  2. Allow for a temporary approver to be substituted on the org chart

    We will have a True Time and Time Off approver out for a 2 month period. It would be beneficial to have the ability to add a temporary approver while that person is out. The temporary approver is already on the org chart with their own employees, so we don't want to combine the employees under one approver.

  3. Select All checkbox

    Would it be easier to have a check box that says "Select All" in this area as well?

  4. Limit display of Expense Reimbursement tab

    Once you enable the Expense Reimbursement tab in Employee Access, the tab is available for all Employee Access users. Not all users may be eligible to submit Expense Reimbursements and this tab is confusing.

    Similar to the True Time or Time Off tab, consider limiting the display to only users that are on the actual Org Chart associated with Expense Reimbursements. Or limit the display based on whether the employee vendor record is set up with the ACH tab populated.

  5. Cash Receipts/Accounts Receivable - Name Field

    The Name field in the Cash Receipts and Accounts Receivable entry are tied to the Vendor file in Accounts Payable. It is not often that we receive payments from our vendors. There needs to be a separate "Customer" Profile created for these modules so we can track payments received from DPI, other grantors, booster clubs, etc.

  6. Add Supervisor to Data Mining

    We can add a supervisor to an assignment, but it doesn't appear we can run a data mine with that field available. It would be helpful to have all fields of an assignment used in reports.

  7. Add an additional associated pay record to the contract maintenance screen due to covid

    Due to tracking of COVID pay, we need and additional associated pay record added to the contract tab. If we use the only one that is there for COVID pay, there is no place to also associate retro pay. Please create this ASAP! Urgent request

  8. Delay making W2 available electronicially if staff chooses to receive paper copy

    For the staff who choose to receive a printed copy, we'd like the ability to delay making the electronic version of the W-2 available in Employee Access. Basically, we are hoping to give an incentive to those who choose to receive it only electronically - the incentive is to have it available earlier. Ideally, we'd like to enter a date or run a separate process to activate the electronic version at a later date (for those who received a printed copy).

  9. Re-print expense reimbursement

    It would be nice if you could re-print the expense reimbursement invoice after it has been moved to history. Currently we can "view" the reimbursement but there is no great way to re-print the reimbursement invoice looking the same.

  10. Would like to save parameter sets in data mining

    Why is there no way to save specific parameters in the Web Data Mining? This makes running reports in WEB very inefficient.

    Budgetary Data Mining under “Runtime Report Setup” offers the option to “Change setup for this run and save setup” which creates and saves separate reports with all the selected parameters. You can even run multiple reports at the same time.

    If your not using Budgetary Data Mining, which please describe which Data Mining you are using so we can better understand this request.

    Thank you!

  11. change the default setting on Create Prenotification download file

    Change the default setting from no to yes where you are asked if you want to exclude inactive employees. It is illogical that you would default that setting to NO.

  12. Show visual of account number and balance in PO approval, like the Account Management side.

    There is a visual showing the Account and a pie chart in the Account Management side for PO approvals. In SBAA for the PO approval, there is no such visual available, making it take considerable more time to see the account that is used as well as a balance available. Please consider adding a similar visual to the SBAA PO approval system.

  13. vendor approval

    Can we have the option to have multiple vendor approvals like time offs. When one person approves a vendor, it can then go to another person and does not get approved until it has been approved by all approvers. Currently, if any approvers approve, it is goes through. The reason is because we require our individual vendors to go through a background check. We would like our HR department to approve the vendors so we know they passed the background requirements before the vendor is approved.

  15. KS - ADD LINK IN EMAIL FOR TRUE TIME APPROVAL

    I was told that the email notification for True Time Timesheet approval is hardcoded and cannot be modified - which is fine - BUT....it would be most helpful if there was a LINK to click on in the email that would take you to the approval page (like there is for time off requests). Since we don't have student - certified staff do not stay in Skyward - they only get in when they get notified that they have something pending.

  16. Vendor Sort by Category

    Would like to be able to add a category to vendors so we can sort by plumber or t-shirts or office supplies or etc. This can be a District created field. We just need a category drop down in Vendor Browse.

  17. W-4 2020

    The system should now be updated so the default for new employees should be with the W-4 for 2020 as Single with no adjustments. It shouldn't have the prior year defaults and require us to to click on 2020 or after W-4 for every new person going forward. I thought no changes were going to be allowed in the system for prior to the 2020 W-4 form. It should be switched at this point to default to 2020 info and just leave the prior info as viewing if not changed to 2020.

  18. Payroll Reports in Web need option to add the PAC reports

    There are a lot of account distribution reports that we have set up in PAC and use every payroll but are not seeing those reports in Web. The only way it seems to add those reports is to add them manually. I understand there are additional options but could there be something set up to pull in those reports and just add the additional options that are needed.

  20. True Time - Enforce Minimum Out To Lunch Timeframe

    In Timekeeping rules, it would be helpful if there was an option to set a minimum time for Out To Lunch. An option already exists that checks time out to lunch for conversion back to an IN punch, but there are no options available to not permit employees to punch back in until they have taken their full lunch break.

    This oversight is costing our district quite a bit in overtime/comp time due to employees failing to take their mandatory 30 minute lunch and accruing additional time throughout the week.

    I envision an additional option under the "Lunches are paid…
