  1. Unpaid Hours on Timesheet

    Would like the total scheduled hours to appear on timesheet. A subtotal for paid hours worked, paid leave hours to total what is paid on the paycheck and also a subtotal of unpaid hours. The supervisors could then better track attendance. Unpaid hours are tracked in timeoff. Wish they could put the totals of unpaid hours on the timesheet instead of showing up as "0".

  2. Font Type

    In Skyward > Preferences > User Preferences it would be LOVELY to be able to select a different font that users could change depending on their needs. I know that there are some font options but NOT ENOUGH we want to be able to have different styles and sizes. As I have said in other customized suggestions, we have little joy in our lives as office workers and these tiny adjustments can make our lives so much easier and can be the reason that we come to work every morning.
    Thank you!

  3. Data Mining Reports - Employee Numbers by DATE

    I need to be able to run a report showing the total number of active employees by a specific date or year. The date field is something that needs to be added to data mining. We need to report the number of employees for a specific date or year frequently.

  4. Need a way to see denied time off requests from Human Resources - Employee

    When viewing time off transactions for an employee, you can see the approved time, but not the denied time. The only way to see this is to run a report. It would be nice to have an option to see the denied time off, even if it's included as a filter on the Unapproved tab.

  5. Ability to add vertical line in Data Mining reports.

    End users would appreciate the ability to include/add a vertical line at various points in our data mining reports to help the viewers more easily segregate data output, i.e. to provide a separator between various fiscal years, etc.

  6. Auto email with approved PO to link back to the PO.

    When a requisition is approved, and the requestor receives the automatic email notifications, is it possible for Skyward to include a link back to the PO in those auto emails? This would make uploading attachments to the PO (receipts, invoices, etc.) a lot more efficient, so if there is a setting that can up changed that will do that, I'd like assistance with that option.

  8. Create Pre-note File

    Create a setting to allow Direct Deposit to Pre-note in the payroll even if the person is NOT getting paid. A way to have the payroll process pre-note everyone, like the AP side.

  11. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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?

  16. 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.

  17. Add Web-Style Employee Selection Parameters to Mass Change Pay Record Account Numbers Utility

    Even though the Mass Change Pay Record Account Numbers utility has been migrated to Web, the employee selection parameters mirror PaC-style selection, and do not offer any of the newer selection options (primary pay account code, assignment, etc.), nor can we utilize selection by Processing List.

    These newer selection methods are invaluable when trying to reconfigure the accounts within existing pay codes to mirror current primary pay account structure. We cannot mass delete/recreate pay codes due to potential loss of historical data, so the accounts need to be updated periodically, but as employees move around, so do the dimensions of…

  20. 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.
