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.
Thank you.

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?

Character Limit Increase for First and Middle Name Fields
Increase character limits for first and middle name fields to 30 to match the character limit of last name. Currently they are limited to 15 characters and we are unable to enter the employee's full legal name.
It would be great if we could customize character limits for fields, but if not, then an increase for these 2 fields would be great.

Check request notifications
In the expense reimbursements, there is an option to send a summary email notification for invoices waiting to be generated. This is a great feature but also be VERY beneficial if we could have the same option for check requests. This would then have both programs working the same way, not really an enhancement here but a system function issue. Thanks for considering.

Changing Employee Schedules
In the employee profile, under the TrueTime tab, in Workweek Schedule. It would be helpful if when you made a change to the schedule it would ask you if you would like to make that change for just that week or if you would like it changed going forward. In my District I need to make changes to one specific week to get the Time off to import correctly. Currently to be able to do that I have to change the week I want and then go to the next week and change it back to the original schedule.
4 votesThank you for submitting this product idea.
Could you explain the process behind why you need to change the weeks to get the Time Off to import correctly?
How often are you making changes to the schedule?

Requisition detail per-line discount
Currently, there is no way to add a discount percentage for a detail line. I have a quote from a vendor that shows a percentage discount per line, but there is no way to input that in the line item, the column "% Disc" just shows '0'. Per Skyward support, I have to manually figure the discount myself and add an additional line to subtract.
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need more information to fully understand this request.
In SMS 2.0 you are able to add a flat discount for a Vendor which gets applied to all line items for that vendor. The result of that discount is what you would see on the Requisition screen in the %Discount column and should be applied automatically.
This is the first time we’ve heard of Vendors providing separate discounts depending on the item purchased. We would need to understand this use case more thoroughly and have more support from the Skyward user community prior to considering it for development.

Provide a way to capture SSI and Medicare exempt wages
When someone has a certain work visa, they are exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax on their wages. It would be nice to have Skyward keep track of these earnings via an exempt pay code. When we run the quarterly 941 this would reduce those wages and not include them in those earnings categories. Right now this has to be done manually which can create a chance for a error(s) when completing the 941.

Invoice Entry Enter through all sections
When going through the data entry in the invoice add screen on web, you can hit "Enter" to go to the next option EXCEPT the "Status" option. Then if you want to continue keying, you have to switch to TAB to the next option. I would just like to continue to "Enter" through all the options for ease of use using the numberpad.
