  1. Last Date Modified on Picture Import Utilities

    Update the picture import utilities for both Student and Employee to look at the last date modified on the picture file and give the option to only import pictures that have been modified in the last “X” number of days. As part of the integration with IDImage we schedule this importer to run multiple times a day and every time it runs it reimports all pictures. We only need it to import pictures that have been recently updated.

  2. Inventory Receiving Approval Chain

    Have an approval chain for inventory items received to verify PO Units to Receive, PO Received Unit Cost, PO Received Total Cost agrees with Stock Received Units, Stock Received Unit Cost and Stock Total Cost and that the Stock Units per PO Unit Received are correct so there are no large quantities received in the hundreds, or thousands that are not correct and result in large cost to district by having to account for large amount of dollars not in inventory and/or having to write off.

  3. Receiving Option to Mark Completely Received

    Currently, the only reportable way for AP staff to know that an order is completely received is for them to go through each order and check for all items received, then they can manually mark it as completely received.

    In order for staff in AP to know when an order has been completely received, there should be a checkbox for the person checking in the order (that may have been received over multiple days/weeks) to check when the last item has been received and the PO is completely received.

    Thank you for entering this product idea. 

    We are assuming you have separate employees doing the PO and receiving entry versus the invoice entry? If this is true, then the invoice entry staff do not know when the PO/receiving staff have fully received the items?

    Our suggestion is that whoever is entering in the receiving records should go out to the PO and change it to fully received when they have received all the items. Then when the AP employee adds the invoice in using that PO it comes in as fully received and the AP employee does not have to look at any of the receiving records.

    thank you!

  5. Reset All in Account Management

    The ability to "Reset All" filters in the accounts screens instead of resetting each individually. I have to scroll back and forth to make sure there are no other items with a filter on when I want to do a new search.

  7. Requisition/Purchase Order comparison

    We need a report to compare the prior year's purchase order totals by group to the current year's requisition totals by by group. For example, you can see that 1st grade spent $1,200 this year and then you can see that they have requisitioned $1,300 for next year. This would greatly help to be able to compare the information for reasonableness from year to year. It would be ideal for the information to be available to the approvers in the requisition approval screen. Attached are excel versions of a report that I created

  8. Identify Teaching Postings with Subject Specificity

    We would like to be able to add the subject area to the position in a posting. For example, a math position would also have "Algebra I" or "Geometry" included in the name of the position, not just the body of the posting.

  11. Import applications from third party applications

    Many employers take advantage of posting positions to sites such as Indeed, Career Builder, and college recruiting sites such as Handshake, Simplicity, etc.

    It would be great to have those resumes/applications transfer to FastTrack.

  12. Requesting Time Off for a Specific Fiscal Year/From that Specific Year's Allocations

    We would like to suggest that Time Off can be requested for a specified fiscal year. Example: current school year is 2022-2023 and the employee has a scheduled trip during the 2023-2024 (following) school year. We would like the employee to have the option to select the calendar year to submit their request from 'that fiscal year's time off allocations' (not the current year's allocations).

  14. Ded/Ben Set Up = Single

    Having a deduction and benefit code check type be set up as single. Currently having to manually make this edit each payroll. The current choices for set up are regular, wire, hold and blank. We also tried having the set up check type as blank and set the default check type to single on the vendor profile and the check type turned to H (hold). Just hoping to save a step or if it is accidentally forgotten to manually update.

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea.  

    Can you help me understand this idea better?

    Where in the system would you like to be able to search for specific dollar amounts or dates?

    How would you expect this search to work?

    Could you help me understand the full process, and how being able to search on dollar amounts or dates will improve your day to day?

    Thank you!

  16. Adding a Room field within Skyward Business

    I think it would be great to have a room number field within Skyward Business. Our IAM system syncs with Skyward and it would be great to pull the room number from one central source and push out all of this to our other downstream systems.

  17. View Time off for same department employees and supervisors

    Supervisor wants everyone in the department to be able to see time off for everyone in the department at any level, but not to be able to see how they are using their time off. Another words, he want employees to be able to see the name of the other employees taking off, but not if they were NCD, sick, etc. This would be a great help to the department, because employees never know when supervisors are going to be off.

  18. Allow us to see if an emloyee has the true time button when setting them up

    There are so many things that need to be set up before an employee can see their True Time module. Even though we can see that employees appear in a Timekeeping rule it doesn't mean they have the ability to see/use the TT button . If we could see if they have it when we are in their profile under the blue circled i like we can use check estimator it would avoid having to log in as the employee and ensuring they have the button open to them. There are too many variables that need to align and often…

  20. Add submit button to invoice entry screen

    Add "submit for approval" button to the invoice entry screen or "Save for later", similar to the credit card screen. Also, being able to submit for approval by batch would be helpful if the supervisor then received only one email notification.
