  1. Mass delete records in maintain extracted TCRS data

    We have 300 employees with a Fringe benefit that can not be reported to TCRS (TN specific) and there is no option to mass delete these records in the maintain screen. I have to go one by one to delete each month I have to process the report.

  3. Alternate/Back Up Approvers for Time Off and Time Sheets

    It would be useful if there was an option within Time Off Overseer to allow an overseer to not only see a specific supervisor's employees' time off but also be able to approve/deny time off requests when a supervisor is out for reasons such as illness, vacation or personal emergencies. I would also like to see an Overseer option in True Time with this same option. For example School Principals are the supervisors for their respective buildings. It would be quite useful if their Assistant Principal could approve time off and time sheets when Principal is out.

  4. Security Group or System setting to allow use of Skyward Password for Employee Access users

    Use a Security Group or a System/authentication setting to allow use of Skyward Password for Employee Access users.

    We have many former staff who we would like to provide Employee Access to for one year after they leave. Current employees use their LDAP password and we do not want them to use a Skyward Password. Former Employees do not have an active LDAP account so they must use a Skyward Password.

    We have the "Enable Most Secure Authentication Method" option turned on and that is forcing LDAP on the former employees. We can override on an individual basis but would…

  5. Our phone extensions are 6 digits but Skyward only allows 5 digits to be entered. Our Administration is quite adamant that we need this.

    We need the phone extension field to be extended to 6 digits from the 5 digits it currently holds.

  6. Time Off Request by Range of Date

    Time Off Request by Range of Date does not allow an employee to include a weekend. The current error message reads that "none of the days in the date range are work days" which is misleading. Either make a change for the Request by Range to recognize and allow weekends or update the message to read "one or all of the days...".

  7. assignment import

    On a daily basis we in HR have to export individual assignments due to the addition of a stipend, a degree enhancement, adjust the FTE, to correct an error, etc. Having the capability to export an individual assignment from the “Emp Mgt Asn” screen would be greatly beneficial as a time saver. Using the Assignment Export/Payroll Import works great for exporting large groups of assignments but requires a good deal of clicks and con be time consuming just to export one assignment. I do not know if this would be possible but if so it would be greatly appreciated if…

  8. Account Filter in Payroll Reports

    All payroll reports should have the ability to filter by account number.

    For example our auditors asked us to get them a report that showed all employees charged to ESSER (project 165). They wanted this report to show the employee, check date, check number, and at least the gross amount.

    I couldn't do this because the reports that show those things were not able to be filtered by project number. The only one I found able to be filtered by project number was the "Account Distribution" report in Historical Payroll Reports. This report did not have the option of showing…

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    Could you expand on the use case for this?


    Would this be used for employees who work in multiple buildings and have different supervisors, so they would be submitting time off requests to different supervisors based on their building they are working at?


    Thank you for your input!

  11. Denial Note for Time off

    When a Time off request is denied it would be nice to note to employee WHY it was denied -- i.e. Sick time must be taken in one hour increments, so your request for 1.5 hours is denied.

    Having to enter an emergency contact for an employee into the skyward database is not necessary and time consuming. Could we just have a field for a name and number?

  14. Occupant Address Change Buttons

    Our users have said that the button choices on the Occupant Address Changes screen attached are not intuitive and have caused for changes to be made that should not be made. The question being asked is a yes/no question but the button choices are ok/cancel. Is there anyway to get the buttons changed to Yes to change and No to not change?

  15. map account

    Sometimes we need to understand/make sure that our accounts are flowing through (or set up in) the system correctly. Would there be a way to run a report that would show the "expense" account used and the following levels of "cash", "equity", etc whatever the series of accounts were that were affected by whatever particular account you enter?

  16. Expense Reimbursement Attachments

    When entering in an expense reimbursement it would be helpful if a warning showed up when attachments are not included before they can submit the reimbursement for certain expense codes. This would help employees understand they need to submit receipts for certain expenses.

  17. Allow user to view notes on a Task Step that has been completed.

    After completing a step for a task, the user can see this in the Task History. They cannot see the note that they added. This would be useful when they need to reference this information after the fact.

  18. contract status

    I would like to have the field "Contract Status" from the DOE Reporting screen available as a Skyward Field for Custom Forms. We use task manager to Reappointment our PC and AC Contract teachers and it would be helpful to be able to show the field on the custom form to make sure we do not accidently issue a Reappointment for a PS Contract teacher. See attachments for more information.

  20. Enable API v6.1/Data Std v4

    I'm requesting that Skyward enable API v6.1/Data Standard v4 for the SMS Skyward HR/Finance sends that Skyward is certified for by Ed-Fi for Florida. https://techdocs.ed-fi.org/display/EDFICERT/Registry+of+Ed-Fi+Certified+Products indicates that API v6.1/Data Standard v4 is available to Texas and Wisconsin and other states upon request. This request would especially be helpful to Florida districts using FLCode.
