  2. Balance Sheet Detail Report

    Currently you can print a report for the balance sheet assets but it does not allow you to include the details of each transaction. I would like to see an option to include the details of each transaction on the report showing what makes up each transaction for CR, AP, PR, and JE's. Not just the summary update total.

  3. Auto Populate W2's Issued

    When employees process their own tax returns, like through Turbo Tax, they can choose to have their W2 auto populate once a few fields are filled out. Skyward W2's do not auto populate.

  4. PR1500

    There seems to be a glitch in the new Texas reporting PR1500. The Bilingual/ESL/Special Education field is a required field. The system will not allow you to proceed without choosing one or the other.

  5. Provide the ability for users to elect to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report

    With this report being generated and possibly sent to employees with no need to see SSN, it would be great if could to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report. Similar functionality exists elsewhere in the software and it makes sense to add it here as well.

  6. Employee Access/Ethnicity

    When allowing employees to change their Ethnicity in Employee Access, instead of Hispanic/Latino?, two separate boxes would be most beneficial. One box that states Hispanic Latino and another that states Non Hispanic/Latino

  7. Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form

    Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form.
    New employee form requires notice to employee of wage change or any change to pay. We can do this individually for new hires but for mass changes due to contract changes it would be helpful to have a utility to create a form from skyward to send to the employee.

    Addendum 9 included a change to Purchasing Contract Codes. Now, Start and End Dates are included in the codes. Purchasing staff would like the option to turn this off.

  9. Cooperative contract auto send the PO to the cooperative

    Vendors who have a cooperative contract tied to them to auto send a copy of the PO to the cooperative for verification. Much like we are able to auto send a copy of the PO to the vendor we could auto send a copy of the PO to the cooperative based on the contract used.

  10. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

    When the pre-verifer is selected on the first screen of entry it does not hold. After the expense details are added and saved it either defaults back to no pre-verification is needed or a previously selected pre-verifier. In addition, the optional pre-verifier field should default to no pre-verification needed. If the user had a previously selected pre-verifier it holds that data on their next entry. This is not always going to be that same person so the chance of this getting routed to the wrong person is high.

  11. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date on Employee Profile Screen

    Birth Date should follow age on Employee profile screen. I look at age and assume the date following it is birth date. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date.

  12. Add district option to hide Credit Card number from Credit Card Trans Rpt

    Currently there is a option on the Credit Card Transaction Report screen to show the card number as a Full Number, Last Four Digits or Do Not Display. We'd like a district option to remove the choice of displaying the Full Number on the Credit Card Transaction Report. We instruct staff, with access to this, to choose either "last four digits" or "do not display", but they can select the "full number" option. To add a layer of security we would like to remove this option for all users in our district. WP\AP\CC\RE\CT

    I know the final approval has the option to "select all" transactions for approval. Why can't the Accounts Payable person have the same option? I am clicking on 200-250 transactions. Thank you.

  14. Language Preference

    Allowing the End User a language preference would be extremely helpful. Especially in Employee Access when an employee speaks and reads in a different language. This would be a huge benefit for those having to use Time Off and True Time.

  15. Include Building Location Column under Employees on the Advanced Employee Lookup screen

    On the Advanced Employee Lookup screen, it would be helpful to have the Building location column under the Employees Section where you select from the filtered list. So if I am looking for a person and only know their first name, employee type and building, it would be easier to find the person in Skyward.

    Skyward currently offers a Mass Add option to add users to Account Clearance Groups. I would like to see an option to Mass Delete user option? We currently have to manually remove users one at a time.

  17. changes to time off transactions

    It would be helpful to be able to expand changes that can be made to a time off transaction after it's been approved to include all fields. Sometimes since the Time Off field defaults to a certain code, employees forget to change that, but enter the correct reason code. In order to change it to the correct code (that actually goes against their balances), the entry needs to be deleted and reentered. If I were able to simply change the time off code, that would be a lot more efficent.

  19. Edit time off hours

    I would like the ability to edit time off hours in True Time. For example, we have had employees who went home sick midday. They worked 5 of their 8 hours and then put in for 1/2 sick day which added an additional 4 hours. Per policy, employees using paid time off cannot be paid for more than their scheduled hours. With the current system, I have to change the time off request to 0 days, manually add the time off hours in True Time, then go back and change the time off request back to the correct increment after…

  20. Account Code on Check
