Edit Assignment in Position Control Maintenance
Would like to see opportunity to edit one position's assignment in position control maintenance - rather than using the position assignment mass change. The edit button is there....but the assignment area is dimmed out.

Modify Widget to Show ALL EMPLOYEES UNDERNEATH ME
I don't know if it's possible but we would really love the ability to change the setting of the bar graph widget for employee time off per week to see ALL employees under someone. These widgets are SOOOOO helpful and having the ability to change this setting with help us work smarter not harder. ;-) Right now the widget only shows employees who report directly to the approver. I included some screenshots in an effort to better clarify what I'm asking.
Having the ability to change this setting will help our Special Ed Executive Director see a quick snap shot…49 votes -
User cannot edit a request in the approval process
Once a New Hire request is approved at a low level and there are more approvals needed. The submitter cannot edit the request. Would like it to work like finance requisitions where the submitter can Edit but it resets the approvals back to the beginning.

JE approval path streamlined
Would like to have a journal entry approval path alternative for established dollar amount thresholds or for certain types of JE's.
For example maybe entries over $50K go to the CFO rather than a Director,etc..
Also would like to be able to see who prepared and reveiwed the JE on the screen or when printed for audit purposes.1 voteIf you haven’t already tried the approve and reroute option, that might meet your needs:
There is not a way to have conditional approval for Journal Entries in the way described in the question. What can be done, however, is that the Journal Entry setup can be done in such a way so as to allow rerouting approval to another user.
When this option is turned on, Journal Entry approvers will be able to approve the journal entry and then send it to another User for approval.
This User must be an approver in another Journal Entry Group.

When entering Invoices into Skyward Finance, it would be nice to be able to change the Check Format at any point during the Invoice Entry process. The way it's set up now, the option to change Check Layout grays out and becomes unavailable after the Invoice Amount is entered.

Paying an employee without a contract
Would there be a way to have an exception show up when you are paying an employee without a contract? For instance having a teacher contract. The teacher has termed but the factor is not taken out so they are pulled into payroll. Paid an employee 4 extra times before she said anything. I removed it from payroll but forgot to take out the factor. This would help with that problem. Expected outcome would be that the employee with the exception should/would not get a paycheck. Being able to choose the type of contract would be helpful. CSC CSC10 C12…

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…

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.

Read Receipts for Message Center
The ability to be able to see read receipts for messages that have been sent out in Educator access plus and under Student Management. This would assist staff in knowing what parents and/or students are reading their messages. This would also assist in documentation when dealing with issues with a student. Implement anywhere emails are sent out. Educator Access Plus under message center and emailing of progress reports. 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…
