  1. Skyward Conservation Reports

    Skyward Conservation Reports that are used to track data for the Illinois Department of Public Health, request;

    Skyward’s Conservation Reports do not accurately populate. To make them accurate, I am requesting that the Observation List (under referral information) for both vision and hearing, be changed to allow multiple selections. Currently the Observation drop down will only allow only one category to be selected.

    For example, if a student has multiple results (i.e. Myopia and Astigmatism) we can only select one option. This does not provide the information needed to run the report accurately, that is submitted to the state. If…

  3. Add an attachment button on the submit JE screen

    Add a button that would allow document attachments when submitting a journal entry for approval. The only way we can currently attach documents is after we submit the journal entry for approval.

  5. Vendor Browse - Last Used Date

    On the vendor browse it would be helpful to have a last used date that shows the last invoice or payment date for each vendor. This would help with the 1099 Info so we can look at only those that were used during the year to see if they have 1099 information filled out correctly. It would also be helpful in the general vendor browse so you can quickly see which vendors have not been used in a few year and be able to do a cleanup on your vendor list.

  6. Inventory: option to add requisition approvers

    We would like to be able to designate inventory requisition approvers based on the warehouse assignment and the individual warehouse items. We would like to be able to assign users individually as approvers for this functionality with the option to have multiple approvers. Ideal functionality is if this setting is chosen for an entire warehouse, requisitions for all items assigned to that warehouse will require an approval from the user(s) designated in the set up. If no approver is designated at the warehouse level, then any approvers designated on the individual items would take precedence. If none are designated at…

  7. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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)…
