  3. Indicate previously denied CC transactions and decline multiple with same comments

    This is a two part/related question related to credit card transaction approvals.
    1)We're wondering if there's a way to indicate that a credit card transaction had been previously denied when it comes back for approval. The goal would be that when the approval comes back through, it would somehow show that it had previously been submitted and denied. I don't know if that would mean creating a new option besides app or deny (maybe review or something similar) or maybe some time if asterisk indicator?
    2) Is there a way to deny several transactions at the same time with the…

  5. Data Mine for Detail Item in an invoice

    It would be nice to be able to Data Mine for a Detail Line Item on an invoice rather just an account code. Example Carpet.
    Or be able to data mine for like a catalog item.

  6. Account Groups

    Would be great if we could delete account groups that we do not/ have NEVER/ will NEVER use. Right now they all have a Z in front of their name - but I'd like to eliminate them altogether.

  7. Automatically print attachments when printing requisitions

    When printing a requisition, is there any way that the attachment could print with it? Or at least a pop up window asking if you wanted to print it?

  8. Vendor Report, $25,000+ in payments for Federal Grant tracking

    Could Skyward create a canned Vendor Report that would show all payments made to a vendor within a specific date range? All payments meaning, all checks, all ACH, all p-card payments. Federal fund guidance requires districts to keep additional documentation for vendors who receive $25,000 or more in federal funds annually, so being able to pull this report monthly, or quarterly would be helpful.

  10. Mass Inactivate Employees Utility (WH\EP\PS\UT\MI)

    We move our inactive staff to a building location named "Inactive Employees". It would be helpful to have a feature that would mass change the building locations and check locations.

  11. Quick Void - Not show Regular Check in Skyward Web

    If we do a quick void on a payroll check, it would be nice that the "regular" check that was voided would not show in Skyward Web for employees to see. I understand showing the Voids, but I think that is more confusing for employees.

  12. Add 1095C to Employee Access

    "Crandall ISD has the opportunity to have our 1095-C Forms loaded into our Payroll Portal in Skyward.

    We need to know:

    Is that an option?
    If so is there a charge to load the forms?
    What is the correct nomenclature/form type for loading?

    Our ACA vendor has agreed to either provide the Forms in individual PDF format to be loaded into each employee's portal (or whatever it is called Angela) OR can provide a CSV with all EE data for loading into Skyward to generate the 1095-C Forms.

  13. Add a Filter and/or Quick Filter option to the Pseudo Approval area

    Please add the option to create Filters and/or Quick Filters on the Employee Pseudo Approval screen. We sometimes need to search for information among the "completed" records and the only viable option is to drop it to Excel and then search. It would save time and improve efficiencies to have a typical Filter option available. The current Filter Option button just toggles between hiding the completed or waiting for approval records. It doesn't help locate groups of records on this table view.

  14. Merge Duplicate Vendors

    It would be helpful if there was a way to merge vendors that are duplicate entries. Over the years we have had duplicate vendors added, i.e., Region 10, Region X, and ESC 10. These separate vendors will always be in the system because they were all used at some point. If we could merge vendor profiles we could greatly reduce our database and make finding the correct vendors a lot easier.

  15. Popup box and lock including the name - showing someone is in the file you are accessing.

    Have a popup display when another user is in someone's application or employee profile including who they are locking the file until the person has exited the file. This would be beneficial for both FastTrack and EM.

  16. Add Skyward login link to TrueTime emails notifying supervisors when an employee submits their timesheet.

    When a supervisor is emailed that there is a time off request waiting their approval, there is a link in the email that takes them to Skyward. That link is not in the email notifying the supervisor that their employee submitted a timesheet. Is it possible to get that link in the timesheet submitted email to the supervisor?

  17. survey reporting

    Could we update the system to recognize employee termination dates so employees not active in the current fiscal year DON'T get pulled for survey reporting? Many employees receive a bonus, sick pay or vacation leave in the fiscal year after they've retired/resigned, etc. Currently, these employees are pulling for survey when they don't need to be reported.

  18. Summer payroll payouts

    Can we get access to a test system to run our summer payroll for July and August in June since we have to submit all earnings for teachers to TRS by the end of June instead of having to run these two months payrolls in June and then canceling them out just to run them again the correct months.

    Thank you for your input.


    It sounds like you are looking for access to a test database with a copy of your data?


    This would be a hardware call in this case rather than a product idea.  You can submit those requests through the ? button in Web > Customer Access > and then submit the service call to our Customer Success team to help point you in the right direction!


    If this is not the case, feel free to respond back.


    Thank you!

  19. Add Quick Key function to Journal Entry screen.

    Self-explanatory. It defeats the purpose of a quick key if you have to go to another screen to access it.

  20. automated emails

    Vendors: Have automated emails/letters to request updated W-9s or ACH Information from vendors. I currently have to manually request this information from the vendors individually. If not available functionality in Skyward, at least a way to export vendor data to Google Sheets so I can do a mail merge.
