  1. 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.

    Thank you for submitting this idea.


    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,

  2. 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.

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


    There is one thing to consider: If EmployeeID is added to Data Mining, it would become available in Employee Access Data Mining. For Organizational Charts employees could potential access EmployeeID where previously it was not available.

  3. Reset All in Account Management

    The ability to "Reset All" filters in the accounts screens instead of resetting each individually. I have to scroll back and forth to make sure there are no other items with a filter on when I want to do a new search.

  4. Under SBAA it would be nice to be able to print a group of check detail reports individually

    Currently I can print a report under check request report. But it prints all of the checks in the range on one sheet. It would be SO HELPFUL if it gave us the option to print each check report separately rather than as a group

  5. Requisition/Purchase Order comparison

    We need a report to compare the prior year's purchase order totals by group to the current year's requisition totals by by group. For example, you can see that 1st grade spent $1,200 this year and then you can see that they have requisitioned $1,300 for next year. This would greatly help to be able to compare the information for reasonableness from year to year. It would be ideal for the information to be available to the approvers in the requisition approval screen. Attached are excel versions of a report that I created

  6. Utility to mass assign approvers to PO groups

    A utility to mass assign approvers would be awesome. There is currently a utility to mass reassign approval groups to another person but no utility to mass add a new approver to a selection list of groups. Need the option to select the level and then set that same level of approval to all groups selected in a list.

  7. 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.

    We aware that we can inactivate accounts one at a time but this can be very time consuming not…

  8. Last Date Modified on Picture Import Utilities

    Update the picture import utilities for both Student and Employee to look at the last date modified on the picture file and give the option to only import pictures that have been modified in the last “X” number of days. As part of the integration with IDImage we schedule this importer to run multiple times a day and every time it runs it reimports all pictures. We only need it to import pictures that have been recently updated.

  9. 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.

  10. View Time off for same department employees and supervisors

    Supervisor wants everyone in the department to be able to see time off for everyone in the department at any level, but not to be able to see how they are using their time off. Another words, he want employees to be able to see the name of the other employees taking off, but not if they were NCD, sick, etc. This would be a great help to the department, because employees never know when supervisors are going to be off.

  11. Expand Pay Record Import to include Benefits/Deductions for Existing Pay plus Funding Allocation for the New Assignment

    Within Human Resources > Payroll > Assignment Export/Payroll Import (WH\PA\AE), On the export/import screen there are 2 options for importing pay records. There is an issue when exporting/importing multiple assignments with the same pay code during the same fiscal year. The first option imports the correct funding but drops most of the benefits and deductions. The second option imports the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing pay records, but prorates the funding allocations from both assignments and creates split funding. I would like to request a combination of the two:

    Import the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing…

  12. Create a Button that says "Returned For Corrections" in addition to the deny button

    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.

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea. 


    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.

  13. pseudo approval

    When looking at historical pseudo approvals , we would be nice to know if the employee requested for a set amount or a percentage. We can see that they requested a deduction amount but we can't confirm if they wanted a set amount or a percentage withheld. (checking to see if we set it up correctly) Just a letter like "P" for percentage next to the word deduction - would be helpful.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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?
