  4. Remove or Adjust the ability to print purchase orders with signature

    In the Purchasing Activity screen and View My Purchase Orders screen individuals have the ability to print the purchase order(s) with a signature by passing the Purchasing department. There are two places they can print the signed purchase order even if the Print button id removed.

    We reviewed the Service Call that was submitted prior to submitting this Product Idea. 


    We've created a Skycoder import file. By importing this file you will be able to use Skycoder to hide the view button on print history when coming from all screens except for Purchase Order Entry.


    This file is not supported as an attachment type on Product Ideas, so Skyward will email the file directly.


    Thank you.

  5. FastTrack Email Notifications for Custom Status Codes

    I would like to request a product enhancement that would allow us to send email notifications from Skyward to district staff when certain custom status codes are used in FastTrack – this is different than the screener, payroll, and HR notifications, but a custom option in the same area of setup - Message Center -> Configuration. An example of this would be a status code that is set up for salary review by a specific executive prior to proceeding with making an offer. This would help greatly with efficiency as these custom codes are generally used by executive leaders in…

  6. Invoice Entry Enter through all sections

    When going through the data entry in the invoice add screen on web, you can hit "Enter" to go to the next option EXCEPT the "Status" option. Then if you want to continue keying, you have to switch to TAB to the next option. I would just like to continue to "Enter" through all the options for ease of use using the numberpad.

    Thank you for submitting this idea request. We have a clarifying question before we can proceed reviewing it:

    We need to better understand what you want the checkbox to do. Do you this checkbox to pull from the sick bank profile with the HR side? Or, do you want to donate time to the sick bank?

    Thank you!

  8. Increase number of entries in the Employment History in Fast Track

    Our district is in great need of having the number of entries in the Employment History in the Fast Trak application open to additional entries as needed by the applicant. Currently, there are only four entries possible, and this forces applicants to decide which four, of the many they may have, to post for the position application. Additionally, this forces the use of an external form that can be difficult for the applicant to locate. Although a field is designated in the Attachments area, there is no guarantee the applicant will upload the needed document as opposed to any document…

    We recommend this alternative solution:
    (1) Add a new attachment for “Full Employment History” [WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AD]

    (2) Add it to the necessary attachment lists used in job listings. Note it will automagically alert all of the current applicants that they need to update their open applications [ WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL]

    (3) To avoid confusion (optional), turn off the normal Employment History in the affected job listings [WH\AD\FT\PP\PB]

    (4) Other Skyward districts have done something similar. They’ve added a Fast Track Config with attachments where they link attachments through JavaScript [WH\AD\FT\MC\PS\CF\DM]

    (5) So that required attachments display at the footer for every applicant (If a district wants a specific Full Employment History Template, they could provide one to their applicants here).

    (6) An additional benefit to setting up Fast Track this way is that if attachments are used for employment history, that gets moved over to profile from Fast Track. Be sure to set…

  9. Grand Total line needed in report

    The report used in the web under Payroll - RE - HI - AD, needs a grand total line at the end of the report for all deductions that are selected. It only totals each one separately.

  12. Add a number of User Defined Fields to Personnel Tab that are Reportable.

    There are a couple of fields we would get great use out of that we would like added to Skyward, but we realize that each district is different, so it would be great if each district could define those fields themselves, and report on them.

    Example: We very much would benefit from an Insurance Eligibility Date, an OPEB Eligibility Date (would be even better if this one had history similar to Leave History, but also with an FTE field linked to it), and an OPEB Eligible field with Yes/No as drop-drop down or radio button.

    Reporting on the OPEB eligibility…

  13. Processing TRS in 2 FY

    Distinguishing between July, August and September Starts. Documentation suggests that Employee Types are tied to paid start dates. We should have the option to generate a list using Employee Types and then delete specific employees before processing.

  14. Add Utility to import Access Codes to True TIme.

  17. Ability to select multiple checks when reconciling checks using mass add statement date

    Currently, mass add statement date provides no option to select multiple checks at one time on WF\AP\CR\CR screen in a simple manner (you can use filters, but they are clunky at best). You should be able to select the first check in a range, then press shift & select the last check in a range to select all checks in that range.

  19. UID Mass Update

    Being able to have a mass delete UID utility with parameter options would be very helpful. Currently only way to update employees in TSDS is the delete UID one by one and then be able to extract to upload to TSDS. With a UID in the profile record will not extract. The majority of our staff is still showing location from initial upload to TSDS. Or sometimes when staff return after resigning but were employed in another location, UID is still in profile due to being needed on service records. Having this type of utility would be very helpful to…

  20. Customizable Assignment Category

    It would be helpful to have a customizable category in assignments so I can name it what I want.

    Example, we have core components that have to be passed at 80% or better. If they were color coded and labeled by my terms, it would be super easy to see who I need to work with for that category in my gradebook and in reports.
