  1. "Participates in Sick Bank" Field

    We have a sick bank and many employees participate. We would like the "particpates in sick bank" field under the Time Off category to be veiweable by employees in their employee portal. So when they log into Employee Accesss and Time Off, they should see if they are a member or not. This would save us a lot of time and provide info to employees so they don't have to ask us to look up their status and wait for us to reply.

  2. Add a report for denied invoice approval

    We want to be able to run a report for denied invoices that also includes the reason for the denial. We use the Name/Note field that is under Action History under the Approval History of an invoice. Can this option be added?

  3. commodity code

    Would it be possible for the commodity code to inform us once it reaches a set threshold? In our case, we would set it at $49,999.99. We want to continue to use the code, in the event we have a contract referenced for that purchase. Maybe a message could pop up that informs the requisitioner "The commodity code has reached the maximum threshold and a contract must be referenced on the PO to use this code" Otherwise select another code that matches the purchase.

  4. Add an inactive box on paycodes

    Could you add an inactive box on paycodes so they do not appear in other areas of the software? I have many codes in history that are no longer being used and I don't want staff to use them and I don't want to see them in other areas of the software. I would like to still be able to run a report with the option to select inactive paycodes if needed.

  5. Option to translate the text.

    A button for staff to translate the text to their primary language would be helpful. At least in the True Time modul. Our workplace is diverse and having this feature would be beneficial to all of our staff.

  6. Teacher Incentive Allotment Designation (TEXAS)

    Would it be possible to include a field for the Employee Profile who qualifies for the Teacher Incentive Allotment Designation that includes all 3 indicators (i.e. Recognized, Exemplary and Master)? Additionally START and END date fields for the same TIA designation.

    Right now there's only a field that has codes (01, 02, 03 and 04), but no way to find out what designation the teacher could have.

  7. Insurance Tracking: Employee's info (DOB, Gender, SSN, and address) added to OE print form after changes made

    First of all, much appreciation to the powers at Skyward for the enhanced detail that is provided on the Open Enrollment print form that is generated after an employee makes changes! It is SOOOO helpful to have the gender AND the social security numbers print on the report. Now, the only other WISH I would have is that the Employee's information is also on the report (DOB, Gender, SSN, even address would be awesome).

  9. Multiple PO's/Invoices on Check

    We really need to be able to pull in several PO's/Invoices on a check. If not, we are printing a check for each invoice! That gets expensive.

  11. Timesheets and pay code approvers

    When submitting timesheets and the employee has multiple approvers, the employee needs to select an approver for all Pay codes that are associated with the employee. Could the program be updated so that the employee only needs to choose an approver for the pay codes that are associated with that timesheet?

  12. Time Off Import

    It would be beneficial if there was a way to delete errors/warnings and run what will import. I am trying to capture any days that was missed in the initial import from a Third Party.

  13. Insurance Tracking: a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another.

    We'd like to request a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another. (Premiums collected to date on the old plan to the new plan history). You can only do it person by person.

  14. Insurance Tracking: Ability to clone dependents into new plan (can clone existing members, but not dependents now)

    We recently built a new plan for our dental coverage based on changes that will be coming down the pike. I cloned all existing members from the old plan set up to the new plan set up. That was easy. What doesn't happen, however, is the dependents that were on the prior plan don't also move to the new plan with the cloned employees. Therefore, I had to go into each employee's insurance tracking record and re-clone their dependents into the new plan. It took a lot of time.

  15. Add Payor as option on Check Reconciliation Format

    Add Payor as option on Check Reconciliation format. This would allow customer to review to determine if there is possibly a fraudulent check on the file produced by the bank. This field should show as well as the Payor currently in Skyward to confirm that they are the same before continuing with the import.

  16. Ability to make the Time Sheet Approve/Deny notes field required

    When a supervisor is approving Time Sheets, we would like the ability to make the Notes field for approval or denial reasons required. This would be a toggle for the district to choose if they require the supervisor to enter some sort of note or not.

  17. Add Commodity Code as Budgetary Data Mining field.

    Add COMMODITY CODE field to Budgetary Data Mining.

    More and more districts are using Commodity Codes but there is only 1 report that includes Commodity Codes but it does not include account distribution information.

    Add Commodity Code so that users can include on their BDM reports.

  18. Time Off Attendance Report for Date Range Defined.

    Add an "Attendance" Report to Time Off. In this report it would have a designated date range, and the district must choose the Time Off codes to be included with calculating the attendance.

    The goal would be to find all employees how had NO USED DAYS for the codes selected during the date range. If they have not used a day then they were in attendance.

  19. Online Forms - setting option for Skyward notification to form author that due date is coming up

    We would like to have the option within the Online Forms Master to display a reminder to the author/creator of the form, that the 'Form Must Be Completed By' date is upcoming. Ideally this reminder would show when the author/creator logs into Skyward and the current days date is either 48 or 72 hours out from the Form completion date.

  20. Org Chart Supervisors by Pay Code
