  1. Add a Filter and/or Quick Filter option to the Pseudo Approval area

    Please add the option to create Filters and/or Quick Filters on the Employee Pseudo Approval screen. We sometimes need to search for information among the "completed" records and the only viable option is to drop it to Excel and then search. It would save time and improve efficiencies to have a typical Filter option available. The current Filter Option button just toggles between hiding the completed or waiting for approval records. It doesn't help locate groups of records on this table view.

  2. Custom Standards-Based Report Card

    Custom Standards-Based Report Card We need to have the ability to display the students Add On Bonus GPA. We can add the Term GPA as a Skyward field but that is not accurate for our high flying students to display the bonis GPA.

    Custom report cards should allow to select custom fields.

  4. Fix for Certification Import Utility - Texas

    Is there a plan to fix the Certification Import Utility for Texas? If not, we would like a feature that allows us to keep any records that have the Scope Description of "Manually Entered". We are having to do a lot of tedious, manual edits to our file to prevent the data loss of these records. It would speed up our process and ensure the data is cleaner if we had the option to ignore manually entered certifications during imports.

  5. pseudo approval

    Create a notification to the approver when an employee requests an address change/direct deposit change or any change that requires a pseudo approval. This way we don't need to go in daily and check pseudo approvals for any new submissions.

  6. Supervisors Able to Delete Employees' Time Off Transactions

    Right now supervisors cannot delete their employees' time off transactions (or edit them until approved). Skyward customer access suggests the employee or supervisor to put in a negative transaction instead of editing/deleting the original. We don't want to do this - that's messy and it's difficult enough to get our staff to input leave transactions let alone enter a negative leave transaction.

  7. Allocated Leave Column

    Under Human Resources > Employee Profile > Time Off > Setup the allocation column shows the number of hours allocated the entire time that that employee has been in Skyward. It would be AWESOME if we could adjust this to be the beginning of the fiscal year.

  8. Merge Duplicate Vendors

    It would be helpful if there was a way to merge vendors that are duplicate entries. Over the years we have had duplicate vendors added, i.e., Region 10, Region X, and ESC 10. These separate vendors will always be in the system because they were all used at some point. If we could merge vendor profiles we could greatly reduce our database and make finding the correct vendors a lot easier.

  9. Check box to indicate that an employee is a rehired annuitant for Wisconsin WRS.

    I would love to have a check box somewhere that indicates an employee is a rehired annuitant for WRS. If it was able to be picked as a field in data mining it might eliminate the need for a separate spreadsheet for tracking rehired annuitants.

  10. Ability to place term dates/reasons in Mass Deactivate Option

    Since the mass deactivate option was released, it allows a user to mass remove resigning employees from security groups. I'd like to see this have some more options. I'd also like to have the ability to add term dates and term reasons via the mass deactivate feature. This would be of a tremendous help when teachers all have a last day of 8/31, with the reason "resigned." It would allow us to save time as we would not have to touch every employee that has resigned. We could mass deactivate them in Employee Profile.

  11. View PO liquidation status on Invoice Entry screen

    In the Invoice Entry - Batch view, it would be nice to see the purchase order liquidation status. The only way I know to see whether Partially Received or Fully Received is selected is by opening each invoice and clicking Edit Master. Or, by running an Invoice Listing Report and reviewing the status of each PO. Both options are time consuming when we could quickly check the Batch screen for any potential liquidation errors.

  13. It would be really great if most screens had filters so the user can adjust, organize, hide and resize columns etc to our needs.

    It would be a lot more time efficient without having to do all the scrolling to get to a last column when a lot of the middle columns are not needed for each report, etc.

  14. Popup box and lock including the name - showing someone is in the file you are accessing.

    Have a popup display when another user is in someone's application or employee profile including who they are locking the file until the person has exited the file. This would be beneficial for both FastTrack and EM.

  16. Add PO to Invoice Import

    The requisition/purchase order function is an important cost/classification control process that is used extensively by many customers. The ability to import invoices, with ties to PO’s seems a natural extension of this process and could save customers many hours of manual input. Most other accounting software systems do this, so we believe this is a reasonable enhancement to request.

  19. True Time Edits

    Currently True Time has widgets for Timesheets Waiting My Approval and Time Off Waiting My Approval. Could you add a widget for True Time Edits or Timesheets Edits Waiting My Approval. Employees can add an Edit Note, but Approvers have to go and find the requests rather than being notified. We would like an email notification to go to Approver when an Edit is requested and then also a widget so they can see Edit requests on their Home Page.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    1. Just for clarification, whenever a user makes an edit to a timesheet note, you would want the approvers to get an email notification?

    a. With this, would this only be if they edited after submission of the timesheet?


    2. The 2nd portion you are looking for a similar widget to the time off approvals widget?


    Thank you for your additional input, the idea will remain open for continued voting by the Skyward community.
