very close together. It would be very easy to hit the wrong button. Especially with fingers on a touch device.
4 votesUnfortunately, we’ve decided not to incorporate this at this time. Our touch device interfaces already feature larger icons and we don’t plan to change the desktop / laptop icon sizes at this time. Thanks for submitting an idea.

Allow league personnel to rate officials
Allow league personnel to rate officials just like coaches and fellow officials can do.
4 votesWe’ve decided not to incorporate this idea. We have other user types that are available that would be better suited for this scenario. Thank you for submitting an idea.

return the update button on the availability page
I am quite surprised, and disappointed, with this change. Clicking an update button at the end of entering changes, especially on a page where lots of information could be accidentally changed with an inadvertent mouse click, is just standard web interface protocol.
Without the update button, the only way to ensure the change has gone through is to regenerate that page. For example, your provider has a momentary glitch, and one of your updates is not applied, but how would you know? The previous way, where the changed dates would flash in succession, was absolutely perfect. I hope we return…
3 votesWe have decided not to incorporate this idea, however,we have added additional notifications to the calendar page so that you can be more aware that your change has successfully been recorded. A System Update has been posted with additional details. Thank you.

iPad/Android App
An app that allows mobile devices to access horizonwebref. Doesn't necessarily need the entire interface but an app that gives access to schedule, members roster and school addresses would be helpful.
3 votesThere is an existing idea that is identical to this one already in the feature request list. Please vote on the existing idea instead of creating a new one. Thank you.

Would be great to be able to click something to download someone's contact card to your phone from the app. simplifies the process of having to add people to your contacts via desktop & uploads

Officials Ability System
Rather then using a numberic ability system, allow assignors to use a check box system to show what level each official is capable of working. This can be set up in the member director page.
3 votesI believe this feature already exists. If I understand your request correctly, you want to specify whether or not an official is eligible for a specific level. This can be accomplished using the Game Code block system. Likewise, you could also use the Position block system. This is essentially the exact same system you are proposing.
-
Allow an official or assignor choose "minimum" game level for an official.
This would prevent very senior officials from showing up when scheduling mite or squirt games for example.
3 votesThis feature already exists, using our Manual Ranking system you can set minimum/maximum ranking levels to restrict the qualifications of officials that will display in your available officials list. Thanks!

A way to trade/swap games because TBAing is frowned upon.
A place where officials can put games up for trade instead of just "ditching" them on the the scheduler because things pop up and we are pretty much not allowed to TBA games or else we get blacklisted.
3 votesThis feature already exists. I’m not sure we understand or can accommodate this request. The TBA system does exactly what you’re describing. It is a method for trading and/or swapping games. If trading or swapping games is frowned upon, there’s nothing we could do on our end to change that.

Ability to Print Invoices to an Excel Format
Allow the Administrator to Print Invoices into Excel. This will allow them to sort as needed.
3 votesThis feature already exists. Payroll and billing data is available for export using the Payroll Exports at the top of the Master Schedule. Hope that helps. Thank you.

Full support for 'Stored Password' function in Safari Browser
It would be great if there was full support for the 'stored password' password functionality in he safari browser. Currently when a username is validated the password field is effectively cleared and the password associated with the username is deleted.
3 votesWe intentionally do not support browser’s saved password functionality for security reasons. We do not plan to eliminate this. Thank you for submitting an idea.

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.

Game Details
My Game Details Pop-Up has a very small width set, and I must scroll left and right constantly to read the information. It would be nice to have it as wide as this feedback request pop-up...
3 votesThe game details page takes on 90% of the screen width at this time, so it is quite large. If you are experiencing trouble with this, please open a help ticket using Step#4 of the Get Help option. Thank you.

Different Scheduler's Fees for Different Leagues
Currently the scheduler's fee is global. It would be hugely beneficial if the schedulers fee or admin fee could differ by game code, league, team, etc. We charge different fees to different teams and organizations to schedule officials, and as current, we must invoice all of our teams with fee of X, then change the fee and invoice teams that are charged Y. It's a bottle neck and a pain. Thanks for your consideration.
3 votesThis feature already exists. You can use the Positions table to manage separate billable fees instead of using the global scheduling fees. For example, setting a billable fee of $100 with a $10 deduction would mean that the league would be billed $100 including the $10 scheduling fee, the official would receive $90. Hope that helps. Thank you.

mass deletion of schedule
In the event of a rain out of an event, assignors should be able to mass delete all games for that day at the appropriate venue(s) so that we don't have to go game by game to delete each game.
3 votesGames that are rained out should never be deleted. Rain-outs should be addressed using the “Cancellation” process. A mass-cancel option is already available via the top toolbar.

Observer Metrics
Report out on the # of games that are observed by game code. The league has requested % of games observed and not able to print out observers in master game schedule.
