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…

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.

Contract inactivated based on expiration date
I would like to see if it would be possible to have a contract inactivated from a vendors profile based on the contract expiration date. I don't want the contract deleted. I am not aware of a way to pull up the expiration date in order to inactivate a contract from a vendors profile other than placing the expiration date on the description. We have another software that inactivates contracts based on the expiration date. Could a date calendar be placed in the contract area to help with this request? I do see the active button on each contract but…

Request the ability to Reset an Online Assignment
Currently a teacher can allow a student to Resume an On-line Assignment to finish an assignment they started. However if the teacher would like them to retake the assignment Resume leaves all the previous answers in place so the student just needs to correct the wrong answers rather than answer all the questions again. In order to allow the student to truly retake the on-line assignment it has to be cloned and then set to excused for all other students. This clutters the gradebook over the term of the course. We would like to see a Reset button added in…

Reocurring Invoices and purchse orders
It would be nice on the reoccurring purchase orders is there was a mass update for the fiscal year. The way it is now you have to log into PAC and then you have to update each vendor separately with the new fiscal year. It is very time consuming when you have a lot of reoccurring vendors set up for payments. It would be nice on the reoccurring purchase orders is there was a mass update for the fiscal year.

Identify Tier 2 TRS like IMRF
We need to have a check box to identify Tier 2 plan in TRS just like there is one for IMRF. We also need a an additional box to put in the wage limit because it changes every year. Currently we have 3 TRS employees that are tier2 over the wage limit and it caused problems in reporting.

Denial reason shown in email sent to originator
If a check request is denied the denial reason is not shown in the email that is sent to the originator. This causes inefficiencies because then the person has to call the business office to find out why their check request was denied. Further confusion is caused by the fact that a Notes field is in the email that the employee receives it's just left blank. Therefore they don't think to go into Skyward to check if there is a denial reason because the field in the email is blank. It's currently confusing to people in our District because we…

Requesting warning message for Bank Routing Info
Issue When entering direct deposit information it seems like (to my payroll specialists) the system finds the closest routing number in the library. They key in the routing number and select the bank name that comes up. We just found an incident where the payroll specialist entered a routing number & that bank was not in our library - but she did not realize it - and the bank name selected was the next closest. Can something be changed to warn them during data entry that the routing number is not in the library. Kind of like it does with…

ACA employee selection parameters
When adding an employee to the ACA workfile I would like to have the ability to select multiple employees similar to other selection parameters in the software. This would save a lot of time if I have a list of specific employees to add. Time is money $.
2 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest you try this instead:
During webinars our State and Federal Reporting Department recommend using an import process in this same Method to select employees quickly. You can do this using the 1095 tracker and exporting the browse of employees with an employee identifier at the time of running the report. You can run the 1095 tracker with an employee identifier of (employee id for example) and then export that browse to excel, save it and import it during year end using method 3.
Thank you!
