  1. Mass Inactivate Employees Utility (WH\EP\PS\UT\MI)

    We move our inactive staff to a building location named "Inactive Employees". It would be helpful to have a feature that would mass change the building locations and check locations.

  2. Ability to login as applicant

    In Employee Administration/Applications screen, it would be helpful to be able to login as an applicant to walk them through the application process. This would allow me to view the actual screen the applicant it on so that I can resolve the issue.

    It could be set up similar to the Skyward Access/Employee Access in SMS.

  3. Ability to have URL links in FastTrack benefits section

    I would like to be able to have an active link in the benefits maintenance screen in FastTrack/Position Processing/Codes/Benefits.

    This would enable applicants to see the benefit package for insurances,links to leave allocations, and/or employee handbooks.

  4. I-94

    For the enrollment and registration process, we need a way to gather the I-94 number from parents instead of creating another custom form. This question can be as simple as 'Do you or your student have an I-94' textbox or something close to that? It cannot be a mandatory field. Thanks!

  5. Quick Void - Not show Regular Check in Skyward Web

    If we do a quick void on a payroll check, it would be nice that the "regular" check that was voided would not show in Skyward Web for employees to see. I understand showing the Voids, but I think that is more confusing for employees.

  8. Add 1095C to Employee Access

    "Crandall ISD has the opportunity to have our 1095-C Forms loaded into our Payroll Portal in Skyward.

    We need to know:

    Is that an option?
    If so is there a charge to load the forms?
    What is the correct nomenclature/form type for loading?

    Our ACA vendor has agreed to either provide the Forms in individual PDF format to be loaded into each employee's portal (or whatever it is called Angela) OR can provide a CSV with all EE data for loading into Skyward to generate the 1095-C Forms.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
