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.

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?
Thank you!

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.

Sick leave bank check box in Employee Access
Add the option to display the sick leave bank check box in Employee Access
2 votesThank you for submitting this idea request. We have a clarifying question before we can proceed reviewing it:
We need to better understand what you want the checkbox to do. Do you this checkbox to pull from the sick bank profile with the HR side? Or, do you want to donate time to the sick bank?
Thank you!

Add a "Select All" option to the Invoice Approval screen.
I sometimes have to approve 50+ invoices, and it's very time consuming to click each and every box.

Increase number of entries in the Employment History in Fast Track
Our district is in great need of having the number of entries in the Employment History in the Fast Trak application open to additional entries as needed by the applicant. Currently, there are only four entries possible, and this forces applicants to decide which four, of the many they may have, to post for the position application. Additionally, this forces the use of an external form that can be difficult for the applicant to locate. Although a field is designated in the Attachments area, there is no guarantee the applicant will upload the needed document as opposed to any document…
2 votesWe recommend this alternative solution:
(1) Add a new attachment for “Full Employment History” [WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AD](2) Add it to the necessary attachment lists used in job listings. Note it will automagically alert all of the current applicants that they need to update their open applications [ WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL]
(3) To avoid confusion (optional), turn off the normal Employment History in the affected job listings [WH\AD\FT\PP\PB]
(4) Other Skyward districts have done something similar. They’ve added a Fast Track Config with attachments where they link attachments through JavaScript [WH\AD\FT\MC\PS\CF\DM]
(5) So that required attachments display at the footer for every applicant (If a district wants a specific Full Employment History Template, they could provide one to their applicants here).
(6) An additional benefit to setting up Fast Track this way is that if attachments are used for employment history, that gets moved over to profile from Fast Track. Be sure to set…

Journal Entry-Back button
Please consider moving the location of the back button on the Submit Journal Entry Screen. It is right below the Save and Finish Later and can accidentally be selected in error. Also, a warning screen to ask you are you sure you want to go back and not save!

Invoice Entry Filter Button
In the invoice entry screen when you are in the "Add Accounts" pop-up it would be very helpful to have an account filter button. This would allow you to figure out account numbers that you don't know the full string of numbers. For example you know that it is for the high school (location 400) and that it is for volleyball (162121) but you are not sure about the object then it will let you filter the things you do know and help you narrow down to the account you need. At this time I need to open a separate…

Payroll department needs to be able to change pay codes without denying timesheet
Payroll really needs to be able to change the pay code when they are processing True Time. Too many people select the wrong pay when clocking in on the app which then reduces the annualized pay amount and charges the funds to another, incorrect, account number.
The process of having to go in deny it, wait for the employee to change, then get re-approved is not efficient whatsoever!6 votesHave you tried any of the following suggestions?
(1) Have you tried excluding pay codes that you don’t want? There is the ability to exclude pay codes that you don’t want employees tracking time against from True Time. This can be done with district wide or by timekeeping rule.
(2) You mentioned the app. Does that mean that the employees are having the biggest issue on the mobile app? When employees have multiple pay codes to track time against. the primary pay code is indicated in pretenses. This should happen automatically.
(3) Is it a business practice to deny the Time Sheet, wait for the employee to change it, re-approve and re-submit? HR should have the ability to update the pay code from the Employee Profile in the Web.
Thank you!

Remove limit of 100 lines per journal entry on the web
Currently, there is a limit of 100 lines per journal entry when importing on the web. Often times, we import journal entries in PaC because there is no limit on the number of lines in a journal entry when using PaC. It would be great to use the web to import larger journal entries.

Adding a note option on a pay record
When paying for an Extra Duty it would be amazing to be able to put a note in for what the payment is for. I.E. Class Sponsor, Morning Bus Duty, Basketball Coach Stipend, etc. If Skyward could put this note option on the select screen through payroll, we could manually enter the information when paying out for these different stipends.

Employee Access, Check Estimator
It would be helpful if the Check Estimator did not include deductions that have termed /expired. There is no use in putting an end date in the profile if we have to delete it from their profile for them not to show up on the check estimator. Most times, employees have no idea what benefits they have. It's nice for us to see past codes. But we have to delete them for the employee not to see them.

Invoice approval - payment type
Would it be possible to add the payment type field to the invoice master field on the invoice approval screen? We use various payment methods - wire, ACH and checks. It would be helpful in our approval process to see that the correct payment method has been selected.

Employee Access
When employees leave it would be great to have one place to update their personal email and check a box that all communication goes to that personal email. Instead right now, I have to update the first email in employee profile AND go and update the email in employee access and then send them another account reset link just for them to keep access. In addition, it would be awesome to have a box for departing staff that says "grant employee access until......" we could then fill in a date and forget it. Instead right now, I have to somehow…

Street Names
Please add a way to clean up the "Street Name" list for addresses. It would be ideal to be able to merge the existing street name when someone has entered many varieties and spellings of the same street name.

Data Mining True Time
Need Time Sheet History, specifically Time sheet status to be available in data mining. This could then be used to compare with the Missing Timesheet report. The Timesheet History field should automatically pull the available statuses from Payroll > True Time > History. Specifically looking for Submitted/Unsubmitted/Denied, but others would be good as well.
