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.
This article covers Locations in HorizonWebRef - the organization administration page where you maintain venues and sites used for games and meetings.
It is for organization administrators with locations access. Use it when you need to add a venue, correct an address or map pin, or deactivate a location that should no longer be scheduled. If Locations is not shown under organization administration, your organization has not granted that access.
Your organization can rename Locations to match how you talk about venues. The page title may say Venues, Fields, Arenas, Ice Rinks, Schools, Facilities, Gyms, Grounds, or another term the organization chose. The steps stay the same.
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.
Watch the walkthrough, then use the steps below. The video shows the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop you may still see the older layout described at the end of this article.
One location per field or surface
If one site has multiple fields or playing surfaces, create a separate location for each one. Do not combine them into a single entry.
For example, instead of one Main Park, add a unique name for each surface:
Soccer Complex - Field A
Soccer Complex - Field B
Community Gym - Court 1
Community Gym - Court 2
Ice Arena - Rink 1
Ice Arena - Rink 2
Local Park - Field 1
Local Park - Field 2
The same idea applies to courts, diamonds, pitches, and other surfaces at the same address.
Add a location
Open Locations from the organization administration area. Select Add, enter a clear name, and provide a real street address that includes a street number.
On a computer, the same screen uses the wider layout.
Mark whether the location is usable for games, meetings, or both. United States addresses are checked against postal validation before save. You can correct suggested changes or continue if you need to keep the address as entered.
Map and GPS
A complete address lets Horizon provide directions, mileage, and map placement for officials and schedulers. When a location has map coordinates, open it to review the pin. Drag the pin if the point is wrong, then confirm the update. Correct GPS keeps the map accurate for scheduling.
The summary panel shows how many locations are still missing GPS so you can finish those next.
Find and manage locations
Use search to find a location by name. Matching results appear with checkboxes. Scrolling loads more results automatically.
Open any location to edit it. Deactivate a location when it should no longer be selected for new games or meetings. Deactivated locations stay in your records and are not offered for new use.
For several locations at once, select them from the list or from search results, or use Select all matching for every active location whose name contains your search text. Then use the bulk action bar. Bulk deactivation requires a typed confirmation such as DELETE 12 LOCATIONS.
Utilities
The Utilities menu includes export, import, and location block settings when your organization uses them. Export a spreadsheet before a major update when you want a reference copy. Import locations (or Import plus your organization's word) opens the spreadsheet walk-through. See how to import locations from a spreadsheet.
Helpful reminders
Create a separate location for each field or playing surface at the same site. Names managed by a connected integration may be locked. Keep addresses complete so mapping can work reliably. Officials may also use location block preferences when your organization allows it.
If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout
On a computer or laptop, open Administrative Forms, go to Assignor Forms, and choose Add/Edit/Remove Locations. Your organization may use a custom name such as Venues or Fields. The steps stay the same.
The New Location form sits beside a scrollable list. Enter the location name, address lines, and mark Use for Games and/or Use for Meetings, then choose Add Location. United States addresses may show Unable to Verify Address or More Information Needed before save.
To adjust the map pin, edit a location from the list. On the Update Location page, drag the blue marker and confirm Override GPS when prompted. There is no Missing GPS count on the list page and no bulk re-geocode tool on this older layout. Export, import, and location blocks are in the top icon menu, not a Utilities menu.
Search, summary tiles, and typed bulk deactivate belong to the New Horizon Experience in the apps. One location per field or surface, a real street address, and drag-to-correct on edit are the same on both layouts.
