  1. 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.

    This 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.

  2. Recurring availability range setup no less than 8 months

    Date range option equal to or greater than 8 months selectable range.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    This 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.

  5. 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?

    We'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!

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. When the option to change my availability has been locked, screen should state that.

    When MS introduced greyed out menu options it drove us all mad, and still does. "You can look but you can't touch." Horizon goes yet another step and doesn't even show the availability option greyed out when Availability has been locked by the Scheduler.

  14. usa hockey level show value on assigning screen

    On the assigning game screen, show/visible USA hockey level.0(no level) thru 4. This would allow for leagues/teams to see if referees are certified for that level of hockey.

  15. MEMOS DISPLAYED - DON'T HAVE TO SIGN IN TO VIEW

    NOTE FROM ONE OF OUR MEMBERS
    Also, the message telling me that there is a new memo. This is ridiculous, forcing me to log on just to see the memo. If the system can send out a message to everyone telling us to log on to see a new memo, why not just send us the memo in the first place? This wastes our time.

  18. MY SCHEDULE

    I love that I can sync / calendar match my schedules... meaning I can make one change in one of my 3 calendars and all the calendars are synced with that new availability.

    Any chance our individual MY SCHEDULE can also reflect that? Meaning, regardless of which groups I am signed in with I can see all of the games I am assigned without having to leave one group to go to another?
