New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. On a computer or laptop, choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back from that menu any time.
Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you. When a control or rule exists on only one layout, this article says so. The steps below start with the New Horizon Experience in the apps, then cover that older desktop or laptop layout.
This article covers the Public Schedule in HorizonWebRef. Visitors and signed-in members use it to browse upcoming games without assignor tools. Organization administrators also use this article to turn the public schedule on and finish setup.
If you are an organization administrator, start with Turn it on and set it up below. If you are a member looking for the public list, skip ahead to Who can open it after your organization has turned it on. Putting the schedule on your website uses Integrate Your Website.
Turn it on and set it up
Only organization administrators can change these settings. Open System Settings from the menu. On Overview, tap or click the Features & Settings tile. On a larger screen you can also use the left sidebar. Search by number or label (for example public schedule or 21). Open the Public & Coach Access group if that section is collapsed.
Turn on Simplified Public Schedule (Feature #21). That is the setting that turns the public schedule on for your organization. When it is off, signed-in members and people viewing the schedule on your website both see that the public schedule is unavailable. More choices appear under that row after it is on. The page saves on its own a moment after you change a setting. Wait for the short Saved message before you leave the page.
On a computer, the same screen uses the wider layout.
Who may open Public Schedule after signing in
Public schedule viewers is the set of role checkboxes under Simplified Public Schedule. Check every role that should open Public Schedule from the Schedule menu:
Officials (the label uses your organization word for officials)
Coach
Athletic Director
League Personnel
Location Personnel (the label uses your organization word for locations)
If every checkbox is cleared, Horizon treats that as all roles may open it while Simplified Public Schedule is on. Organization administrators who can see System Settings can also open Public Schedule even when their role box is unchecked, so they can review what members will see.
Which games appear
Public schedule scope chooses Published only or All (published and unpublished). Most organizations keep Published only so visitors never see drafts.
Earliest public days limits how far into the past or future the public list can go. Examples include future games only, future games plus a set number of past days, a short future window only, or past games only. Pick the window that matches how you want visitors to browse.
If your organization uses leagues, each league also has Show on public schedule on Leagues (Feature #11 is Use Leagues). Edit the league and turn that checkbox off to hide that league from the public list and from public league filters.
Official names on the signed-in public list
Official Names on Public Schedule (Feature #22; the first word matches your organization word for officials) has three choices:
Show names - signed-in Public Schedule shows assigned official names when other rules allow it
Hide names - names stay off that public view
Show count only - visitors and members see how many officials are scheduled, not who they are
If coaches and athletic directors should also see assigned officials on their own team tools, that is a separate setting: Coach See Assigned Officials. A related setting, How far ahead they can see assignments, can delay those names for non-official roles until a date relative to the game. Officials are not blocked by that delay. The schedule on your public website never shows official names, no matter which name option you choose here.
Put the schedule on your website
After Simplified Public Schedule is on, open Integrate Your Website. Choose a theme, add optional league or game-code filters, then copy the code onto your site. A schedule already on your website keeps working. When you create the code again, it uses the current Public Schedule address. People who view that website copy do not get saved Quick filters.
Who can open it
After Simplified Public Schedule is on, members whose roles are checked under Public schedule viewers open it from Schedule in the side menu, or from Utilities on My Schedule when that link is offered. Use Public Schedule when you have access.
If you do not see Public Schedule, either Simplified Public Schedule is off, your role is not checked under Public schedule viewers, or you are signed into a membership that does not include it. An organization administrator can turn it on and check your role using the steps above.
On a computer, the same screen uses the wider layout.
Filters
Change the date range from the calendar control on the top bar. That control applies as soon as you choose a range. It is separate from the Filters panel.
On a phone in the Horizon WebRef app, Filters is the funnel icon on that same top bar. It does not say Filters, and it is not the older filter row that used to sit on the page. Tap the funnel to open a side panel from the right. Set the options you want, then tap Apply Filters at the bottom of the panel. A red number on the funnel means Filters besides the date range are on. Quick filters is the nearby icon with stacked lines and is a separate menu for saved sets (signed-in members only).
On a larger screen the same funnel still opens that side panel. The Filters panel can include:
Leagues - when your organization uses leagues
Game Code - the standalone game-code filter (it may still say Types on the panel)
Teams - when your organization uses teams
Locations
Status - not cancelled, cancelled only, or all
Sorting order - choose how the list is ordered. Open this card in Filters, set Sort #1, Sort #2, and Sort #3, then tap Apply Filters. You can sort by Date, Time, Location, Home, Away, or ID when those columns apply. Location sorts by the location name. Home and Away appear when your organization uses teams. ID appears when game IDs are shown.
If you have not saved or remembered a sort, Public Schedule starts with Date, then Time, then Location. The Master Game Schedule is the exception: it starts with Date, then Location, then Time when nothing is saved.
Reset Filters restores the default date window, the default sort for this schedule, and clears the other filters. The list loads more games as you scroll.
On phones you can switch between a compact card view (more games on screen) and a detailed card view (more information per game, including official names when your organization allows them). Tap a compact card to open full details.
Quick filters and remembering your settings
When you are signed in, the page can remember the filters you last used for about 30 days, including Sorting order, so you do not have to rebuild them every visit. Sorting does not count toward the red number on Filters.
You can also save named quick filters and recall them later from the Quick filters menu. Save the filters you use most (for example a weekend window or a favorite league set). A named Quick filter also stores the sort that was on when you saved it. You can delete a saved quick filter when you no longer need it.
Remembered settings and quick filters apply only to the Public Schedule for the organization you are using. They are not used on the public schedule on your website when visitors are not signed in.
What visitors see on your website
If your organization puts the public schedule on an external website, visitors see a read-only schedule without signing in. Official names are not shown on that public website view. Use Integrate Your Website (above) to copy the website code after the public schedule is on.
Helpful reminders
If no games appear, confirm Simplified Public Schedule is on, widen the date range, clear other filters, and check Earliest public days plus each league's Show on public schedule checkbox. Cancelled games are hidden by default unless you change the status filter. Maps links open directions in a new tab when a location has a full address.
If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout
On desktop or laptop, Public Schedule may still look like the older layout until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Organization administrators still turn it on in System Settings with Simplified Public Schedule (Feature #21). The related settings still control Official Names on Public Schedule (Feature #22), Public schedule viewers, Public schedule scope, and Earliest public days. Hide a league from the public list by editing that league and turning off Show on public schedule.
In that older layout, signed-in members often open Public Schedule from a menu item on the top toolbar of their personal Game Schedule. Filters sit in a Schedule Search & Filter bar. Click the bar (or the eyeballs) once to open it, set the date range and other limits, then click Search. Sorting order is the three lists on that bar. If you have not set a sort, the older layout starts with Date, then Location, then Time. Click RESET to return to the default window. Those older filters, including sort, stay for this sign-in and reset the next time you sign in, unless you click Set Default to keep the current filters (including sort) as your saved defaults. The default date range you can set in Personal Profile is separate and does not save sort.
