  2. Batch # field to be 1-2 digits longer

    Nassau has requested a longer batch number field (at least 1-2 digits longer) Our runs are getting larger and we try to identify B1 APR30 I'd like to use B10 APR30 Right now we're identifying extra batches as B10APR30 So when researching batches (for auditors) there hasn't been total consistency.

  3. Display timesheet in Unsubmitted even if no hours

    Could it be set up so a timesheet is created even if there are no hours recorded and have it display in Unsubmitted Time Sheets for each week there is a workweek schedule? This would be for timekeeping rules that use Annualized Pay based on Employee’s Schedule (see attachment for screen shots). Currently the Unsubmitted Time Sheets area doesn’t show timesheets for weeks where the employee didn’t clock in for the entire week. This could be a problem since the employee is automatically paid using annualized pay and it’s possible time off or worked time was supposed to have been…

  4. Allow Users to Attach Documents to Return Request

    Users should be able to attach documents and pictures to their return requests so that they can take a picture of a damaged item and include it as backup on the return request. Add an Attach button to this screen and allow users to upload documents and pictures.

  5. Add the word Allowances under the word Additional

    Add the word Allowances under the word Additional in employee access w4 information Less confusion - When employees view this screen they are confused as they think this should show the additional contributions (made to state or Federal) and not additional state allowances.

  7. Column Widths

    Users are having to scroll left-right excessively to receive POs. This screen should function like other areas and allow users to manipulate the column widths by percentages using the filter application. Allow the columns to be manipulated by percentages like other areas.

  8. Add comparative columns for amended budget

    When I do an amended budget I am limited on comparative columns (customize column 1 and 2) that would be meaningful (see attached Word doc). I am only able to select data from the prior two years. For an amended budget the current year activity and budget would be much more meaningful and should be added as an option for an amended budget. The negative impact of not making the change is the frustration that the budget entry isn't meaningful for an amended budget. Without the fix it is necessary to print reports to compare manually or dump reports into…

  9. Security Group(s) for limiting document access

    Applicants upload a scanned copy of their social security card. The purpose of uploading the scanned SSN is to be able to quickly validate/verify the information after we hire the applicant and give them their required computer access. HR personnel should be the only ones able to access/view these documents. Currently all screeners can access and download any of the created Attachment Lists (WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL). This could be an auditable issue as it relates to the security of personal information. A fix to this problem would be the ability to create security groups to limit certain attachment lists. We would want…

  11. Utility Added for SubTracking

    We would like a utility added that would keep someone from putting in two different substitutes for the same teacher on the same day. We are running into some scheduling a sub and putting them in the system and then when the day comes that sub doesn't show up and another is called and then that one is put in as well without removing the original sub. We would like to see an error message pop up when the second sub is being added for a teacher stating that there is already a sub in place so that they know…

  13. Adding cascading groups to time off limited access

    We need the ability to set up cascading groups for time off limited access for rated leave. So a Secretary adds a sick transaction to someone that is an administrator the system would pull from admin rated cap and last sick. Clerk would enter a sick transaction and the system would pull from the correct cascading group based on the rules from cascading rule.

  15. Verify funds pie graph for Check Request approvals

    Would like the ability to verify funds with a pie graph like the approval area of requisitions. Would be quicker to verify the funds within the approval screen rather than looking up the account in another screen to verify funds.

  16. Add Alert for PD requests pending approval

    I think I may have asked this before but another supervisor has requested that I ask Skyward to add this feature. Professional development requests awaiting supervisor approval do create an email that alerts the supervisor of the request. However the alert feature within Skyward does not include those pending PD requests. I just found two PD requests over a year old that were waiting approval from the supervisor. The supervisor was unaware they were there because the onscreen alert (the yellow ball that indicates time sheets time off requests or requisitions requiring approval) doesn't include PD requests.

    Please consider adding…

  17. Physical Inv. Report

    We need a Class code to be added to The Physical Inv. Report. We would also like an Exclude button this would be MOST HELPFUL to Exclude a "Dept." or "Class" code. We have many departments that do not need to see all Class items. For example technology want to see C - Computers not everything else. Buildings & Grounds only want to see B&E Buildings and Equipment. For large districts this sorting feature is extremely important please make every attempt to add this feature we have gone to long with out it.

  18. DEPENDENT REPORT ENHANCEMENT REQUEST

    Elimination of dependent data for employees who are no longer active in insurance tracking. I have employees who have left employment do not have an active insurance tracking record and they and their dependents still appear on the dependent report.
    No need for them to continue appearing on the report.

  19. Signatures on Employee Letters from signature file

    It would be really great to be able to apply an on file signature (board administrator) to an employee letter. We have specific board and administrator signatures on file for check printing and purchase orders. This would be a great feature on employee letters. With out an authorized signature on the document it really serves very little purpose to create and retain an unsigned document.

  20. Creating email 1, 2 and 3 like Phone number

    We would like to have an email 1 email 2 and email 3 similar to how phone is set up. This way we could allow employees to update their personal emails whenever they would like but have it set to read only with their company email. The way the system is set up currently it is all or nothing.
    Create an email 1 email 2 and email 3 just like phone numbers are set up in the Request Change Setup are.
