ED40 Records
Since there have been issues with ED records in Skyward and on TRS Portal it would be nice to have a clone button to clone a record. For example this month I am having an issue with TRS portal that an ED40 records have not been submitted for August contracts. However I can see the ED40 record in Skyward and TRS. Other districts have just manually entered in the records because they did not have very many to get the system to process it. I am waiting to hear back from TRS since I have multiple employees I am getting…

Add confirmation email "reply to" option
From within Online Forms a custom email can be sent after completion of the online form. We would like the ability to enter a "reply to" or "from" email address for this message. Currently the reply-to email is the default reply-to email for the entire system which in our case is HR/Finance and Student. We typically have the default set up as a noreply email but we want the Online Form confirmation email to have a valid reply-to email when we use Online Forms for our insurance Open Enrollment process. So during our Open Enrollment all emails that are sent…
38 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback.
We need some clarification on your current process.
Are you processing Open Enrollment outside of Skyward? We ask because Online Forms is not what is used for Open Enrollment in Skyward. Custom Forms are used for Open Enrollment and we currently don’t have an Email option linked with Custom Forms.
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for walking us through your process so we can better understand this request!

Adding paycode - Add to True time message
When adding a new paycode it would be nice to have an option to say yes/no to adding the paycode to True Time at that point. Time saving. Many times I may be mass adding a paycode for payment of a one-time thing - if I don't remember to also turn it off in True Time I end up with many confused employees wondering why they have a new option when they punch in. More often than not it won't be related to True Time and I'd like to choose that right away.

Our district changed to Office 365 for our e-mail and found out that Skyward isn't compatible with it. So now everything we have set for reminders POs enrollment monthly reports are not going out. Our contracted IT department is trying to fix a patch but I would like Skyward to see if they can do it.

Expected Levels of Performance
After a recent update the expected level of performance moved to having ELP sets. Each teacher needs to set up their own sets for each class. However many teachers in my district are setting their ELP sets to the exact same settings. This seems redundant to me. It would be nice if there were a way to create ELP sets at an Entity level for each grading scale that are then available to all teachers for use in all classes using that grading scale. From there the Entity could then have the power to decide whether teachers are able to…

Changes made to the TRS Staff Salary New Extract
The extract has been changed to only include active employees. However To provide accurate reporting on TEA Staff Salary report. Inactive Profiles need to be added back to the extraction which include the last payroll and term dates. Also it would be better for the extraction to pull from pay history and not just active employees. I am going back checking some things with the new way of reporting it would be nice if the Skyward report had which month the data is extracted from when looking at multiple months. Having the terms and inactive profiles is helpful sometimes we…

Detail Activity
Please take a look at the attached printscreen and tell me if you think that this is detailed activity. Not sure how it can be detailed when it doesn't contain any type of description vendor information payment date etc. Could the detailed information be added to this screen instead of going two screens back to get that information.

Display timesheet in Unsubmitted even if no hours
Could it be set up so a timesheet is created even if there are no hours recorded and have it display in Unsubmitted Time Sheets for each week there is a workweek schedule? This would be for timekeeping rules that use Annualized Pay based on Employee’s Schedule (see attachment for screen shots). Currently the Unsubmitted Time Sheets area doesn’t show timesheets for weeks where the employee didn’t clock in for the entire week. This could be a problem since the employee is automatically paid using annualized pay and it’s possible time off or worked time was supposed to have been…

Covered individuals
For each employee I noticed that there is a box to say employee is a covered individual. Our district is self-insured so every covered individual must be reported. When you check the box the employee's information (name social and date of birth) does not automatically populate in the bottom. I had not added them manually in the bottom because a Skyward rep told me that the IRS will recognize the employee as covered because the box was checked. However the IRS does NOT accept the record and tells us that it is an error because the box is checked but…

Garnishment calculation
US Department of Education calculates disposable earnings as Gross less taxes less health insurance less WRS pension. Also has a base minimum poverty earnings that excludes the deduction is earnings are too low. Skyward only has the standard disposable calculation of Gross less taxes. Negative impact: Federal Law failure to comply with correct calculation. Add another disposable calculation option that follow the US Dept of Education calculation that also includes the option of minimum earnings by employee.

VENDOR ACH SETUP
We are moving in the direction of using more ACH processing and have come across the vendor "Alliant Energy" who requires certain criteria that Skyward is not able to support at this time. Per Aaron King (Service call: 3683187) the part that is not support is the Addenda 7 part of the attached form. Since we make weekly payments to this vendor (because of the various buildings with different due dates) we would like to see if something could be worked out to accommodate ACH processing.

Also under the Student management message center. reporting would be helpful as well. By student by specific message by user ect...

Mass add auto approval rules
In the Purchase order groups setup I currently have to go into each group to update the auto approval rules. I would like a mass add function so that I can select multiple groups and apply the auto approval rules to the groups that I select so that I don't have to individually update every one of them. This would be a great time saver!

ELP and Family Access
When parents login to Family Access and look at the Grade Marks screen the red yellow green color coding we have set up in Expected Levels of Performance does not appear. For parents to be able to see the color coding they have to click on the book icon for the grading period and then click show all events. We would like for our parents to not have to go through so many steps. Also I have been informed the color coding does not show up on the mobile app at all. We have been encouraging teachers to use ELP…

Deduction Benefit History-/Payroll Date Selection
A date range or something needs to be added to this area. When I have 20 years of information and I need to gather ALL 20 years and we do 3 payrolls a month do you know how many CLICKS THAT IS? I know an RFE was put in a few years ago. This seriously needs to be fixed on the web side of Payroll.

Creating email 1, 2 and 3 like Phone number
We would like to have an email 1 email 2 and email 3 similar to how phone is set up. This way we could allow employees to update their personal emails whenever they would like but have it set to read only with their company email. The way the system is set up currently it is all or nothing.
Create an email 1 email 2 and email 3 just like phone numbers are set up in the Request Change Setup are.9 votesUpon Clarification, I have created a PR (5564535) to add individual fields in Request Changes for Email Addresses.

Reset all quick filter ranges with one click
I often use the quick filters for filtering data in my browse screens. Currently if I have multiple filters in place I must reset each one individually in order to clear all the filters. This is frustrating. I wish there was a one click option to clear all my quick filter ranges.

ACA employee selection parameters
When adding an employee to the ACA workfile I would like to have the ability to select multiple employees similar to other selection parameters in the software. This would save a lot of time if I have a list of specific employees to add. Time is money $.
2 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest you try this instead:
During webinars our State and Federal Reporting Department recommend using an import process in this same Method to select employees quickly. You can do this using the 1095 tracker and exporting the browse of employees with an employee identifier at the time of running the report. You can run the 1095 tracker with an employee identifier of (employee id for example) and then export that browse to excel, save it and import it during year end using method 3.

Enhancements to the EM Pay Distribution Report
Would like to have an option to Display Repeating Fields so that we can convert to Excel and have the account codes listed for each person. We'd also like to have the building code and FTE added to this report. Our goal would be to have something similar to the Employee Costing Report found under Salary Negotiations. See attached file with screen shots. Either add an option to Display Repeating fields (as used in the Payroll Account Distribution Report) or adjust the Convert to Excel process to repeat the account codes. The current report has room for more fields to…

Language Spoken at Home
Wondering if the language spoken at home can be added to the Profile screen teachers see in addition to the home/native language. Many of our teachers require this information when scheduling conferences and/or meetings that require a translator.
