Add Supervisor to Data Mining
We can add a supervisor to an assignment, but it doesn't appear we can run a data mine with that field available. It would be helpful to have all fields of an assignment used in reports.

vendor approval
Can we have the option to have multiple vendor approvals like time offs. When one person approves a vendor, it can then go to another person and does not get approved until it has been approved by all approvers. Currently, if any approvers approve, it is goes through. The reason is because we require our individual vendors to go through a background check. We would like our HR department to approve the vendors so we know they passed the background requirements before the vendor is approved.

W-4 2020
The system should now be updated so the default for new employees should be with the W-4 for 2020 as Single with no adjustments. It shouldn't have the prior year defaults and require us to to click on 2020 or after W-4 for every new person going forward. I thought no changes were going to be allowed in the system for prior to the 2020 W-4 form. It should be switched at this point to default to 2020 info and just leave the prior info as viewing if not changed to 2020.

Option to auto create vendor on employee add - individually not mass
I would like to see an option when creating a new employee to create a vendor at the same time for that employee. However I don't want this to be a system wide/mass add option. We don't want to add every employee as a vendor, just certain ones. A check box during the employee creation would be great. This would trigger the vendor to be created and carryover ACH info to vendor profile automatically.

Certification details
Currently can enter the issue/expiration dates for the certification master section. Need the ability to enter issue/expiration dates on the certification detail section in order to determine infield/outfield status. Example is a teacher who gets an additional certification area 3 years into the certificate but should not be reported as infield for that area before the addition area was received.

Change positive/negative sign for Revenue/Expense.
It would be nice to give users the option to "flip the signs" so Revenues would show as a positive and Expenses would show as a negative. This would make the Data Mining reports easier for "non-accountants" to understand. We recently moved from a different software program to Skyward, and some of our users (building secretaries) are confused by the way revenues and expenses are reflected.

Print Commodity Codes on Purchase Orders (EDGAR "Like-Type" Items)
The TEA letter from November 2018 regarding micro purchase thresholds under EDGAR have made it more important than ever to accurately measure our purchasing levels in like-type categories. Because of this, more districts will begin utilizing the Commodity Code feature in Skyward. Having the ability to print commodity codes on POs will greatly assist our end users with determining which commodity code to use on new requisitions.

Filter on all screens
It would be very helpful if you are on any screen (i.e. - chart of account) where you can right-click and filter out certain information. For example, If I am looking at chart of accounts and filter on salary accounts, but I want to exclude overtime in my view. I would be able to right-click and either exclude every account that has the word "overtime" or exclude the object code for overtime. Instead of download the chart of account to excel and doing this filter through excel.

Employee Locator - Limit viewing to ORG Chart structure
Employee Locator - Limit viewing to ORG Chart structure
Employee locator is a great feature under employee access. It is currently an OFF/ON feature. We do have it turned ON. However, aides and teachers can currently see Superintendent, Principals, and the personal time off and reasons listed for every employee in Skyward. This is information that we feel everyone should not be able to see. Having viewing access limited based upon the ORG Chart would be a great addition to Employee Locator in Skyward. I recently found out that Skyward employees already have something similar to this hard-coded into your…

Prevent Employees from Requesting More Hours Than Setup
In Employee Access, employees will get an pop-up message warning them that they are requesting more hours than the number of hours per day in their time off setup. However, this is a warning only. Employees can click OK and submit the request anyway. I'd like to see an option for making this an error instead of a warning to prevent employees from submitting such requests.

Disable the ability to delete time off/leave request after submitting.
It would be helpful if there was an option that would keep employees from deleting their requests after they have submitted them, or give me a notice that they did delete it. If they submit and then delete, the system gives no notification that it was deleted. As the person who arranges subs for the district, this is not good because I have already received the notice they need a sub, but no notice they no longer need one, which will result in a sub showing up for work when not needed. (I am aware they can't delete it after…

User Security Reports
Historical Change Audit and Group Change reports need an option to select changes that were only made by a specific person. When investigating what one person did you have to work thru hundreds of pages of user failed login and additional security changes that have no value to the inquiry.

Allow _Vacancy to be included in Data Mining Reports
There is currently not a method to report ALL Positions & Assignments including Vacancies utilizing Data Mining.
Assignments is a good tool but it only includes 2 Account Codes (we have many positions with 3-6 account codes) so this is not an adequate tool when reporting, managing data with account codes.
This should be an "easy" fix since several "canned" reports have an option to "Include Vacant Assignments."
Thank you!

On-Line Form Attachment
I would like to the ability to attach a spreadsheet or document to an online form that is pushed out to employees through employee access. Currently, the employee can upload a form to the "Attach" section in employee profile through Employee Access. I want to push a document out to them.
