Automatically email report of scheduled games daily to Assignor.
Please create a reporting area that assignors can use to create reports and have them emailed daily, weekly, etc...
It would be great to have a report emailed that would show the scheduled games for a day with umpires for each game listed.

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.

Master Game Schedule viewing
Many umpires would like to see the "master schedule" so they know a full list of games. Some umpires look ahead at games, and book their work schedule to accommodate upcoming games. I'd like an option so I can share the master game schedule with all umpires. Currently, I think they can only see their own personal schedule.
1 voteThis functionality already exists via the Public Schedule which can be enabled via Feature #21 in your System Settings.

allow multiple or mass availability preferences for umpires
Block or repeat availability.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to select, (high light, or block) a group of days (like a Monday through Friday) and set your availability for the selected period. ie "Available after 5:00pm")
It is somehat monotonous to input your availability one day at a time for the entire season.
Please advise.1 voteThis feature already exists. Contact support if you need assistance using this.

any member can see the officials scheduled in the public schedule
I am not an assignor, but am an instructor/evaluator, and at times I like to go to the park unannounced to observe and evaluate. It would be beneficial for me to be able to check working umpires on a given night and see if there is someone I need to check in on.

Allow separate email addresses for officials and coaches
I keep my coaching and officiating email addresses separate, so it would be nice to get separate emails...not have emails for open dates or other games come into my email for officiating for example.
Since I have to choose which I am entering when I log in it would be nice to separate communication.1 voteUnfortunately, this is something we’ve evaluated in the past and will not be incorporating into our systems. Thanks for submitting and idea!

Create the ability to share ratings with other association assignors.
The summer association assignor and I work with a number of the same officials across jr. high, high school, college, and summer contests. The ability to share ratings and comments across associations would facilitate the mentoring and development of officials.

Mentorship / Evaluation Assignments
We generally like to have our more experienced umpires, particularly adults, be in attendance to support our younger and less experienced officials throughout the season. We also have games where we need to formally evaluate our officials for the Sport organization.
Would it be possible to schedule those mentorship nights for those involved in that aspect? It would make it easier for us to know who's available for what night, and where they could be used (field-wise).
Thanks in advance.

Allows Members to Email non-members or coach contacts listed in entered team info
Currently our assigner has entered host school info for the high schools we are calling games for. We as officials have to contact the coaches prior to our games for various reason. As it is now, we click on the email links in this area of the program and it sends you to the members email area but when you click on the to: draw down all that is there are the umpires. So to send the email I am having to copy past the email address into an external email system.

Availability Locking Options
I would suggest an amendment to Feature #3 for Availability Locking. It would like to see the option for locked only with declined or unaccepted assignments changed so that there is no option, even with accepted assignments to go back and select "Not Available" for the entire day. I would like to see Before, After or In Between hours available so that officials can't go back and say they were unavailable for the entire day even if they've accepted assignments.

I would like the ability to mark a worked game as paid. Perhaps the ability turn the game a different color when I receive payment.

Allow Documents to contain links to external sites
The documents section is full, however not all documents I have posted need to be hosted in HorizonWebRef. If I could add a document as a link instead of a file upload, I could host or link to documents elsewhere, and have all my documents organized together.

Show Warning Triangle For Unavailable Officials Who Have Games
I would like to see the warning triangle for officials who are unavailable due to games being skated. This way if they inadvertently respond to a TBA, the assignor can see that they already have games scheduled and that's the reason they are unavailable.
1 voteUnfortunately, we’ve decided not to incorporate this feature. We intend to leave conflict detection only on Available Officials for the foreseeable future. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Make minor game changes without having to re-accept the assignment
Give the option to not require officials to re-accept an assignment (once previously accepted) when minor changes are made (i.e. position, game fees, etc...)
7 votesThis functionality already exists, but we recognize that there is certainly some room for debate on what is considered a “minor change”. At this time, we only require re-acceptance on changes that we do not consider to be minor. At this time, we are not in favor of changing our classifications on what constitutes a “minor change”.

Assignors Daily System Email
Give assignors the option of receiving a system email the day before to review a list of assignments for the next day. This would help assignors stay on top of who is going out the next day and where without having to get online or on the app and then click master schedule and maybe having to do a filter.
1 voteUnfortunately, we’re not in favor of creating email reports that duplicate existing functionality available by logging into the system. Thank you for submitting an idea.

The option to add pay increase per the member.
Our league would like to pay umpires more if they were to attend a clinic. Right now this would be done by creating a new position, but when an umpire chooses the game and position we would have to manually go back in and change the position to add the increase for them. If we were able to add the increase to the member themselves, this would make the task much more simple.
