  1. 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…

  2. 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.

    Thank you for submitting this idea, voting on it and in some instances providing more feedback. We spent time researching this request and working with our Professional Services department for a viable solution.

    At this time, we are not considering it for development. This request requires some heavy technical enhancements that do not line up with our current road map.

    Thank you,

  3. 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.

    Thank 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.

    Thank you!

  4. Time Off decimal entry restrict to .00 or .50

    We would like to restrict the time off entry to be entered in decimal increments of whole decimal(.00) or half decimal (.50)increments. We no longer allow any other option of decimal incremens.

  5. 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 Manual

    During 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…

  6. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

    We'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!

  12. TRS RP25 records clone button

    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.

  13. 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.
