Put in tax information
We need to print out 1099 MISC forms to send to each official, it would be great to install a process in Horizons Web Ref program.
6 votesAs we ae not tax experts, we don’t intend to directly offer 1099 services. We do, however, integrate with two fantastic outside providers that will easily generate 1099s based on exports from our system. This is the path we’ll continue on for the foreseeable future to ensure tax information is handled by tax experts.

Column in Assigner window showing games assigned so far for the current month
A column that showed the number of games each official has assigned to him so far in the current month. If it needed to replace a current column I would suggest removing games so far this year column or games turned back column. This would help keep game assignments even for the month without constantly referring to the graph feature at the top of the page.
3 votesUnfortunately, we have already had this idea submitted. We incorporated the brand new Officials Metrics option on the assigning window which shows a number of stats about the users, including the number of games assigned in the month. Unfortunately, there is not enough room for us to include that directly on the assigning window and replacing another column is not available at this time. We may revisit this again in the future, but at this time the Officials Metrics option was our solution provided to this idea, previously submitted. Thank you for the idea, though.

move the new feature request
cannot see the verbiage on the screen because the new feature request section is covering up part of the screen
1 voteIf this item is covering items on your screen, it is because your screen resolution is too small. You should see approximately 1 inch of a buffer zone on both the left and side side of the website. You will either need to make sure your browser window is in full screen or change your computer’s resolution. We recommend at least 1400w, but anything over 1200w should be sufficient. Thank you.

event cancelled or rescheduled ahead of time - notice
when an event has been booked and members have accepted the event but then the event is cancelled or rescheduled it would be nice to still show the event but mark as cancelled or changed not just have it removed from system.
1 voteThis already exists. Cancelled games are not deleted from the system, as long as you mark the game as “Cancelled” and not just flat out delete the game. Deleting the game using the actual delete button is the only way a game is removed from the system. A canceled game is still in your system and still readily accessible. Officials and coaches still see the game no problem. For schedulers, the game (by default) does hide from your schedule since you presumably, won’t be doing any scheduling a cancelled game. However, you can easily view it by changing your schedule filters and allow canceled games to be displayed. Hope that helps. Thank you.

give a .ics calendar link so people can copy into calendars
I would like to be given a link to my schedule so I can have my schedule download it into my calendar
1 voteThis feature already exists. ICS files are readily available for all users using the iCal option at the top of your schedule page. Thank you for the idea, though.

"Home" option
Hi there,
Can we add a "home" option for games?
Thanks,
Robyn1 voteI’m not sure we understand this idea. What would this “home” option do? What’s the purpose? Is this for adding games? Searching for games? Please explain the request in full detail so we can consider it or point you to a feature that already exists. Thank you.

White background please :-)
Hi there,
The black background makes it really hard to read the print-outs, and they make very dark, grainy copies.
Thanks!
Robyn1 voteWe do not control the system colors. Our default colors include a blue background, however, your scheduler can choose and modify the system colors to their own preferences. You’ll need to talk with them about their color preference. Hope that helps. Thank you for submitting, though.

ability to list all games assigned after they have scrolled off the system
I am trying to generate a list of my games but they have all removed from the "game schedule" option to confirm what I actually umpired.
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can view just about any date range you’d like by adjusting your schedule filters. Thank you.

We have not made any changes to the Google Calendar integration. The feature is still available as it always has been and is still an option in your Personal Profile. Nothing has changed. Hope that helps.

Blocking coaches from sending mass emails
users are using the email function to send unauthorized emails promoting non approved events or soliciting others to participate in unapproved programs.. Programs that are not approved by system administrator.
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can prevent mass emails by limiting the number of recipients allowed in an email message. This is a setting in your System Settings. Thank you.

blind email distribution
the ability to send emails without others seeing the emails. This would prevent pirating of email distribution list
1 voteThis feature already exists. All emails are blindly distributed. Thank you.

sets availability default setting to "available."
As it is now, I have to individually change the setting to "available" for every single day, except on those days when I'm unavailable. Or maybe there is a way for me to do this myself, although I haven't found one.
1 voteUnfortunately, this is not something we will be incorporating. We have done extensive research on this topic and have found that by setting the default to UNAVAILABLE it makes much less work for the schedulers. You can use the recurring availability adjuster to update more than just 1 day at a time if you want. You can also use this to set yourself as available all the time. The default, however, will remain UNAVAILABLE. Thank you for the idea, though.

Once a game is scheduled, allow an official to block out time on the same day
A game is assigned say at 9AM. So the official makes plans for the evening like 4pm. We need to be able to block out from 3pm on, even if a game is scheduled. Moreso, this helps if a game is removed and the assignor wants to move you to a different time, or add games to your day. I have had several instances where I have made plans based on the schedule, only to have games taken off, then doubles or triples put on the same day when there are conflicts later in the day.
1 voteThis feature already exists. This is controlled by your scheduler and they can opt to turn this feature off, if they desire. Thank you.

Allows Managers to remove an umpire
I have had two games that only had one umpire show up although two are still listed. Originally, I only rated the umpire that arrived, but after the endless barrage of emails every day, I had to go back and give the other umpire a rating that he did not deserve, just to stop the emails...
1 voteWe have decided not to incorporate this. Managers accounts are free accounts and are very limited. Additionally, there is a whole world of problems that could arise by allowing managers to remove umpires. Only schedulers will be allowed to control assignments. Thank you for the idea, though.

A TBA email when sent to officials will include a list of a number of games. A TBA email could contain one or hundreds of games in the email, depending on how many the user submitted for TBAs. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for the idea, though.
-
Rather than have to open each TBA seperately. list the date and venue in the subject.
Opening 10 or 12 extra emails each day only to find out it is a date I am already working is frustrating and time consuming. I should bve able to open only the dates I am available for and delete the rest.
1 voteI’m not sure I fully understand your request, because a TBA email when sent to officials will include a list of a number of games. Putting the date & venue in the subject is not possible, because a TBA email could contain hundreds of games in the email, depending on how many the user submitted for TBAs. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for the idea, though.

PLease add "Profile" to the right hand menu
PLease add "profile" to the menu instead of that little pencil icon. I find it way to hard to find
1 voteThis already exists. You can find your personal profile by clicking the edit pencil next to your name at the top of the right hand menu. The profile is also found in various other areas like the Administrative Forms or the Members Directory so it can be found in many places. Unfortunately, we won’t be adding it as a main object on the navigation menu as it is not a core feature, but rather a setting. Thank you for the idea, though.

Official Contact Information in Yellow Icon
When clicking on yellow icon for officials, have the contact information(phone number) for that official appear.
1 voteI’m not sure I fully understand this feature request, but the yellow icon you are referring to is indicating Position, not officials. In any case, though, coaches already have access to contact information for officials (if turned on in your system settings) and can obtain that by viewing the game details. Hope that helps. Thank you for the idea.

Shows only games umpired for the current year to the end of the season
Create for the individual umpire, the ability to select a date period that can display and/or print out as desired, all games umpired by that same umpire, during any time of the year, up to the day before the current date.
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can specify any date range you’d like to see using the Schedule Filters. Thank you for submitting and idea, though.
