  1. Inventory: option to restrict access based on group

    We would like a setting to restrict access to view and order certain items. We would like to be able to add users individually to the setting that would designate those ‘allowed’ access (so, anyone not added, would not have access). Our suggestion is for this restriction option to be available to both the warehouse set up and to the individual inventory items set up. If the restriction is added to the warehouse, then the warehouse itself and any items added to that warehouse would only be available to users added to the restriction setting. If the warehouse has no…

  2. Pay Records

    Adding an override for class code for ORS to the pay record module, some staff have multiple roles, but unable to modify the class code per record currently.

  3. Mass Change Utilities

    Utilities that have the ability to mass delete entries (particular example is placement tracker) obviously have the ability to find all the data affected by that particular entry. Instead of having to delete entries and roll back processes to reenter processes due to a miskeying of information, allow the utility to edit the trackers instead.

  4. UID Mass Update

    Being able to have a mass delete UID utility with parameter options would be very helpful. Currently only way to update employees in TSDS is the delete UID one by one and then be able to extract to upload to TSDS. With a UID in the profile record will not extract. The majority of our staff is still showing location from initial upload to TSDS. Or sometimes when staff return after resigning but were employed in another location, UID is still in profile due to being needed on service records. Having this type of utility would be very helpful to…

  5. Fixed Asset Reporting

    Please also add the Format tab like you have in Human Resources with the option to "Print all Information on one line per item" This would save a lot of time on the manipulation of the Current Value report. Please also add the ability to send all Fixed asset reports and Data Mining directly to Excel

  6. Customizable Assignment Category

    It would be helpful to have a customizable category in assignments so I can name it what I want.

    Example, we have core components that have to be passed at 80% or better. If they were color coded and labeled by my terms, it would be super easy to see who I need to work with for that category in my gradebook and in reports.

  7. Custom Form Lookup Warning

    It would be great if there was a warning when you try to modify/rename a Custom Field for a custom form. I forgot that the fielc on Custom Form does not update, so it appears orphaned.

  8. Add Account Number as a field on Vendor Profile

    Add "Account number" as a field on Vendor Profile. Ideally this field would print on the checks so that vendors could use this information to identify which account to apply the payment to.

  9. Account Adjustment by Specific Dollar Amounts

    Payroll account adjustments are currently only able to use percentages. It would be extremely helpful if we were able to also do the accounting adjustments by specific dollar amounts. This would help for situations where you are trying to move part to a grant. Some grants need it down to the exact penny and that can be hard to achieve using percentages.

  12. The option to print Employee Confidential Information in Vendor Data Mining should be optional

    If you have an employee that is also a vendor, their confidential information is marked when looking at Vendor Profile/Browse. However, if you print the information in Data Mining then it is not marked confidential. Vendor Data Mining needs the check box like Employee Data Mining.

  13. Org Chart Update Utility

    For districts that have multiple org charts used for different purposes, it would be great if there was a utility that could be used to select the org chart(s) and then add, remove, or move an employee on all selected org charts. It is time consuming (and error prone) to have to edit each org chart and take action on the employee one org chart at a time.

  14. The Ability to Choose the Bank for Benefit and Deduction AP Claims Created During Payroll

    In Indiana, most of us are probably utilize the consolidated fund set up for our AP claims created during a payroll process due to the number of funds Indiana has. There needs to be a way to allow us to choose more than one bank account for all of these AP claims to be paid from. Currently all of ours are set up to be paid from our payroll bank. However, all of our FICA, Medicare, PERF, TRF, AUL, VALIC, Health Ins benefits are ACH'd from our AP bank. The only way to make our scenario work is to 1)…

  16. Cash Receipts Approval Process

    We are a large district with numerous schools making bank deposits and submitting Cash Receipts in Account Management. Like Budget Transfers and Journal Entries, we would like to see an Approval process put in place so the finance office can review and verify the Cash Receipt transaction before posting it.

  17. Notification when PO gets approved

    It would be nice to have an option to send an email to whoever is in charge of doing the ordering of newly approved purchase orders. For example, I do the ordering, but I am not part of the approval process. When a requisition finishes getting the approvals it moves into a batch purchase order. Currently someone has to tell me that the purchase order is out there or I have to physically go check if there is something new. Most people assume that I am notified, but I am not so new purchase orders can sit out in batch…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We suggest trying this instead:

    (1) A Requisition/PO Listing report template can be created for just Batch status POs (WF\PU\RP\RP).

    (2) After the report is executed, from My Print Queue, select the report and press the Tasks button.

    (3) On the next screen there is a Schedule This button to create a scheduled task for the report.

    Please see attached screenshots for visual examples.

    Thank you!

  18. Fillable PDF

    It would be advantageous to have a way when using online/custom forms to be able to have the employee complete a fillable PDF, save it automatically into their profile. They can only answer the questions on the designated form and we wouldn't need to worry about them attaching a document to their profile that wasn't intended. Currently Skyward allows you to send a fillable PDF to the employee but there is no way for them to save it other than to their device and then uploading it into their employee profile. This could be a nightmare with all the documents…

  19. Option to add attachments during new vendor set up process

    Within new vendor set up, we would like the last screen of the set up to give the option (not required) of adding attachments (either 1 or multiple), that would then be attached/available under the ‘Attachments’ tab for that vendor. This will help during vendor entry so employees do not have to re-search the newly created vendor to add appropriate attachments, as most vendors have attachments at the initial set up.

  20. SBAA Check Reconciliation

    We upload our SBAA checks into our banks Positive Pay system. One problem is the vendor name for individuals is not the same as the payee name. We have to manually convert the names as shown on the check.
    Could Skyward add an additional column in SBAA check reconciliation to show the "Payee Name"? The Payee Name column is in the check reconciliation for AP and Payroll checks.
