Life Long Counter - Sub Tracking
Our district would like to offer an incentive every 45 days a sub works. This does not have to be consecutive. I can set this is up using the Life Long Counter section in Rate Tables, however, it only allows me so many "lines" to create the structure. As of now, I can only go up to 135 days. We've run reports from previous years and we've had subs that have worked up to 171 days in a school year. That being said, if we had just two more "lines" in the Life Long Counter, I could get this set…
2 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!
The Rate Table is structured to put in the “Last Unit at Rate”, so you’ll just see the high number in Skyward.
Example (visual also attached):
0-44 $100
45 BONUS RATE
46-89 $125
90 BONUS RATE
91-134 $150
135 BONUS RATE
136-179 $175In the above example, you can see that I got to 179 days of subbing.
Does this work or is there additional set up not mentioned in the Product Idea that would need to be taken into consideration?
Thank you!

Allow leave balance in EA to be seen but no entering of leave requests
I would like employees to see how much Emergency Paid Sick Leave they have left, but NOT have access to enter that leave.
This might be useful for other types of leave too, i.e. only I can enter unpaid time off, but employees can not see that. Thank you!
3 votesThank you for submitting this idea! We suggest using options that exist in Time Off Setup Request Options.
Navigate to Product Setup > Employee Access > Time Off Setup > Request Options tab, then edit, then uncheck the box “Allow Time Off request in group 9”
Group 9 is a special code typically used for Time Off Requests like Emergency Sick Paid Leave.
If help is needed to set this up, please submit a Service Call and one of our Representatives will be able to assist.
Thank you!

ACH email to vendor needs to include invoice, description, and amount
When sending ACH emails, currently it is just a generic "you are getting a deposit on this date". This does not help when sending multiple ACHs out with multiple invoices included to the vendor. The vendor does not know where to apply the credit. It would be nice to have the email generate the invoice number, description, and amount that is entered for the check request. The email should show the same information that the check stub shows when you print a regular check.
6 votesThank you for submitting this idea.
This functionality already exists in SMS and is hard coded into the system.
The email that is sent to the vendor when an ACH payment is processed contains a breakdown of the invoice information:
1. Direct Deposit Amount
2. Date
3. Invoice #
4. Description
5. Invoice AmountThe above information is only sent in the email itself. There is no preview information in the email setup.
You can go to Product Setup>System Admin>Email History
From here you can find the email sent to the Vendor, expand it, and see the actual info sent to the vendor.Thank you!

W-4 Step order
Change the screen for entering the 2020 W-4 information so the steps are shown in order. It currently shows step 3, 4a, 4b, nonresident, then step 2. When reviewing W-4 elections, a person looks from the top of the form to the bottom and fields for entering should be in the same order as the W-4 form.

Ability to view Account Number from Entry and Approval Screen
In the invoices entry, requisition entry, purchase order entry, invoice approval, and requisition approval screens you should be able to see the expense accounts as part of the grid. This would allow you to check the account distribution without having to go into each individual invoice or requisition. Would speed up checking and make entry more consistent.

If an Invoice Entry or Requisition Entry has multiple accounts, how would you expect to see the multiple accounts listed?

Add to PO printing config the ability to have "Blanket PO" printed on hard copy
If a PO is flagged as a "blanket po" to have that printed on the purchase order like it shows on the Req.
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We suggest that you try this instead:
Navigate to Web Finance > Purchasing > Setup > Configuration > Purchase Order Printing Setup to define your PO Form Definition. There is a checkbox at the bottom of the page under “Additional Parameters” to “Print Notes with POs and Requisitions”. The Print Notes with PO’s and Requisitions will print any attached notes with it. So we recommend putting in an actual note that says Blanket PO.
Next, navigate to Web Finance > Purchasing > Set Up > Configuration > Requisition Entry Setup Options > Requisition Entry Options to define your Requisition Entry Options.
Finally, verify in System Admin > Financial Management > Financial Management Configuration that you have “Use Print Engine Purchase Orders” checked.
This set up will allow you to print “Blanket PO” on a Purchase Order.
Thank you!

1099-NEC SHOULD BE STATE SPECIFIC
I have two ideas.. one is PA specific.. When processing the 1099 and creating the files for uploading.. for PA you need to check the box in the area where it says DON'T CHECK THIS BOX UNLESS TOLD TO DO SO.. well I spent a DAY not realizing that for PA upload this box MUST BE CHECKED.. screen should indicate clearIy which states need to have this box checked and 2) I happen to only have 1099s for PA and occasionally NJ, but that is another issue to look at: I bet other SKYWARD users also

Mass Custom Forms
It would be very helpful to be able to mass write custom forms to multiple students or to automatically create a custom form in each student's profile every time mass emails/messages are sent. The custom form settings could be in the settings for the message/email as well.

Enhance the DOE Staff Survey 2 and 3 Build for the Salary Schedule Pay Type Extract Method
We have employees on a Salary Matrix and have employees that we enter their salary (because of a Range not associated with a Salary Matrix in Skyward). In the DOE Staff Survey 2 and 3 Build, I continue getting over 50 employees with the error of "Grandfathered Sal Sched Pay Ind invalid" for the Staff Payroll Information, because I chose using "Skyward Pay Lane State Code". Need a way to accommodate the "Enter Salary Amount" when the Extract is running to put a crosswalk.

vendor browse
When you select a vendor to view in PAC that is inactive, It automatically takes you to the web. Apparently it is because you cannot inactivate a vendor in PAC, so if you are wanting to make any changes to the vendor profile (like reactivating) it has be be done in web. If I am trying to view it, I should be able to see it in PAC. I can understand if I hit the edit button that it would go to the web, but I am only selecting the vendor in the display screen. This is very time consuming.…

Insurance and fingerprinting information for vendors added to profile
Would like to have a box for different insurance date (IE workers comp, liability and auto insurance). Also somewhere to put date of fingerprinting is done. Also to have the ability to pull the information in a report so when vendor packets need to be redone you do not have to go through every vendor.

Employee Usernames
Contact Access- Setup- Configuration- Employee Users
Please add a space position as an option for part 2 of the login format, so user names can be first name, space, last name. Currently I have to manually add the space before emailing the account re-set link to new hires.

Employee ID available as Cross Reference in Custom Forms Import Data from Excel
In Employee Tab > Setup > Config > Custom Forms Setup > Import Data > Extract Data From Sheet. The options for cross referencing out of the excel doc into Skyward are only: Name ID, NalphaKey, SS#, (and others - student related #s - we don't use). I want there to be the option of Employee ID too! Is that possible?

Screener Access
Have the ability to assign multiple screener groups to postings. Your group would be determined by your assignment/location. Part I - If you are an administrator you have xyz rights. If you are a secretary you have abc rights. Part II - then your access would only be to the site that your assignment is at.
We have the ability of filtering by pay type in the access view. So part of the resources is there. In addition, we would like to keep the ability to manually add and remove access as deemed by the district per individualWe also…

Need to Remove Requirement for Gender Selection
When entering a new employee, we are forced to assign a gender under the Personal Information tab. We have individuals who choose NOT to gender identify. The system will not let us pass unless we make a gender selection. We need to either be able to leave this blank or at the very least have the option to select other or no selection.
3 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We are planning on releasing an update in Quarter 1 of 2021 to accommodate the various ways in which employees can now report their Gender.
