3rd party time off import dates
During the 3rd party import for substitute tracking/time off, you have the "Acquire Data Using Web Services" button. The dates in this section default to 01/01/1900 and 12/31/2999. I have no problem typing in the dates, but I have seen several people struggle trying to use the calendar and scroll through to the correct date....which could take a while since it is a long ways off. It would be nice if it just defaulted to the current date and let people change the dates as they need it.

Have TT recognize non scheduled days from empoyee Manangement calendar
Please have TT look at the employees Employee Management calendar for all of the days...paid holiday (as it does now) AND non scheduled days. It is double the work to build individual calendars in EM and edit schedules for non-scheduled work days.
2 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea.
We suggest submitting a Service Call so one of our Customer Success Representatives can assist you with setup. Our system should already be able to read paid holidays and non-scheduled days (or non-work days) from the same calendar.
Thank you!

Expand Pay Record Import to include Benefits/Deductions for Existing Pay plus Funding Allocation for the New Assignment
Within Human Resources > Payroll > Assignment Export/Payroll Import (WH\PA\AE), On the export/import screen there are 2 options for importing pay records. There is an issue when exporting/importing multiple assignments with the same pay code during the same fiscal year. The first option imports the correct funding but drops most of the benefits and deductions. The second option imports the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing pay records, but prorates the funding allocations from both assignments and creates split funding. I would like to request a combination of the two:
Import the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing…

Add School Year to Requests Waiting for Approval View
I would like to request that a column be added to the Requests Waiting for Approval screen to show the School Year that the approval is for. The data is available on the request, but users need to drill into the details currently in order to see it. Having it on the main view screen would allow our users to be more efficient.

Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience
We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.

Automated message when ACH DIRECT DEPOSIT information is changed
We implemented the "auto notify" feature to have our employees notified WHEN their banking information is changed (great option); HOWEVER, when our A/P person simply checks the box "use ACH for vendor AP payments" (which simply populates A/P with my payroll direct deposit info), this prompts the automated e-mail to go out to the employee and they panic, because they didn't make a change to their direct deposit. Is there a way to separate the financial side?? I think this is a defect if you think about it.... NO CHANGE IS BEING MADE. Thank you for your support of this…

Scan employee file into profile but make it confidential
Our district is thinking of going paperless. We know that there is an "attach" option in profile, where we can scan in paperwork, but the employee can see what we scan in. Would it be possible to add a feature where we can scan in the employee's entire file but make it confidential to where only HR or Admin could access it?

Add a Budgetary Data Mining Report under employee widgets
Add under the "select widget" the ability to display Data Mining Reports. Teachers and Adminstration would love a quick link to their reports on one screen.
3 votesThank you for submitting this request.
Widgets typically allow for a specific action to be taken while using it. For example, the requisition widget allows users to approve/deny requisitions. What action would you expect your employees to be taking with a Budgetary Data Mining widget?
We suggest employees who use Budgetary Data Mining that want a quick link to the area “Favorite” it for quick access.

Start date needs to print on missing timesheet reports if you can't change the programing
We really, really need to be able to either have the system block employees from being reported with an unsubmitted timesheet or at a minimum have the start date of the current position printed on all missing timesheet reports.
We end up wasting so much time going back to look at their start dates because they pull in with just being in the timekeeping group. Why couldn't the system even use the scheduled dates for the baseline of when to pull in?
This is not only upsetting to us in the payroll department but our administration in the buildings are…5 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback:
Could you provide a screenshot of what they have set up for parameters? Location: HR\PA\CP\TT.
We’d specifically like to know what you have selected under Timesheet Statuses to include:
Do you have the fourth option “Include timesheets that have no transactions” checked? If it is checked it will make it so the report is wide open.
If you are running it wide open, what are your dates?
Thank you!

allow setting to keep dates set in the PAC true time workweek
It is frustrating to always set the current dates we are working with for a payroll period after we leave that area to correct a time sheet.
If we could have the system keep the dates entered until we change them or have a preference setting to hold the dates that would be very helpful in efficency.3 votesThank you for submitting this idea. Are you editing your timesheets outside of PaC?

Please add a message after updating Purchase Orders
I would like to see a message after running a Batch to Open for Purchase Orders. Something that says "You have finished Updating your Batch to Open Purchase Orders". I am often interrupted during the process and not sure I have started it. So I run it again and of course get and error at that time.

Employee Access
Pseudo Approval: I have had employees ask if they would receive a system generated notification informing them as to the determination of their change request. I recommend to all employees to make direct deposit changes in Skyward, but once they are approved or denied they are not notified other than by me telling them. Could this be a process to which the employee would receive a system generated email upon approval or denial of the change request?

multiple overlays in sub tracking configuration
In the Substitute Tracking Configuration, Skyward only allows for one default overlay in the account distribution. We have a need to have at least a second option similar to the account distribution overlay in employee managment>additional pay codes. Without this, we have to change every single sub when pulled in from absence management to change the project code since we already the overlay with the object code. This adds another hour each day to processing sub tracking. While I understand that we could have account codes in Absence Management, the number of codes we have are a lot and that…

Remove or Adjust the ability to print purchase orders with signature
In the Purchasing Activity screen and View My Purchase Orders screen individuals have the ability to print the purchase order(s) with a signature by passing the Purchasing department. There are two places they can print the signed purchase order even if the Print button id removed.
2 votesWe reviewed the Service Call that was submitted prior to submitting this Product Idea.
We've created a Skycoder import file. By importing this file you will be able to use Skycoder to hide the view button on print history when coming from all screens except for Purchase Order Entry.
This file is not supported as an attachment type on Product Ideas, so Skyward will email the file directly.

Please do not get rid of the PAC, FM, AP invoice process.
Using the PAC is much more efficient than using the web for running the weekly check run. Each of the reports within the AP process, you are able to save them in one spot in the PAC, where as running this in the web, you have to save the reports outside of Skyward which creates issues on our end.

FastTrack Email Notifications for Custom Status Codes
I would like to request a product enhancement that would allow us to send email notifications from Skyward to district staff when certain custom status codes are used in FastTrack – this is different than the screener, payroll, and HR notifications, but a custom option in the same area of setup - Message Center -> Configuration. An example of this would be a status code that is set up for salary review by a specific executive prior to proceeding with making an offer. This would help greatly with efficiency as these custom codes are generally used by executive leaders in…

Reports
Would it be possible to change the notification of a denied requisition? I attached a copy of a denied requisition. It seems the denied part of the message does not stand out from the rest of the message. Could it be in italics, different color, bolded just something that makes the reason a requisition was denied stand out better?
