I would like automated emails with finance to be able to notify our business office when I add an invoice type category and/or attachment to
I would like automated emails to be added to the finance side of skyward. They are very handy in making certain data in is good and also that the appropriate people are notified to update other systems or pay purchase orders when adding invoices or attachment with category type of invoice. That way they know it can be paid and we are not waiting in October for a May PO to be paid.

Untie link from Inactive Employee to SMS
With a merged DB. When an employee is entered into the HR side they are forever unable to make changes to the record when they are also in the SM side (it says they are an employee and changes need to be made on that side). Even when the employee is inactive and has not worked her for years. That make it a problem when we add that person as an emergency contact or parent grandparent for phone and address changes. Once an Employee is inactivated on the HR side we should be able to break that tie to them…

Electronic 941
It would be nice if we could upload electronic 941's. Your website indicates that you have 2,000+ customers so that means that there are over 8,000 paper forms going to the IRS every year. Other software companies are doing this, why not Skyward?
84 votesStarting with the 05.20.02.00.11 & 05.20.06.00.02 addendums both available on 6/25/2020 a new option will be available to populate the IRS Form 941 with data from the 941 Report/Extract. Presently, this is only available for the current (2020) form year.
Thank you!

True Time Worksheet Import Verification

Conference Tracking
I would like for there to be a tracker for the conferences our employees attend. We currently do this with a Google Form but it would be beneficial to have this in Skyward under Employee Access. This tracker would have fields for the employee to input what conferences they are attending and details about the conference. It would also have a place for the employee to estimated the cost of the conference. There would need to be an approval process after completing the form.

posting to inactive cash accounts
We switched banks a number of years ago and have some inactive cash accounts. Did you know that when entering cash receipts you can choose the inactive bank account and it will then post to that account when you update. It does show up on the cash receipts update report as inactive on the second page but my feeling is that it should tell you the account is inactive when selecting the bank or at least give you a warning PRIOR to the update report.

ED40 Records
Since there have been issues with ED records in Skyward and on TRS Portal it would be nice to have a clone button to clone a record. For example this month I am having an issue with TRS portal that an ED40 records have not been submitted for August contracts. However I can see the ED40 record in Skyward and TRS. Other districts have just manually entered in the records because they did not have very many to get the system to process it. I am waiting to hear back from TRS since I have multiple employees I am getting…

Clone Substitute as part of Time Off Trans Clone
It would be great to have the option of cloning the Substitute as part of the Time Off transaction clone process. I most often use the clone process for FMLA or long-term situations and many times the substitute is the same for the whole period. As it is right now I can clone the time off but then have to edit each transaction any way to update the sub field. Although it would add a step it would be great if a preview screen would pop up showing the dates time off type reason and sub for the days you…

Language Spoken at Home
Wondering if the language spoken at home can be added to the Profile screen teachers see in addition to the home/native language. Many of our teachers require this information when scheduling conferences and/or meetings that require a translator.

Allow Req Changes for Emails 1 2 3 and 4
Allow users to enter personal email address for emails 2 3 and 4 for notifications. Information could then be exported/imported to a third party software. Employees are entering and maintaining their information in one system Skyward. Office staff is not manually updating the information in Skyward and then exporting to 3rd party. Saves District staff time in maintaining this information. Add Email 1 2 3 and 4 with the ability to select if employee can change using auto-approve approval needed read only or hide - just like Phone 1 2 and 3 fields.

Select Phone Category Field in Employee Access
Enable employees to maintain their phone numbers and select Phone Category and Type. This information would then populate the information on the Phone/Email tab. District could have a Notification Phone Category so that users could select to use for school closing. Data could then be exported and uploaded to 3rd party software. Districts are currently requesting the information it is not updated in Skyward only in the 3rd party software. Would allow single entry of data. Employees can keep their phone numbers updated for notification when necessary. Districts could have an open period to allow employees to update their numbers…

Add Phone Category Codes in Employee Access
Need Employees to be able to select a phone category code when entering their phone numbers in employee access. The category codes are available on Employee Profile/Phone/Email tab. This will allow the district to create category codes that will identify the phone number that employees want to use for third party software list, i.e. school messenger.

Our district changed to Office 365 for our e-mail and found out that Skyward isn't compatible with it. So now everything we have set for reminders POs enrollment monthly reports are not going out.

Employees need to identify type of phone and email
Employees need to be able to identify which type of phone and email each one is. Currently they can’t identify any phone number and only emails 2-4 can be identified via employee access. On the HR side I can however identify phone 2 and 3 but not one. Our request would be that via employee access they can identify all phone numbers and email addresses. If not they should be specified by the system. Our request would be that via employee access employees can identify all phone numbers and email addresses.

Expected Levels of Performance
After a recent update the expected level of performance moved to having ELP sets. Each teacher needs to set up their own sets for each class. However many teachers in my district are setting their ELP sets to the exact same settings. This seems redundant to me. It would be nice if there were a way to create ELP sets at an Entity level for each grading scale that are then available to all teachers for use in all classes using that grading scale. From there the Entity could then have the power to decide whether teachers are able to…

Garnishment calculation
US Department of Education calculates disposable earnings as Gross less taxes less health insurance less WRS pension. Also has a base minimum poverty earnings that excludes the deduction is earnings are too low. Skyward only has the standard disposable calculation of Gross less taxes. Negative impact: Federal Law failure to comply with correct calculation. Add another disposable calculation option that follow the US Dept of Education calculation that also includes the option of minimum earnings by employee.

Add ability to create a customized filter
I would like to request the ability to add my own customizable filter to the credit card approval screen as well as account detail similar to that on the Approve Requisitions page. As the business manager/final approve I approve all cc transactions so it would be easier to see only the info I want vs scrolling to the right = waste of time. It would be awesome if this screen showed the account detail / usage as the Approve Requisitions screen does. Making the verification and approval of credit card transactions more efficient and accurate.
