Add School Year to Requests Waiting for Approval View
I would like to request that a column be added to the Requests Waiting for Approval screen to show the School Year that the approval is for. The data is available on the request, but users need to drill into the details currently in order to see it. Having it on the main view screen would allow our users to be more efficient.

Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience
We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.

Please add ability to mass change position amount in Position Assignments Mass Change Utility.
We use an amount on our stipend positions because they are the same for everyone that gets that stipend. This year we raised the amounts for some stipends. I had to manually edit each position for each campus in order to update the amount on the position because on the position-mass change utility, there is no place to update the amount. I would like a field to be added to the position -mass change utility that will update the amount on positions selected.

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?

Pulling Reports on Historical Data when an Employee has changed Employee Type
I would like to see some enhancements on historical payroll data reports.
I want to pull a report showing the total payroll amounts by Employee Type and pay code type. HOWEVER, I want the report to show those that were in that employee type during the time frame of the payrolls.
For example, in 2020-21, Susie Smith was a paraprofessional. In 2021-2022, she became a teacher. I want to be able to pull a report for 2020-21 showing employees that were paras at the time. Right now, the system only pulls current employee types. So if I need to pull…2 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea.

Increase Size or Font of Check Numbers (especially in the "cents" position)
Our district has experienced an issue several times where the bank is misreading the "5" and "6" specifically in the cents position. We learned from Skyward support that we are not able to change the size or font on our end because it is hard coded into the system. Therefore, we are requesting that the font be modified somehow to make sure that there would be no issue for a bank to determine the numbers on the check.
2 votesThank you for submitting this idea.
We are currently working on several enhancements for Skyward users to customize and create their own AP Check and Payroll Checks.
This will be a Beta Option for some time while we continue to develop and test.
If you're interest in becoming a Beta tester please send me an Email.
Thank you,

Please make it available to clone a check request that is in History. This would be helpful for reoccurring monthly bills that need to be paid.

Total HOURS = wrs or worked hours
Employees would like a way/ to view track worked hours (mostly for WRS). HR/Payroll is able to see total WRS hours. HR/Payroll can use the retirement custom tab (retirement tab- retirement detail hours)to view total WRS/Worked hours and employee has had. Is this something that an employee would be able to see easily on their employee access portal?
I don't see in the employee access portal (skyward web), where employees has a total worked hours or total WRS hours listed for them to view. Our bus drivers have asked for this option - to help track WRS hours - since…

Please add a message after updating Purchase Orders
I would like to see a message after running a Batch to Open for Purchase Orders. Something that says "You have finished Updating your Batch to Open Purchase Orders". I am often interrupted during the process and not sure I have started it. So I run it again and of course get and error at that time.

Employee Access
Pseudo Approval: I have had employees ask if they would receive a system generated notification informing them as to the determination of their change request. I recommend to all employees to make direct deposit changes in Skyward, but once they are approved or denied they are not notified other than by me telling them. Could this be a process to which the employee would receive a system generated email upon approval or denial of the change request?

Ded/Ben Set Up = Single
Having a deduction and benefit code check type be set up as single. Currently having to manually make this edit each payroll. The current choices for set up are regular, wire, hold and blank. We also tried having the set up check type as blank and set the default check type to single on the vendor profile and the check type turned to H (hold). Just hoping to save a step or if it is accidentally forgotten to manually update.

multiple overlays in sub tracking configuration
In the Substitute Tracking Configuration, Skyward only allows for one default overlay in the account distribution. We have a need to have at least a second option similar to the account distribution overlay in employee managment>additional pay codes. Without this, we have to change every single sub when pulled in from absence management to change the project code since we already the overlay with the object code. This adds another hour each day to processing sub tracking. While I understand that we could have account codes in Absence Management, the number of codes we have are a lot and that…

Provide a way to capture SSI and Medicare exempt wages
When someone has a certain work visa, they are exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax on their wages. It would be nice to have Skyward keep track of these earnings via an exempt pay code. When we run the quarterly 941 this would reduce those wages and not include them in those earnings categories. Right now this has to be done manually which can create a chance for a error(s) when completing the 941.

Allow text messaging option in addition to email for alerts and updates.
Allow text messaging option in addition to email for alerts and updates. For example in Time Off, Fast Track; notification could be received via text to alert that a request has been submitted.
3 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea. We researched implementing Text Message within our system and determined the scope of development did not align with our Roadmap vision.
We do have Push Notifications for some areas in our Business Suite:
Time Off: Request Awaiting Approval, Request Approved, and Request Denied
True Time: Time Sheet Awaiting Approval, Time Sheet Denied
Finance: Requisitions Awaiting Approval, Check Requests Awaiting Approval, and Credit Card Transaction Awaiting Approval
To enable these Push Notifications please navigate to: Product Setup / System Administration / Push Notification Queue/ Configuration (PS\SA\NQ).
We will evaluate implementing Fast Track pus notification as part of researching this Product Idea.
Thank you!

Please consider an "Auto approval" option for E-commerce POs.
Being that Ecommerce POs go through the approval process, please consider providing an option to "auto approve" these orders so that someone isn't relied on to "push" them thru to the vendor manually. Thank you

Mass assign work schedules - ask for confirmation prior to update
When mass assigning work schedules in TT, when viewing the report after hitting run, ask the question "Are you sure you want to commit to changes?" This is asked all over the place when making changes in employee management.
3 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We'd like to see more support for this idea from the Skyward User Community prior to considering it for development.
This idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting.
In the meantime, we suggest clicking "Report" to preview the mass assignment changes in the report first, and then clicking "Run" to commit changes. There will be a pop-up once you hit "Run" that says "Are you sure you want to Mass Assign the following work schedule for MM/DD/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY to the selected employees?"
Thank you!
