  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!

  3. preferred

    Custom Form & Data Mining: Field selection (Field on Report) > Add/Delete Fields: Add a scroll bar to Custom Profile box <fourth box from left> so we can see entire form name. We have numerous forms with the same first 25 letters (for example) so we aren't able to quickly identify which form we need.

  4. add change history to data mining

    Data mining in HR really needs the option to pull employee change history. We are trying to find a way to know when employees change their name, move to another department and terminate. Running a data mining with this information as a scheduled task would greatly assist with this.

  5. TO Deletions

    Presently, the ability for staff to delete TO requests is either yes or no.
    It would be extremely helpful if it would be possible to allow deletions up to a certain point like 12-24 prior to the scheduled TO. There are other systems out there that are able to do this, so I am hoping others in this group may find value in this type of enhancement.

  6. Extending character limit for Form Name within Online Forms

    Extending character limit for Online Form Name or use the Description field. Employees do not know what the abbreviations mean that are used due to the character limit.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    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?


    This idea will remain open for the Skyward Community to continue voting on and sharing their thoughts.


    Thank you!

  10. "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.

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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).

  20. 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?
