  2. Field pertaining to certification status on service record.

    Would like a certification field in the Service Record Information data. With changes pertaining to Texas service records, we need to designate whether the employee was certified for the reported year.

  4. PII access should be a separate security tier, prompt for elevation for PII, smartcard elevation for PII

    Part 1: As a skyward admin with all system access, I don't really need access to see social security numbers, the names of parents and guardians, their phone numbers, bank routing / account information for all staff and students, their birthdays, their addresses to do 99% of my job.

    It is an unnecessary hazard to the district for system admins like me to have this PII access on a routine basis every day as part of my job. I believe this also extends to HR Directors and Payroll / Accounting. 99% of the time we don't need to see any…

  5. I think it would great if you could choose payrolls and not only dates on the payroll expense report

    I think it would great if you could choose payrolls and not only dates on the payroll expense report. You already do this on the deduction benefit history report. If you could choose specific payrolls on the payroll expense report it would be your best payroll report. Also is there any way to tie the Sequence ID to saved reports from payroll for example the check verification register. If I did 5 payrolls in July, I would love to not have run the report on each one in payroll expenses to see which one it is. I am attaching a…

  6. Expense Reimbursement Attachments

    When entering in an expense reimbursement it would be helpful if a warning showed up when attachments are not included before they can submit the reimbursement for certain expense codes. This would help employees understand they need to submit receipts for certain expenses.

  7. attachment option under the "degrees" field in web

    I would like at attachment option under the degrees field so we can scan and attach the correlating transcripts to an entered degree.

    We have this option for credits, but why not under degrees also?

  10. Be able to add a ship to name without adding a vendor

    I previously had the ability to add a ship to name without setting up a new vendor. I need to be able to ship to our Ag Barn, but that isn't a vendor. Please put a button back in the requisition/PO group set up where you can add a ship to name without creating a vendor.

  12. Account Filter in Payroll Reports

    All payroll reports should have the ability to filter by account number.

    For example our auditors asked us to get them a report that showed all employees charged to ESSER (project 165). They wanted this report to show the employee, check date, check number, and at least the gross amount.

    I couldn't do this because the reports that show those things were not able to be filtered by project number. The only one I found able to be filtered by project number was the "Account Distribution" report in Historical Payroll Reports. This report did not have the option of showing…

  13. Utility to remove Old WIP status Expense Reimbursement requests

    Clean up utility to remove WIP status expense reimbursement requests for former employees or for prior years. When you use the "Print WIP Report" you have a list of outstanding requests from all years and termed employees.
    To remove these request you need to make the employee active again and add them to the org chart. Then login as the employee to remove the request, remove them from the org chart, make account inactive again.

  15. SBAA Chart of Accounts

    On the Chart of Accounts, when using Filter Options - Destination Browse: Chart of Accounts with PO Amounts and Account Types: BS Accounts, show the PO Amount Remaining for purchase orders that were created using the Expense account that corresponds to the Equity account. Since the Q account is the net of the Revenue & Expense, why wouldn't the PO Amount show in that column? Treasurers would like to see at a glance what their actual account balance is, including their outstanding POs.

  17. Customer Access Additional Information

    Regarding service call results, the summary email that is provided is great, but could the same information be added under the "View My Requests" section, or allow the user the ability to add an attachment of the summary in that area? This would be an excellent historical reference and may result in fewer duplicates of submissions because there is something organized to refer back to.

  18. Total Amount Columns on Chart of Accounts

    Would like to see amount totals for each column in Chart of Accounts. When a filter is applied for a grant or group of accounts, it would be helpful if the view totaled the filtered accounts. See example attached from Skyward Competitor SchoolsOPEN Finance. Thank you for your consideration.

  19. Mass delete records in maintain extracted TCRS data

    We have 300 employees with a Fringe benefit that can not be reported to TCRS (TN specific) and there is no option to mass delete these records in the maintain screen. I have to go one by one to delete each month I have to process the report.

  20. Allow user to view notes on a Task Step that has been completed.

    After completing a step for a task, the user can see this in the Task History. They cannot see the note that they added. This would be useful when they need to reference this information after the fact.
