    Would it be possible to add Employee Ranges for Inactive Profiles to be Included, Excluded, or Processed Alone when working with Online Forms the same as when you are Building Letters in Employee Administration?

  4. Human Resource

    Can there be an additional area added to the Pseudo Approval area for confirmation of the change request where the individual approving or denying the request is reminded to contact the employee before the change is to be completed. With the hackers getting more aggressive and people doing thing more things electronically, it would be just one step in ensuring the employee information still remains safe.

    I would imagine the area simply being "Did you contact the employee? Yes or No." If No, then the request cannot be completed until the employee is contacted. If Yes, then the request can…

  5. Report for WRS terms and enrollments is needed

    Please create a report that would meet WRS specs for the massive amounts of mid year terms and enrollments. We can data mine the information needed however, the set up and format they require is something that has to be designed by our software provider to meet the requirements that WRS has.
    We have to get special login credentials from WRS to upload the report however it needs to meet their very specific format and ability to save it in a .txt format.
    Or create more options in the annual WRS reporting that would allow only specific people, pulled from…

  8. Sick Bank Flag defaults

    We would like the option to have a default for the Participates in Sick Bank area. All but a handful of employees participate by agreement, so it would be helpful to default this to Yes with the option to change for those few that don't.

  9. Remove Batch lock feature

    What is the purpose of the "Batch lock"? Several of the secretaries gets block and I have to unblock them before I can update PO's. It's such a waste of time.

  11. Encumber Funds When P-Card Transaction Is Submitted for Approval

    A district's budget management would benefit if Skyward encumbered budgetary funds when an employee submits a transaction for approval. I understand that a purchase order would encumber the funds, but I do not want to ask employees to complete an additional form in Skyward. That said, if p-card transactions are not invoiced, the expenditures are not reflected in the budget. Our department leaders use their budget reports to make decisions, but the reports don't do much for them when they have numerous p-card transactions that are not encumbered. I upload p-card transactions daily, and if there were a way we…

  12. View All Assigned Employees - Position Control Groups

    Employee Administration - Position Control Groups

    When the option is selected to View All Assigned Employees, the start and end date for the employee no longer shows. This is applicable when the number of employees exceeds what is initially viewable. This would be very helpful to see for all employees in a position when reviewing posting requests.

    Add the capability to view the date an application was moved with the most recent notes in a column in the open apps view instead of having to hover. This will allow us to excel the data out and view the information at a glance.

  15. Develop Data import/update against DocuSign API

    Hi, suggestion to develop employee import/update against the DocuSign API for onboarding new personnel. I think a lot of school districts use both Skyward HR for employees/payroll and DocuSign for document/envelope/packet management in digital form rather than paper copies.
    Might be a good opportunity to streamline some data movement in regards to onboarding processes.
    thanks

  16. Flag Employee Profile.

    Some of our employees leave and come back or have loans that we need to check on the status of before processing their final payment. It would be helpful if we could add a flag or popup message to employee profile that will be triggered if we inactivate the employee or simply highlight the name of the employee so we know to look deeper into a profile if needed.

  17. Add Commodity Code as Budgetary Data Mining field.

    Add COMMODITY CODE field to Budgetary Data Mining.

    More and more districts are using Commodity Codes but there is only 1 report that includes Commodity Codes but it does not include account distribution information.

    Add Commodity Code so that users can include on their BDM reports.

  18. commodity code

    Would it be possible for the commodity code to inform us once it reaches a set threshold? In our case, we would set it at $49,999.99. We want to continue to use the code, in the event we have a contract referenced for that purchase. Maybe a message could pop up that informs the requisitioner "The commodity code has reached the maximum threshold and a contract must be referenced on the PO to use this code" Otherwise select another code that matches the purchase.
