Inactive Employee does not display Online Form
When an employee is inactivated you can no longer view completed online forms even when the form is still active. You have to activate the employee to see history on the completed online form.

Untie link from Inactive Employee to SMS
With a merged DB. When an employee is entered into the HR side they are forever unable to make changes to the record when they are also in the SM side (it says they are an employee and changes need to be made on that side). Even when the employee is inactive and has not worked her for years. That make it a problem when we add that person as an emergency contact or parent grandparent for phone and address changes. Once an Employee is inactivated on the HR side we should be able to break that tie to them…

Limiting Time Off Requests to 1 per day
It would be helpful if there was a configuration option to limit the requested number of Time Off transactions to 1 per day. There currently is an option to 'Prevent employees from requesting more than one day off with a single Time Off transaction' but no option to limit the number of requests to 1 per day. ie: Option to stop the entry of 1 sick day and then 1 authorized day on the same date/time.

Account Transaction Ledger
We can run a report to show the transactions on an account but cannot see the other side. We want to be able to track all the transactions against an account - both debits and credits to see both sides of the transactions. For instance we want to see the activity for our discount GL but need to see the other side of that posting. For now we have to drill into each transaction to look for the debit/credit against that transaction - for every transaction.

Add Mass Change Assignment Breakdown utility to SN
Employee Management has a utility Mass Change Assignment Breakdown Fields but it is missing from the Salary Negotiations utility menu. It would be very helpful to add this utility here since we rely on SN for the KS Licensed Personnel Report.

Ability to import data into Personnel records
We need the ability to import information into the Name table. Currently we have a need to move the phone number from the primary phone field into the second phone field as it is blank for most users. The second phone will be used to call for emergency school closures as the primary phone field contains the school number pulled in state reporting. Currently we use PowerSchool for our Student information. They have the ability using the key field for the table as Entry 1 and then specifying the field where the information is to be placed.

Add ability to create a customized filter
I would like to request the ability to add my own customizable filter to the credit card approval screen as well as account detail similar to that on the Approve Requisitions page. As the business manager/final approve I approve all cc transactions so it would be easier to see only the info I want vs scrolling to the right = waste of time. It would be awesome if this screen showed the account detail / usage as the Approve Requisitions screen does. Making the verification and approval of credit card transactions more efficient and accurate.

create date
Fixed Asset has a field call "Create Date". This field needs to be populated for all records regardless of how the record is created. Would greatly improve the ability to search for errors when you know that something happened within a date range.

Ability to mass change expiration dates for certif
MDE (MN Dept of Education) is upgrading to a tiered licensing system. To achieve this they will be extending all existing teacher licenses by one year from their current expiration date. All licenses expiring 6/30/18 will be extended to 6/30/19. Similarly 19 will go to 20 20 will go to 21 21 will go to 22 and 22 will go to 23. If not able to mass change it will require all schools in MN to manually update the expiration date of all teachers. This will increase the possibility of errors in the future.
By allowing a mass update by…57 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea.
We’ve researched this request and current SMS 2.0 functionality and we suggest trying this instead:
Create a Data Mining Report from Human Resources > Employee> Data Mining to pull certification information. You can export the Data Mining Report to an excel spreadsheet to mass update expiration dates.
Then, navigate to Human Resources > Employee > Product Setup> Utilities > Certifications Import. You can re-import the Data Mining spreadsheet with all the updated certification expiration dates.
Please be sure to verify the Expiration Date is not checked for the Creation Criteria on the import. This process will allow you to mass update all certification expiration dates.
Thank you!

Changing PO account numbers
As the PO processor I would like to be able to change account numbers as needed regardless of the PO group. In PAC I can pick whatever account number is needed for the PO no matter what PO group the requisitioner chose or is a member of. For instance I've got a librarian in my high school who orders a certain program for all of my buildings but she's only got access to the HS library accounts not the accounts for each building. In PAC I can change the accounting to charge all 4 library accounts while I'm batching the…

Option for items in bank rec to be unchecked
Currently when working on the bank reconciliation the system opens the reconciliation with all items "checked" as if they are all cleared. It would be nice to have the items come in as "unchecked" so that you could check them off as you clear them. Or at least an option to select them all to "uncheck". It is really easy to miss an item that has not cleared especially when many of the items are the same amount i.e. textbook fees and there can be hundreds of fee management entries in that one months statement.
To have the bank rec…25 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback.

Allow Export of Employee Data
Allow export of employee data that can be scheduled similar to how skybuild works in student mgmt. allow export to a CSV file that will allow the file to retain any leading zeros in the ssn or other codes. data mining does not accomplish this as it will only export to excel, and it changes the formatting.

Check Request Approval
Immediately see account code & overage alert for check request on the bottom of screen like we currently do for POs. Also make check request approval available in mobile app in same area as POs.
2 votesThank you for submitting this request to the Ideas Portal.
We will look into adding the account code and overage alert for check requests on the bottom of the screen like POs.
Mobile check request approval became available in the February Release (2/14/19).

Ability to Attach multiple documents at once
Regarding Cash Receipts and Journal Entries (ATTACHMENTS). I would like the ability to attach multiple saved attachments at the same time (by using the control key for example) to my cash receipt batches and journal entries. Currently we need to attach one document at a time and it is very time consuming. I think this request would benefit all Skyward software users not just my District. In a windows environment the control key within Windows Explorer usually allows the user to choose multiple files to upload or attach to emails for example.

Check Stub Printing
We would like to have the check stub for our checks print in 2 parts instead of having to print the check and then print a separate voucher (and in the case of SBAA they have to photo copy the checks because there isn't a voucher option). We purchased our checks from the Skyward recommended vendor Nelco and the checks come with a perforation in the stub to be able to print that way. We are wasting money and time by having to print vouchers and make photocopies. I'm surprised more districts haven't complained about this. This is an enhancement…
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. Nelco is the authorized partner of compatible paper forms for the Skyward software. All W-2 and 1099 forms, checks, and school forms are guaranteed 100% compatible. Any issues with the check layout will need to be handled by Nelco as Skyward is unable to alter the format in anyway.

Combine checks for individual vendors
It would be great if checks to the same vendor could be combined like they can on the Financial Management side. It is the same concept of having several purchase orders and sending one check to the vendor. The negative impact is that we are wasting paper checks by not combining.
One check to each vendor from several purchase orders75 votesWe hear and understand the value of this request. We appreciate everyone voting and commenting on this request. We did not take this request lightly; we’ve reviewed it and conducted a thorough analysis of the project with our development team. Currently, it’s not something on the roadmap for development.

Coupons with On-line Ordering
When using the on-line ordering especially for Quill they have coupon codes you have to enter to get money off depending on how much you order. One of the secretaries that was ordering didn't find a way to add the code. She called Quill and she said we had to check with Skyward. She put in a call to Skyward and they told her we needed to ask for the enhancement. Is it possible that we can get this added?

Clone Substitute as part of Time Off Trans Clone
It would be great to have the option of cloning the Substitute as part of the Time Off transaction clone process. I most often use the clone process for FMLA or long-term situations and many times the substitute is the same for the whole period. As it is right now I can clone the time off but then have to edit each transaction any way to update the sub field. Although it would add a step it would be great if a preview screen would pop up showing the dates time off type reason and sub for the days you…
