Update on the myOHSAA system
Launched in 2007, the myOHSAA technology system, a
comprehensive and integrated web-based data storage
and access system continues to improve and develop
to better meet the needs of its users. The system is
designed so that the OHSAA, schools, contest
officials, the media and the general public can
access and share information added to the system.
Currently,
there are three major features in development: a public schedule
interface, a data bridge and a user management section redesign.
The public
schedule interface will be the home for schedules in every sport
from every OHSAA member school. Parents, fans and media will be
able to view dates, times, opponents, scores and directions to
every contest entered into the myOHSAA system. Additionally, a
piece will be developed to allow selected users to receive text
messages or emails when changes are made to a schedule such as a
cancellation or a site change.
The groundwork
has been laid for an Application Programming Interface (API)
that will allow events entered into third-party scheduling
software to be imported directly into myOHSAA. This data bridge
will allow member schools to continue to use their existing
scheduling software and help to reduce their workload while
meeting OHSAA membership requirements.
Lastly, phase
two of the user management portion of the system is set to go
into production. The new features will allow administrators to
better define user access to different areas of a school’s
interface and unify login credentials for those administrators
who cover more than one school. It will also allow central
scheduling offices to manage events for multiple schools.
