Select Fields under Employee Access, Employee Profile, Employee for Administrative Team to view.
I have the administrative team set up under employee access to view employee profile and emergency contact. Under the employee profile, the identification numbers appear and I would like to see an option that this would not be available for a group. There is no reason the administrative team needs this information and just one more way that fraud with social security numbers could happen. It is a great feature for all the other information available for them, but no need for the identification numbers. Please consider this and keep me updated on your decision. Thank you and stay healthy…

Budget line item entry via Quick Key not the entire account number
Add the Quick Key Feature to any area the Account number is listed in order to quickly enter the account number. Whether this is budget entry, revision, or in general financial management. The point of a quick key is efficiency, but it is not available where it could be utilized.

Employee Access: Staff to View One Page Calendar (PDF)
We have over 70 employee assignment calendars in our district. Staff can activate their assignment calendar from the Calendar area and view it month by month but what we would find extremely helpful is the ability for staff to view the one page PDF view of their calendar. Perhaps it could be added as a link on the Set Calendar Display Options screen. Or, I could see this as an option under the Personnel tab or as a drill down feature when looking at their Assignment. After expanding the assignment, I can see the calendar name listed under Term Information.…

Accounting for wires
Wondering if this is already posted somewhere else, might not just be wires. The Accounting for Wires doesn't mirror payable activity, particularly important across FY.
When I'm batch updating wire payments with 2019-20 expenses, I need to do so with a 6/30/20 posting date to keep the expense in that FY. The wire has taken place in July. At the time of processing the check register, I would expect the payment to reflect as a July credit to cash, debit to the AP liability.
Since it doesn't I have to now JE my wires in July into the Liability on…

Add a warning message when a payroll includes ACA-related Additional Medicare Tax for earnings in excess of $200k.
Adding a warning message when Additional Medicare Taxes are included in a payroll would greatly reduce the time spend auditing the Medicare deductions and benefits.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
We need some more information from you to best respond.
Are you using an additional Medicare code during payroll? If so, why?
The Medicare tax table is setup with the Medicare High Income Threshold of $200,000. The system will automatically combine all codes flagged as Medicare to meet the threshold.
The system should process and combine if you have calculated Medicare and then also an amount type Medicare code used during payroll. During the calculation process you should receive a warning message the employee has met that threshold amount of $200,000.
If you’re still having trouble, I’d suggest submitting a Service Call to our Customer Consulting and Support Center and a Representative will be able to review your settings and troubleshoot with you.
Thank you!

Ability to see account numbers when entering invoices
I am trying to clean up vendor records with more data at our fingertips. When we have the invoice in front us for entering for payment is when we can see account number the vendor uses for us , their address, remit to address, terms etc. Please show the account number for that vendor on our invoice entry screen. Please see example.

Salary Negotiations - Include _Vacants in Reports
The Employee Management Report under Salary Negotiation Reports does not include Contract dollars amounts for _Vacant positions but should. Other reports in Salary Negotiations such as Pay/Distribution and Detail and Summary reports do. I would like to see this consistent.
7 votesTo include Vacants in report, go to the Selection Parameters in the report template. Add a new parameter set or edit an existing one. Make sure the Include Vacant Assignments is checked. Save the parameter set.

Allow Spreadsheet Style editing on Invoice Entry Screen
To makes edits on the invoice entry screen you currently have to edit each individual invoice. It would speed things up greatly if you could make edits down the columns just like a spreadsheet. For example, you enter 20 invoices and then realize that the due date needs to be changed. Instead of having to go to each individual invoice you could make a mass edit button that allows you to edit anything in the Invoice Entry grid and just hit enter to be able to move on to the next invoice to edit.

Snapshot of what a fund looked like based upon a specific date
Our SBOA auditors have been asking us for a "snapshot" of our Federal Funds based upon a specific date of their choosing. This currently isn't possible because everything is like a living document in Skyward. So if we need to reproduce a data mining report from a prior date (say 8-31-19 for example) to verify something such as our reimbursement request for August expenditures will never be correct or the same as it was from 8-31-19 due to activity throughout the following months. We should be able to print the same report we did from a year ago and get…
2 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!
We’re looking for clarity on this idea: Is this idea requesting an update to the reporting capabilities or does it deal more with the fact that if you backdate something we don’t have a tracker field in Data Mining to indicate that the transaction was backdated?
Thank you for your feedback!

Truetime Org Chart
Our teachers work extra hours and they submit these hours on pay vouchers. Each pay voucher, depending on what the extra hours are, have supervisors approval the hours worked. I worked with Skyward over the summer in trying to get each of the extra pay items, entered as a new pay code at each building, but unfortunately, the org chart cannot accommodate the different scenarios we had.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. Could you help us understand this request more?
Could you walk us through your process and explain what you would expect to happen during the process? In what ways is the org chart unable to accommodate the different scenarios?

Visual for Check Request approval
Please allow for a visual in the check request approval that views the same as the visual for the PO/req approval. This would greatly increase the speed of approving check requests as currently you have to click into each check request to see the account number. It would be much more efficient to have a visual displayed like the PO/req system approval.

Re-print damaged checks without having to update accounting
After printing paper checks but prior to Accounting update, include a question if all checks printed correctly. If the answer is yes, the accounting update proceeds as normal. If the answer is no, populate the list of checks that were printed with a checkbox next to each one. Checks that did not print properly would have the box(es) marked, along with a new print range for blank checks. This process repeats itself until all checks print properly.
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. At this time, we will not consider it for development.
Skyward does allow the reprint of checks prior to the Update option.
It is our recommended best practice for all districts to review the checks to confirm they have printed correctly prior to running the update.
During the update process Skyward provides a “triple confirmation”. When updating: you have to click Update, which brings you to the Update screen, then you have to click Update again, and then you receive a final window prompt to confirm you want to update.
The ability to choose to print only certain pages exist through standard printer options.
This idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting by the Skyward user community.

Ability to submit time off requests to mulitple supervisors at one time
When an employee has an assignment at more than one building they have the option to choose which supervisor to submit the time off request to, however, at this time they can only choose one or the other. They do not have the option to submit the time off request to both supervisors at one time. I think the option to submit to both supervisors at one time for each of the buildings would be a nice add-in.
