We use task manager to Reappointment our PC and AC Contract teachers and it would be helpful to be able to show the field on the custom form to make sure we do not accidently issue a Reappointment for a PS Contract teacher. See attachments for more information.

  3. Enable API v6.1/Data Std v4

    I'm requesting that Skyward enable API v6.1/Data Standard v4 for the SMS Skyward HR/Finance sends that Skyward is certified for by Ed-Fi for Florida. https://techdocs.ed-fi.org/display/EDFICERT/Registry+of+Ed-Fi+Certified+Products indicates that API v6.1/Data Standard v4 is available to Texas and Wisconsin and other states upon request. This request would especially be helpful to Florida districts using FLCode.

  4. Utility to remove Old WIP status Expense Reimbursement requests

    Clean up utility to remove WIP status expense reimbursement requests for former employees or for prior years. When you use the "Print WIP Report" you have a list of outstanding requests from all years and termed employees.

  6. Unpaid Hours on Timesheet

    Would like the total scheduled hours to appear on timesheet. A subtotal for paid hours worked, paid leave hours to total what is paid on the paycheck and also a subtotal of unpaid hours. The supervisors could then better track attendance. Unpaid hours are tracked in timeoff. Wish they could put the totals of unpaid hours on the timesheet instead of showing up as "0".

  7. remove the notification in task manager that says the record will not be displayed because of the filter settings

    When you open the entire task manager, not just from our widget screen and you have a filter on, when you close it a pop up come up about 3 seconds later that says "the record you are working on cannot be displayed due to the filters you are working with". Could you please set up the option to not view those after each one. Once should be enough. When you are trying to close out 100 or so tasks at a time it is very time consuming to wait for the notification to click ok. Another beautiful option would…

  8. Customer Access Support Tickets Marked as "Critical"

    When we are putting in a customer support ticket to Skyward, there is a "critical" checkbox that can be selected. Through research, we have discovered that these "critical" tickets go to a dispatcher. That dispatcher then identifies whether the need is actually "critical" or not. I understand the need to process tickets like this because, let's be honest, everybody things that all of their own issues are critical OR they have put things off to the last minute to handle. However, if this dispatcher does NOT read the entire message or fully understand what is happening then they might miss…

  9. Font Type

    In Skyward > Preferences > User Preferences it would be LOVELY to be able to select a different font that users could change depending on their needs. I know that there are some font options but NOT ENOUGH we want to be able to have different styles and sizes. As I have said in other customized suggestions, we have little joy in our lives as office workers and these tiny adjustments can make our lives so much easier and can be the reason that we come to work every morning.
    Thank you!

  10. Sharing Selection Parameters in True Time Utilities

    When you are in True Time > Setup > Utilities > Time Sheets Mass Deny I KNOW that you can share your selection parameters with other users. HOWEVER, when another user tries to use a selection parameter that I have set they are UNABLE to revise the times that the denial is for. Why have a share button if they can't edit all the fields?

  11. color

    This is a silly, preference idea but it would just be FABULOUS to be able to have some more color selections in the Skyward > Preferences > User Preferences > Theme Color. Maybe a yellow, orange, teal, or even a customizable color where you could have any color in the world. I only ask as we are just office workers and have to get our joys wherever possible.
    Thank you!

  12. Be able to add a ship to name without adding a vendor

    I previously had the ability to add a ship to name without setting up a new vendor. I need to be able to ship to our Ag Barn, but that isn't a vendor. Please put a button back in the requisition/PO group set up where you can add a ship to name without creating a vendor.

  13. allow reimbursement expense code for mileage max amount to be set to the configured 4 decimal places

    the reimbursement expense code setup for mileage does not allow the max amount to be set to the configured 4 decimal places. I can set the default amount per IRS value but not the max.

    If the federal rate was .675 per mile, I want to set the max rate as .675. Sometimes the fed changes the rate mid year so keeping the max rate as the highest for the year keeps the entry problems down. Currently the default amount is .675 and the max can only be set as .67 or .68 even though entry amount is set to…

  14. Data Mining Reports - Employee Numbers by DATE

    I need to be able to run a report showing the total number of active employees by a specific date or year. The date field is something that needs to be added to data mining. We need to report the number of employees for a specific date or year frequently.

  15. General Inputs Accounting Register report does not display Sub Fund dimension

    The Accounting Register Report from General Inputs (3glupdrl.p) does not display the 10th dimension of the Washington account code, known as Sub Fund. However, the Accounting Register from History – General Inputs report (3glupd06.p) displays the Sub Fund dimension properly.

  16. Need a way to see denied time off requests from Human Resources - Employee

    When viewing time off transactions for an employee, you can see the approved time, but not the denied time. The only way to see this is to run a report. It would be nice to have an option to see the denied time off, even if it's included as a filter on the Unapproved tab.

  18. Enable the COMMENTS field on the PERSONNEL screen to be viewed in PAC

    We need to be able to see the Comments field on Personnel in PAC. Our Payroll and Beneefits department work primarily from PAC alone, and they cannot see that field, which shows notes for an employee who has resigned, retired, or been rehired multiple times. When checking benefit and employment information, it is very time consuming to change back and forth. Additionally, it would be great to be able to pull this field in PAC data mining reports.

  19. Ability to add vertical line in Data Mining reports.

    End users would appreciate the ability to include/add a vertical line at various points in our data mining reports to help the viewers more easily segregate data output, i.e. to provide a separator between various fiscal years, etc.

  20. Enhance Invoice Approvals

    If an invoice has been approved but the amount is later changed, the invoice reverts from Batch to Approval Pending. However, if the vendor is changed the invoice stays in Batch. Changes to invoice amounts, vendor and possibly account coding should all require re-approval.
