  1. New Hire Request Auto-emails

    When a supervisor/hiring manager submits a New Hire Request, there is no notification if the request is denied. They need to monitor their Requests Waiting for Approval. We would like to see auto emails when a request is denied, as well as approved and submitted. This would be similar to how other areas of the system work.

  3. Crosswalks for Form 9 for Indiana

    It would be helpful if we could view only accounts without crosswalks when we are working on the Indiana Form 9. It takes such a long time to go through every account in PaC and each year the list gets bigger and bigger. If inactive accounts didn't show up (unless there was activity within a 6 month period), that would lessen the amount of accounts we have to go through each time.

  6. Deductions/Benefits on the Same or a Split Screen

    I would like to see an employee's DEDUCTIONS and BENEFITS on the same page (like they were in PAC). Maybe a split screen? I toggle back and forth between the two every day and it would be easier to be able to see both on one screen.

  8. To have the option in a pay code for OT to be Yes and Comp Time No.

    I have more situations in which a primary code will earn comp time. Then an extra duty code will earn overtime. However in Skyward I do not have the option to pay overtime without the comp time being marked as Yes. I can not pay both overtime and comp time for the same pay code. I would like to have the option changed to Over time Yes and select Yes or No for Comp Time so that this will pull into worksheets correctly.

  9. Select Check Column Sorting - WF\AP\CR\CR

    Sorry for the repost but, PR 4045393 did not address this issue as the screen is still not sortable. Need the ability to sort by columns that was removed in Addendum 2 (02/25/2019) restored. If there is an issue with maintaining the marks on selected checks you fix the issue instead of removing a function that brings the issue to light. We are talking about the screen "Select Checks to Apply Statement Date" where you complete the checkbox to apply the date to the selected checks.

  10. Tie pay record dates to contract dates

    When you connect a pay record to a contract the pay record should stop when the contract dates end. So if an employee does not continue on with a new contract for that pay record the next year it won't automatically pay out. In the contract area you could put a box to ask if you don't want that.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback to clarify this request.

    Is this request to make it so the pay record “by default” uses the paid start/stop dates on the CONTRACT to stop paying the pay record whether or not they’ve imported paid start/stop dates into their pay records with the assignment export/payroll import?

    If you have additional information to help clarify what you’d like to see updated or expect to see changed that will help us.

    Thank you!

  11. Wisconsin PI 1504/1505 and School Level Report Export should have the option to pull the Original Budget or the revised

    PI 1504/1505 and School Level Report should have the option to pull the Original Budget or the revised. Our Board approves the original budget and we need to report that to the state. Currently we can't allow budget revisions until the file upload is available around November 1st.

  12. Time Sheet Adjustments Waiting My Approval

    Supervisors would like a Widget: Time Sheets Adjustments Waiting My Approval. This would allow Supervisors to see adjustments that need to be made, from their dashboard, and then click the link to go straight to making the adjustments. Right now we have to go and find the adjustments.

  13. Button to Clone Assigment as Vacancy

    It would be so nice if there was an option to clone an assignment as a vacancy in Salary Negotiations. If an employee left, instead of deleting their old assignment and creating a vacancy, you would just have to clone the assignment of the person leaving. You are able to clone a vacancy to create a new assignment. It would be so helpful to be able to do it vice versa too.

  15. Current Value Report Sorting

    Please add more sorting options for the Current value report. Such as the type code. It is very useful when reporting fixed assets to have them grouped by their type such as vehicles, or buildings. It would also be helpful if a description were added to the source expense account that reports.

  16. Add a Disposal Date to an Asset record for accurate depreciation calculations

    Currently, Skyward will not calculate any depreciation for the year once an assets is tagged as disposed. A disposal date needs to be added to the asset record and Skyward needs to calculate the partial depreciation in the disposal year based on that the disposal date.

  17. Fixed Asset search

    It would be nice to be able start typing in a description of the asset rather than having to know the asset key or tag number on the asset. Example if I am looking for a Dodge truck, it would be helpful to be able to type Dodge in the description field and have all assets that start with Dodge come up as a selection option
