  1. Electronic Onboard Module

    We're looking for electronic payroll and HR docs and wondering if Skyward will in the future provide this option to purchase. Fast Track only would help with demographic information and assingnment. We're looking for payroll information like their electronic I9, W4, etc. I overheard that it may be an option with Qmlativ. We already use Task Manager for lots of other data but we're looking for something more robust and interactive. We don't want to add another system.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    We are looking for more input from our users on this topic.


    1. How does this affect your day to day duties with using an onboarding module?


    2. What system/process do you currently use to work with gathering this payroll information?  Do you utilize something like Custom Forms, FastTrack?


    3. What features/processes are you looking for with this onboarding module (ie. do employees upload the documentation, review/approval process, profile integration, etc...)


    This idea will remain open for further exploration and input from the Skyward Community.


    Thank you!

  2. Default setting in Position Control Maintenance to not update assignments

    We would like to see a default the setting when changing FTE in Position Control to be “Do NOT update any information on the Assignments”.

    When changing # POS in Position Control (WH\AD\EM\PC) a screen appears with "assignment Processing Options".

    We are wanting the system to default the setting to be “Do NOT update any information on the Assignments” so that there is less chance of making an errors to the current assignments.

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea. We have reviewed it and would like to see more support from the Skyward user community.


    There are a few questions which we would like a better understanding on with this product idea:


    1.  Would a user preferences area be helpful so the user can decide how they want the option defaulted on how to update assignments?

    2. Are you only looking for when FTE is changed or when any area on the position control is changed?


    This Idea will remain open for the Skyward user community to show support by voting and commenting on it with additional use cases.


    Thank you!

  3. 'Unselect All' is needed in Clone/Replace Securities utility

    When cloning/replacing securities, an 'Unselect All' option is needed in the Budgetary Data Mining area. The default is to have every BDM report selected. Some employees have hundreds of BDM reports, and each one has to be unselected if they aren't wanted to be cloned.

  4. 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.

  5. Modify screens in SBAA and Purchasing

    It would be great if we could modify our screens to better fit our needs. LIke deleting rows that aren't fitting our needs. Currenlty in purchasing you can modify and find your modifications under CLONES but there is no ability in SBAA to do the same. And rather than cloning I just want to remove columns

    1. Could you expand more upon the use case for this requested change?

    a. What would be an instance where you only want to merge a specific prior fiscal year?

    2. Where would you expect to select the fiscal year? Would a single account be merged at a time or multiple?

  10. add a mass add of pay codes in Web

    If there cannot be a way to add a processing list to PAC to add pay codes based on a processing list please add a mass add/delete/edit option to Web.
    This is so important at the end of the year when we have 100+ people that we pay severance pay to. We could run a processing report based on term date and then give those people a severance pay code. We could then go to mass edit pay codes and change the amount for each of those people.

    We’d like to better understand this request. Can you tell us more about how the current selection parameters on the mass change utility is not meeting your needs in PaC? 


    Related question/ try this instead: Are you using Employee Management at your district? If so, you can run the Additional Pay Code Mass Add Utility to add the severance code to the Employee Assignments using a Processing List. Then, when you run the Assignment Export /Payroll Import, the Employee Pay Records will be updated. 


    Thank you,

  11. Longer Org Chart list of supervisors

  12. True Time

    I have input a Skyward ticket to see if setting the order of pay codes in the employee's True Time clock view was possible and was told there was not a way to do this and to submit as an idea.

    I want to be able to have pay codes listed in a specific order within the True Time time clock view. For some employees with multiple codes, it would decrease errors if we could list the codes in a way that makes sense. I am not a big believer in multiple codes, it increases the risk of error and…

  13. True Time Reports/History for Inactive Employees

    When a Classified Employee resigns, we deactivate them so they no longer have access to Employee Access. This includes removing them from org charts, deactivating pay records, time off, etc. However, there are times that we'd like to go back and see time sheets. At this point, we have to reactivate them and put them back on an org chart to be able to see anything in True Time. Is there any way to have them inactive, but be able to keep the time sheet history active and easy to get to?

  14. Truetime Supervisor Employee ID

    It would be beneficial to have the Supervisors employee ID as a mine-able field in Skyward because some systems outside of Skyward require supervisor ID rather than just the name in Truetime. I have to manually parse that information in an excel spreadsheet for 1400 employees then upload it into our systems.

  15. Email Direct Deposit

    Ability to email print deposit advices to employees who do not have employee access.

    Current process is we print them and mail to employee as they do not have employee access. Having the ability to email them would save paper and money on postage. Email address is already tied to their profile.

    For approving purchase orders, currently, the only options are to approve or deny. We would like the ability to select "Returned For Corrections" so the secretaries and principals don't get overwhelmed with constant denials.

    We recommend denial comments are very descriptive so secretaries and principles (or whomever is processing the denials) know what should be changed or if it can be submitted or if it is fully denied for other reason and cannot be resubmitted.

  18. Add Position Control information to data mining fields

    Because Position Control information could differ from the Assignment information, we would like to be able to add Position Control fields to either data mining, or run some type of other reporting option, to be able to review and compare the data fields between Position Control and Assignment.

    We would need to be able to run this report for both Employee Management and for Salary Negotiations, including vacancies.

  20. Mass Inactivate Utility for Chart of Accounts in web

    Having a utility that would allow us to specify via a parameter how many years we wish to search as well as each of the account dimensions (ie. project). The utility would then search account activity over those years and present a browse list of those that have '$0' expenditures or '$0' balances. After previewing the list (with option to check/uncheck those that we want to exclude from processing) we would commit to inactivating those accounts. Maybe add this to web.
