We want the ability to auto approve the Primary ma
Auto approving address in employee access. You will not be able to use the auto approve option for the reason below:
When an employee changes their address they enter a new street direction city zip. If the employee chooses a street city or zip that is not entered in your system already Skyward doesn't have a data table to pull this information from. Remember when you enter an address in profile there is a table that auto fills with the street info. If you are entering a street that has never been entered before you have to add that street…

Edit the default flag on Employee Assignment
In discussing an issue in automating Active Directory record creation from Skyward the problem of staff assigned to multiple schools was identified. As Active Directory should only have a single record for a user a way to select the correct record of the multiple assignments that a staff member user could have in a year is needed. One suggestion was to make the current HPMASN-ASSIGNMENTS.HPMASN-PRIMARY-X field accessible in the UI so Personnel could make this determination of the primary 'home' assignment in these cases. The SIF agent could then pick this up for use in creating a single active directory…

Please make the font on reports easier to read
I have had numerous requests from our users to change the font on budgetary data mining reports so that it is easier to read. The size doesn't seem to be the issue it just needs to be bolder.
57 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve researching implementing this enhancement and have determined we will not pursue it at this time.
There are several limitations to updating the font so that it is bolder. The biggest impact is that by making the font bolder it will shift the font and take up more room. Every report in the system would need to be reviewed and most likely updated as data would get pushed off the report rendering them unusable.
Thank you,

Preferred Vendor Management
Some districts have special pricing agreements with particular vendors making using those vendors the fiscally responsible choice when entering a requisition; however there are legitimate situations where a user may need to use a non-preferred vendor (i.e. The preferred vendor doesn't have a specific item). Currently there is not systematic way to help users know which vendors to use nor a way to handle requisitions where users needed to use a non-preferred vendor instead of a preferred vendor.
1) There would be a new vendor code under WF\VE\PS\CO called Vendor Types where districts could define vendor types like "Office Supplies"…

Mass selecting recurring entries to create invoice
It would be great if we could mass select recurring entries for creating invoices for payment. Having to select each one at a time is much more time consuming than if we could select several at a time from the list.
50 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve reviewed it and will not be pursing this development in the near future. While we see the value of this request it would require a lot of development time and it doesn’t align with our current road map.

Need ACA hours for docked day to equal hours workd
Need to have ACA hours for a docked day to equal daily hours worked in Employee Management. Currently the docked hours for ACA default to 8 and this is not correct in most cases.
Dock pay would automatically deduct the correct number of ACA hours when used.
Additional clarification from customer:We currently pull ACA hours from Employee Management. When processing a
payroll and an employee has dock pay it pulls up the hours associated with
the calendar for the employee. I would like the ACA hours to pull from the
hours per day on Employee Management. This way the…49 votesThank you for submitting this request and voting on it. We’ve had our experts run a few test at Skyward and we believe the system is working as intended as long as the set up is correct. Please review these steps & try this instead:
1) When running the Unpaid Time Off Import (Create Dock Pay) utility in Payroll Worksheets the ACA Hours are automatically created.
2) The hours are negative – to indicate taking ACA hours away from the total ACA hours for the payroll
3) The number of hours recorded is based on the Time Off Code Setup – Hours per Day
4) The ACA hours are written directly from the Unpaid Import. They are not derived from the ACA Import button in Payroll Select
5) Primary Pay’s ACA hours is pulled from the ACA Import in Select
6) The Import runs out to the web. It is…

Staff assignment screen - View Add on button
1) When you view a staff assignment we need a View button on the Add-on screen that will open up the Add-on maintenance window. Currently there is no View button available. In order to view the information we have to go through Edit Staff Assignment and then Edit the Add-ons.
2) On the Add-on screen the Amount we see is the Calculated/Add-on amount - a prorated amount based on Calculated FTE. When we make assignment changes we need to be able to see the actual add-on salary amount. If one were to inadvertently use this value on a new assignment…

Need to manually enter Barcode and Proximity Value
We should be able to manually enter Barcodes and Proximity values for our TrueTime users in Employees in TrueTime. Employees has their ID badges before employees are set up in TrueTime we need to manually enter these values verses hunting the employees down and then setting up their badges at readers.
This will be a huge time-saver for our employees and those managers that set up the badges.54 votesThank you for submitting this idea, voting on it and in some instances providing more feedback.

District needs widgets to be forced, not suggested
Widgets need to be forced upon users not merely suggested. This functionality used to be in Skyward but was subsequently removed.
Included in this use selection parameters to identify who to assign the widget to.
83 votesThank you for this idea request and participating in voting.
We suggest using the “Force Widget Suggestions” This process will re-suggest the widget to all users that are currently not using the widget.
While this option will not force widgets on users, there are technical difficulties that would delay this enhancement. We are taking this request into consideration and working on a Qmlativ solution. At this time we will no longer be considering this enhancement for SMS 2.0.

Update PSERS reporting for Sabbatical leave
Need Skyward to update PSERS state reporting correctly for Sabbatical leave.
We were given a solution in SKYWARD to create correction contributions but not a way (except with a manual change in state reporting) to report the wages as described below.
From PSERS ManualDuring the period of the leave the member must be paid 50% or more of their contracted salary. The
employer reports the actual amount paid to the member as well as the unpaid portion (totaling 100% of
contracted salary) each month. Members are considered to be in regular daily attendance during the
period of the leave…
44 votesThank you for submitting this request to the Ideas Portal. In reviewing this request with our State Reporting and Compliance Department, while our current process involves a small portion for manual verification, we are compliant with the PSERS reporting manual specifications.

This report sorting rules should be able to be mod
This reports is setup to sort by social security number which is sometimes the way I like to see it but it would be helpful to also have the option to sort it by vendor name as well.
Having different options on sorting will allow users to be more efficient.

Cascading groups by employee type
Cascading groups would solve a lot of problems for us if we could have a selection parameters filer to select by employee type. Our benefits are different for Admin, Teachers and Classified. But they all share similarities. Some have PTO, SICK and VAC. Some have PTO and SICK and others have PER, SICK and some even PER, SICK and VAC. There is no way to distinguish and that makes the module useless to us.

Add a Time Off Request & Skycoder
Allow HR Custom Forms to be Skycoded onto Time Off Requests. Currently only "STUDENT CUSTOM FORMS" can be Skycoded onto an HR Employee Access - Time Off request. I was told "this is how it is programmed and to submit a Product Idea" to which I replied "this seems more like a programming error -- why would a STUDENT CUSTOM FORM be placed on an HR screen"? Thank you
0 votesWe'd like to understand this request better. What are you trying to accomplish with adding an HR Custom Form to Time Off Requests via Skycoder?
An HR Customer Form is typically used to add extra fields for an Employee and we'd understand the usefulness on the Employee Edit Screens.
By adding extra fields to the time off request are you expecting to edit the same information for that employee for every time off request? Is it informational only?
More details for how you'd expect this to work and what you're expecting to happen will help us understand this request.
Thank you!

TRS REP25 Records Clone Button
When I need to make the same correction for several months it would be nice to have a clone button so all the information does not have to be manually entered. It would be nice just to change the reporting month to submit the record.0 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We've passed it on to our Texas State Reporting & Compliance department to review.

Add contract override to employee management
In Florida for surveys you are required to have a matrix and have employees on the matrix, however if you give a raise that is not based on the matrix or performance pay you cannot possibly have a matrix that has 500 or more different amounts on it. We need to be able to place employees on a matrix, but then have a contract override amount that pays them with their raise amount.
