  2. Make sure there is a phone number listed in Family Access when family edits or changes info.

    Is there a way to prompt families when they remove their landline in Family Access? When a family edits or removed the number, they are not getting called for negative balances of Food Lunch Account because we pull from there. Many families do not have landlines so they take that number out but are not replacing it with anything else. A prompt to put their cell # there would be great. Thank you

  3. Substitute Tracking pulling into payroll by account number and corresponding payroll runs

    Our payroll system is setup with separate payroll run's for restricted fund accounting purposes. However, substitute tracking is not setup that way. It would be extremely helpful if there was a way for substitute tracking to be pulled into a specific payroll run or by account numbers. Currently the district is having to pull all of the substitute transactions into the largest payroll run, then manually delete that do not belong in that payroll run out of the system, process the payroll. Once that payroll run is complete, then the district has to manually re enter the deleted substitute transactions…

  4. Fix the 'Tab Selection Order' and screen spacing when entering True Time

    A) On True Time>Quick Tracking when there is second entry, but strangely NOT when there is only one entry, the tab order causes the screen to jump around when trying to enter data, instead of the fields being in screen order 1,2,3,4,5 when pressing the tab key they are in 1,3,4,5,2 order.
    B) The time entry window (B) size is a fixed size, and the extra padding added to the 'start time' and 'end time' fields forces the inner form to always require a scroll to enter data. This is confusing and an unnecessary hinderance to a quick and seamless…

  5. vendor account number information efficiency

    Most businesses use account numbers and invoice numbers 99% of the time when working with their clients. If we are taking the time to enter an account number for our vendors into the 1099 Form Section the checkmark should auto populate on the Print Account Number on A/P Check Stub and PO. This should be the same for A/P Contact information.

  6. Pulling Active only positions in DM

    Need the system to read behind the scenes if a person has terminated out of one job and started another in order for the one position the employee is currently active in is the only position that pulls through on a DM report. EXAMPLE: Employee started the year as custodian at Buck Lake Elem and terminated that assignment on 10/5/2020 and started a new position as a Building Maintenance Supervisor on 10/6/2020 through the end of the fiscal year. The only position that should pull through on a DM report of any kind is the Building Maintenance Supervisor position.

  7. Have the ability to print my check stubs in Alphabetical order.

    I would like to have the ability to print my direct deposit pay check stubs in alphabetical order. At this time, they will only print in order of check location. I am surprised that this is not an option. Thank you for your consideration.

  8. Time off hours should match FTE import/Employee Management

    It would be great if the time off hours would auto update to match each imports FTE instead of having to manually update for all of those who have changed each school year. Manually updating Insurance Tracker FTE as well as time off hours.

  9. Requisition Notification Option for Selected Individiuals

    I would like the ability to select certain purchase order/requisition groups to be set-up to receive notifications of when there are approvals waiting for them. This capability would be much better as an individual option instead of a district-wide option.

  10. Ability to mass remove selected employees from org chart

    Org Chart
    Can you please add a mass process to remove several employees under an employee at one time from the org chart. For example summer school or additional assignments that are short term however, they're setup in True Time to keep track of the pay and hours by clocking in.

  11. Tie 403B Roth and Pre-Tax Deduction Amounts and Percentages Together

    Our District allows staff to make pre-tax and post tax contributions to their 403B account. These are currently separate codes with their own contribution limit. However, in the real world, employees are allowed to contribute X amount/percent to each, but each counts toward ONE contribution limit. Our plan allows staff to make changes to their contributions anytime in the year, so the code-specific limits aren't doing us any good. It's not as simple as splitting the limit evenly between the two codes.

  12. Fix Print Screen

    If you are in the employee profile and try to print a time sheet from TrueTime the print screen does not work properly. It prints to the size of the window instead of the size of the information. For example if you have the window full screen it will print the time sheet very tiny. If you have the window shrunk so the it is the size of the timesheet it will print correctly. Please fix so that it auto resizes when you are trying to print so you don't end up with super tiny unreadable timesheet printouts. See attachment…

  13. 1095-C Export/Import

    I know there is an import area with the 1095-C forms, however there doesn't seem to be an export. I would find it much easier and quicker if I could export a report from Skyward, make necessary changes, and import it back into Skyward. This would speed up the process considerably and make it easier to see discrepancies. The report I suggest would be the exact same information that is in the employee profile under the ACA Information tab and 1095-C Info. The only thing that would need to be added is the Employee Name and Employee Identifier. I realize…

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    Our State and Federal Reporting Department recommends running the 1095 Tracker and exporting it to excel to fill in the fields as applicable. You can also add additional fields to it if necessary then format the 1095 import to follow that format (updating for each month).

    This idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting by the Skyward user community.

    Thank you!

  14. 1099 Type in SBAA

    Why is there only one option for 1099 type in SBAA: 1099NEC
    The drop down, as you can see from the attached, is only a blank space.
    We have several vendors that are not NEC types that our schools use.

    See attached.

  15. Check Image and ACH Advice of Deposit Image Attached to AP Transactions

    With the goal of going paperless, we would like to see the Check and ACH Advice of Deposit Images attached to each payment as part of AP process. (Similar to the way that employee letters are posted to each employee's record.)

    The image of the check and advice of deposit is requested frequently by our auditors and as part of the grant reporting process.

    Currently, we print the check image and file it, but with the transition to paperless we are saving the PDF file for each check run. However, this still involves searching through the PDF file to obtain…

  16. Florida Statute - Time Off Sick Leave Certification

    We have a FL statutory requirement that says all sick leave (either sick or personal) must be submitted and accompanied by a statement stating that the employee certifies they are sick or are using a personal day. We are currently satisfying this requirement via a paper form that is printed, signed, scanned, and attached to the submitted sick time off request - not ideal. I would like to request Skyward add an "I certify..." checkbox for sick/personal time off requests. The Statute is §1012.61(2)(B), FLORIDA STATUTES and states: "Any district school board employee shall, before claiming and receiving compensation for…

    Our Florida State experts have researched this request. Per the Florida’s statue, a written document is required. We have created a written best practices document and Skyward’s recommended solution to this statue. Please see the attached document titled: “Certified sick and personal best practice.”

    Thank you!

  17. Inactivate Pay Codes

    A way to inactivate old pay codes no longer in use, delete would be great but just inactive so they can't be chosen would be perfect.

    We suggest using the Pay Record Audit, which can inactivate pay records that do not fall in line with an entered control date. To access the Pay Record Audit, navigate to PaC, Human Resources, Payroll, Utilities, and Pay Record Audit.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We’d love to see more support from the Skyward user community before considering this idea for development.

    We’d also like to better understand this request. Could you tell us more about who would be using an employee type filter and why it will be useful.

    Thank you!

  19. Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction.

    Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction. It would be nice if the attachments included in the PO would stick when applying that PO to a pcard transaction. Then we don't have to reattach the invoice when that transaction finally comes through a few weeks after the order was placed.

  20. Capital Asset with multiple PO's or invoices

    Many projects are paid for over a period of time. Currently, you have two choices - 1) when adding an asset, only attach one PO or invoice and add notes or 2) add multiple records for what should be considered one asset. The second option is the one our district had done in the past. I think it would be extremely beneficial to be either to link multiple PO's/invoices and to be able to merge assets
