  1. Add district option to hide Credit Card number from Credit Card Trans Rpt

    Currently there is a option on the Credit Card Transaction Report screen to show the card number as a Full Number, Last Four Digits or Do Not Display. We'd like a district option to remove the choice of displaying the Full Number on the Credit Card Transaction Report. We instruct staff, with access to this, to choose either "last four digits" or "do not display", but they can select the "full number" option. To add a layer of security we would like to remove this option for all users in our district. WP\AP\CC\RE\CT

  2. Default Description or Account code for specific vendors in purchase order

    It would be nice if we could have a default description or account code given for certain vendors in the PO process. For example, some vendors require certain information that if we automatically included, the end user would not have to enter it in each time or enter it incorrectly. Also, if a vendor is specific to an account code, then it would default to a certain code.

  3. allow for sorts and filters in unapproved absences

    Please create sort options that can be saved in reports for unapproved absences. To be able to sort by date, approver etc would be very helpful and approve efficiency by not having to drop all down to excel and then sort.

  4. Security Restrictions for Employee management

    Users with access to employee management have access to all employee information, even those that the user may have no responsibility for. This makes confidential employee information available to those who do not need it.

    In our organization, it is critical that this type of information availability be limited. We could do so either by way of either building restrictions or PO/Requisition Groups.

  6. Add ability to save parameters in Web reporting

    Please add the ability to save parameters in Web Data mining and reporting. Very frustrating to have to continually have to go back and recreate them each time.

  7. mass change for employee type

    Mass change employee types and in-activate via processing list. Rather than have to manually change 100+ terms at the end of a school year it would be helpful to select employees based on term dates that have been entered and change from active to inactive and to change the employee type to an XTCH etc.

  8. Add ability to search for journal entries and cash receipts by keyword

    When I want to search for an old journal entry or cash receipts, to view or clone it, you can only search by date posted. It would be nice if you could search by keyword in the description of journal entry or cash receipt.

  9. Detailed Reports by GLN

    In the past, I have always manually reclassed my liablities from GLN 206 to GLN 210 (due to other districts), 212 (due to other govn) and 220 (contracts payable). This year, I thought I would set the system up to book automatically to the correct GLN's. I was able to successfully do so, but then for the life of me, could not get a report to show the detail I booked to each liability account. I was on the phone with support for one full hour to no avail. I now have to manually go back through the list to…

  12. Select Check Column Sorting - WF\AP\CR\CR

    Sorry for the repost but, PR 4045393 did not address this issue as the screen is still not sortable. Need the ability to sort by columns that was removed in Addendum 2 (02/25/2019) restored. If there is an issue with maintaining the marks on selected checks you fix the issue instead of removing a function that brings the issue to light. We are talking about the screen "Select Checks to Apply Statement Date" where you complete the checkbox to apply the date to the selected checks.

  13. Wire Payment Check Number

    Need check number for wire payments assigned during the check register process instead of invoice created. Invoices in batch status currently have check numbers when payment method is wire. This is causing check numbers to be out of sequence when including the check date. Wire payments created on the first and paid on the last day have check numbers before wire payments entered and paid on the 15th.

  14. All changes need to be marked red

    When running the plan calendar cycle, system does not report values in red correctly. It does not recognize changing 08/01/2018 to 08/01/2019 as a changed marked in red. Appears that changes are only marked if the month and/or the day are different while ignoring the difference in year.

  15. Assignment hourly rate

    Assignment payroll information does not use the same logic to calculate the hourly rate as it does when calculating the daily rate when you have the condition of a mixture of matrix types. Daily rate includes the base salary information and all add-on records in the calculation. Hourly rate includes only the base salary amounts. Would seem logical that if daily can be calculated with a mixed matrix type the hourly could also be done.

  17. Ability to print batch reports in Data Mining

    When I run batch reports in data mining, I used to be able to print all in order of report in the batch. Now I have to open each one individually and print one at a time. We used to print these all as one big batch in PAC, but during some upgrade we lost that functionality. Now in PAC or web, we have to open each one individually and then print.

  18. Remove the link to "Forgot your Login/Password?" link on rwetru09.html (True Time) login page.

    Would it be possible to have the ability to remove the link to "Forgot your Login/Password?" link on rwetru09.html (True Time) login page and keep the link on the regular Skyward login page? Since we are using Access Code Only for login to True Time, the forgot login is a bit confusing for some users.

  19. Password Hidden/Encrypted

    As normal security protocol, ALL passwords used anywhere in the system should be hidden as masked fields and stored as encrypted values in the database.

  20. Add Active Flag to All Codes

    As districts grow and change many times old codes are no longer relevant. From a system stand point, you really never should delete codes that have been used anywhere but leaving them in the system means they show up and can be selected by users even if the district decides they don't want to use the code any longer. I'd like to see on all codes in the system an Active checkbox. When the Active flag is unchecked then the code could no longer be selected from drop-downs in the system. This would prevent improper use of codes the district…
