  1. GIving supervisors access to run payroll reports for only their staff

    GIving supervisors access to run payroll reports for only their staff. Right now if I give a supervisor access to account distribution, they are able to run this report for anyone on staff but I only want them to be able to run this report for their staff.

  2. During requisition approval process allow editing of the account code by the final approver

    We have a two approver process setup for all requisitions. First approver is by the building administrator who is responsible for the building budgets and the staff in that building. The final approver is in the District Office to verify the correct account codes and push through the final PO (eCommerce ordering, emailing, etc.) It would be nice if the final approver would be able to change account codes, if necessary, without it pushing the requisition back through the approval process, thus making the administrator approve again.

  3. Favorite Widget Expansion - To allow for more favorites to be displayed rather than scroll to find them within widget.

    Most days the Favorite Widget is my GO-TO..... I would like to be able to expand this to the full column length in order to see the items I use frequently, rather than scroll through the widget to click on them.

  4. Would like to see the "Description" field in the requisitions be much smaller

    The "Description" field needs to be a smaller field since this is what prints on checks and in reports. With is being such a large field, staff enter many, many things in this field; they enter items that should be on the requisition lines, notes, etc. If the field were smaller I think it might deter them from writing a novel, and we wouldn't have to re-enter information in the correct fields.

  7. Credit card report based on date of final approval

    We would like to be able to run a credit card report based on the date that the transaction is fully approved, regardless of when the transaction, import or post date is. For instance, a report of all transactions that were fully approved during October, even if the transaction date is in September.

  8. Assignment hourly rate

    Assignment payroll information does not use the same logic to calculate the hourly rate as it does when calculating the daily rate when you have the condition of a mixture of matrix types. Daily rate includes the base salary information and all add-on records in the calculation. Hourly rate includes only the base salary amounts. Would seem logical that if daily can be calculated with a mixed matrix type the hourly could also be done.

  9. Ability to mass import documents to employee files

    We use another program to evaluate our teachers and staff, the end product is a signed PDF that needs to be uploaded to the employee records. We can mass download the completed files with name and ID as file descriptors. What we need is the ability to import the files directly to the employee records without having to individually import each file.

  10. Select multiple credit card transactions and attach to a purchase order or budget code.

    I would like to be able to select multiple CC transactions for a purchase order or a budget code. I have to individually select the purchase order for multiple transactions even though they are on the same purchase order. The same thing is true when I am submitting an expense report that only has a budget code. The other part to a purchase order is when I attach a receipt to a transaction with a purchase order, the receipt does not attach to the acutal po. I have to do that separately.

  11. An option to tag necessary personnel on leave requests automatically.

    There needs to be an option for online leave requests to automatically go to the necessary personnel. Currently it automatically goes to the admin who needs to approve it, but employees need to remember to tag me on the request. As the person who tracks time off and finds subs for every building, this is an ongoing headache, as not everyone remembers to tag me, despite the fact I have an alert that pops up that reminds them to do this every time they go to submit a request.

  12. Overtime - TrueTime

    School custodians work weekends for building rentals. These hours normally exceed 40 hours and are paid at the overtime rate. Currently all overtime hours are charged to the rental activity account. Under the new True Time import, the overtime hours are prorated between the custodial pay code and the rental pay code as follows:
    40 hours custodial
    10 hours rental
    results is 80% of 10 hours charged to custodial and 20% to rental.
    We are suggesting an option to allow the overtime to remain charged to the rental pay code.

  13. Credit Card: Allow access to view "Quick Key" & "Account Description" on Review/Submit Transaction and Approve Transaction screen

    It would be very helpful to all the "Quick Key" & "Account Description" columns to be an option on the Review/Submit transactions and Approve Transactions screen. This would be very similar to the option given for "Account 2" in the approve transactions screen.

  14. Credit Card: Select All Approval button only selects the transactions being viewed

    We have filters set up for each cardholder on the approval screen. It would be helpful if the "Select All" button only allowed to select all the transactions the approver views on the screen.

  15. Attaching a PO with multiple lines to Credit Card Transactions

    When attaching a PO with multiple lines to a credit card transaction, it would be beneficial to have the option to only select from the line(s) you need, vs. having to 'assign all PO lines' and then having to delete the ones you don't need from the Transaction Detail Lines

  16. Allow _Vacancy to be included in Data Mining Reports

    There is currently not a method to report ALL Positions & Assignments including Vacancies utilizing Data Mining.

    Assignments is a good tool but it only includes 2 Account Codes (we have many positions with 3-6 account codes) so this is not an adequate tool when reporting, managing data with account codes.

    This should be an "easy" fix since several "canned" reports have an option to "Include Vacant Assignments."

    Thank you!

  17. employee profile auto fill into employee management

    It would be helpful if the Employee Profile fed into the Employee Management Module. When entering a new employee, it seems redundant to enter it again into the Employee Management section.

  19. Add option to add charter school employees to all formats for State Reporting

    In the State reporting maintain area there is an option to Add Charter Demographic Info but not to any of the other formats. It would be so helpful to be able to add charter school staff in all of the formats and be able to clone them year to year with the ability to edit and update fields. I find it hard at the moment to only add charter staff demographic information if we have to manually create files for all the other formats since they are not on our payroll.

  20. New Vendor Request - adding attachment

    When staff are requesting a new vendor there isn't an ability to "attach" a W9 to the request. Is that possible?
