Option to remove games from personal schedule once they're completed
The Personal Schedule currently displays completed games, which forces a long scroll before you can see upcoming assignments. Please add an option to hide all completed games so the Personal Schedule shows only future games.
3 votesThis functionality already exists simply by using the date selectors. Setting your date selector to use a future date range only will automatically hide past games.

In the schedule menu, you should keep the top portion static while allowing scrolling
I'd like to suggest a change to the interface. In the schedule menu, you should keep the top portion static while allowing scrolling through the games. That way you can manage the list without having to roll up and down repeatedly
That would be the My Schedule and the Date selection options.
1 votePlease use the Share Feedback on New Horizon option in the new interface for any New Horizon feedback. We're not accepting suggestions for the new interface via this platform yet.

new interface: some improvements, but lost some fuctionality—bring back "accept all" please
I used to be able to accept all when I opened new assignments. It also used to take me automatically to a page that showed all my new assignment offers and nothing else, whereas now I have to click on another button to show new assignments that needed my action.
3 votesThe accept all functionality still exists in the new Horizon. It can be found in the top page title bar when you have 2 or more unaccepted assignments on your schedule. Screenshot attached.

location block feature should not be managed by league admins, this feature should be available to everyone regardless of Admin choice
Allow individuals users to add location blocks (mostly since you don't have a good system to save location filters to profile)... currently this feature must be turned on by admis for a group... but if I dont want to work at a location... why not allow users to block it regardless of admin desire?
1 voteThank you for submitting idea. Unfortunately, we've decided not to incorporate this request. We leave management responsibilities up to individual officiating organizations to allow them to manage their business practices at their discretion. We recommend you contact your officiating organization if you'd like them to enable the Location Block List feature for their organization.
This feature is ON by default, so if it is off, your organization must have explicitly decided to turn it off.

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.

Add a Column in the schedule view to see the Position
It would make my life easier if, when viewing the schedule, I could see my position, referee, and linesperson. Add position to details.

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!

Allow to save similar availibility for multiple dates at once
When I am scheduling my availibility, and I am available after 3:30 pm from Monday to Friday, for example, there should be an option to do this all at once.

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.
1 voteThis functionality already exists via our TBA System which can be enabled by officiating organizations at their discretion.

Friend Other Officials
Create a system where officials who know each other can friend each other on the website/app, and request each other for games, allowing greater opportunities for meetups between knowing officials and carpools for officials who can't drive themselves.

Ability to request help and additional training for certain aspects of officiating
As a ref, I have experience, but still sometimes struggle with calling certain penalties. I would love to see a system where you can request additional training and assistance with making these calls. I know that it may be more difficult because of covid, but I believe this will really help refs who didn't get the on-ice training this year due to covid, such as myself.

Require Game Reports From Officials
This should be game dependent. Playoffs require this report as mandatory and regular season is optional.
In "Features & Settings", when enabled, the assignor should have to option for yes or no when adding a game.

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.
