  1. Please Update the Landing Page for FastTrack apply now button

    Please create two buttons on the apply page. One for New Users and One for Existing Applicants. What appears now is small font and hard to read. It should stand out and be clear on what to do based on whether you are new and want to apply now or you have an existing login.

  2. Allow a timeframe for references to review and update responses

    It would be beneficial for Skyward's Fast Track module to allow applicant references a window of opportunity to update their responses, especially since the system has great limitations on choosing references and/or allowing HR the ability to manage the references in any way. We often receive calls from users who accidentally pressed enter and submitted the reference several questions short of completion, and currently have no solution, as once submitted, we cannot purge the reference. Quite often, if the applicant really wanted that person as reference, we have to walk the applicant through submitting another reference out to the same…

  3. direct deposit email notification

    It would be nice to have the ability to schedule the direct deposit email notification for later in the day. I have to process my payroll by noon, but I don't want the email to be sent until after 5pm. Right now, it either gets sent at noon, when the check hasn't been deposited to their account yet, or it doesn't get sent at all. I know I can schedule it as a task, but that means that the email goes out first, and I don't want it to go out until the check has been deposited in their account…

  4. Assignment Export/Payroll Import

    Update the parameters for Payroll Imports to include "Get hours worked from assignment" (calendar hrs/frequency). Similar to the Retirement Hours Option.

  5. FastTrack Open Position Landing Page

    Currently, FastTrack only has two configuration options for viewing current job openings. Option 1 is a posting of all jobs in one continuous feed, and Option 2 is to use the Categorization conjuration allowing applicants to filter by categories created. The FUNCTIONALITY CHANGE would be for the ability to select both options and allow for the applicant to select either of the two options on the landing page under Search Current Job Openings and the two options would be VIEW all Job Openings or Use Categories to filter for Job Openings.

  6. Add Skyward login link to TrueTime emails notifying supervisors when an employee submits their timesheet.

    When a supervisor is emailed that there is a time off request waiting their approval, there is a link in the email that takes them to Skyward. That link is not in the email notifying the supervisor that their employee submitted a timesheet. Is it possible to get that link in the timesheet submitted email to the supervisor?

  9. PDF of PO

    I would like to be able to view a PDF of a PO that has been attached to an invoice from the 'view' hyperlink located next to the PO number within the invoice vs. having to manually attach each individual PO PDF to the invoice in the PO filing cabinet.

  10. Add an inactive box on paycodes

    Could you add an inactive box on paycodes so they do not appear in other areas of the software? I have many codes in history that are no longer being used and I don't want staff to use them and I don't want to see them in other areas of the software. I would like to still be able to run a report with the option to select inactive paycodes if needed.

  11. annual allocation description

    It would be nice if the annual allocation descriptions could be edited when allocating time off at the beginning of the year. Right now, it reads as "Annual Allocation - supplemental" but it's not supplemental time. I would rather the description say "Annual Allocation"

  12. Timesheets and pay code approvers

    When submitting timesheets and the employee has multiple approvers, the employee needs to select an approver for all Pay codes that are associated with the employee. Could the program be updated so that the employee only needs to choose an approver for the pay codes that are associated with that timesheet?

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!

    While zip codes cannot be added through WF/AM, you can add them through Web Financial Management under Vendor > Codes > Zip Codes.  This will bring up the zip codes tables where you can freely add.  You will need at least level 3 security access for the add button to appear.

    I hope this helps!

  14. survey reporting

    Could we update the system to recognize employee termination dates so employees not active in the current fiscal year DON'T get pulled for survey reporting? Many employees receive a bonus, sick pay or vacation leave in the fiscal year after they've retired/resigned, etc. Currently, these employees are pulling for survey when they don't need to be reported.

  15. Summer payroll payouts

    Can we get access to a test system to run our summer payroll for July and August in June since we have to submit all earnings for teachers to TRS by the end of June instead of having to run these two months payrolls in June and then canceling them out just to run them again the correct months.

    Thank you for your input.

    It sounds like you are looking for access to a test database with a copy of your data?

    This would be a hardware call in this case rather than a product idea.  You can submit those requests through the ? button in Web > Customer Access > and then submit the service call to our Customer Success team to help point you in the right direction!

    If this is not the case, feel free to respond back.

    Thank you!

  16. Modify screens in SBAA and Purchasing

    It would be great if we could modify our screens to better fit our needs. LIke deleting rows that aren't fitting our needs. Currenlty in purchasing you can modify and find your modifications under CLONES but there is no ability in SBAA to do the same. And rather than cloning I just want to remove columns

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!

    We are looking for more information on this:

    1. Are you referring to the ability to modify the view of the browse and what information displays?

    2. What information are you looking to adjust, and under which menu paths? (Check Requests, Cash Receipts, Journal Entries, Purchase Orders?)

    3. How does this change affect your day to day duties?

    This idea will remain open for further input from the Skyward Community.

    Thank you!

  17. Allow credit memo#s/negative amounts on check requests and/or multiple invoice #s per request

    It would be nice to be able to enter multiple invoices for one vendor check request, including credit memo#'s with negative amounts. Instead of having to enter a seperate check request for every invoice#. Also, the system doesn't allow a negative check request, for a credit memo, so those still have to be submitted on paper (unless there is another way, please share :) Thanks!

  18. Multiple building available on profile under personel

    On the employee profile it would be a great benefit to security access if there were multiple buildings available. Currently we have one "Other Building". Please add two more. This would allow us to restrict security groups to an employees building(s) without opening and setting their ranges. We have a considerable amount of employees that are assigned to a building but also need access to others. Managing ranges is our only option and presents a security risk.

  19. Make the Font larger for addresses

    Please increase the Font on the address for the Food Service Report for Payor Balance Reports. The font is so small and hard to read. I have had several complaints from numerous people including from mail carriers.

    Hello! Please tell us more on your use cases for this. What are your processes and policies in place for an option for multiple Remit To's from One Order From Vendor? Could you share some examples where this comes into play? Thank you!
