  1. Add additional colums to the view.

    In using the Status Code view when looking at applications, the system will only allow you to view 10 columns. In addition, it will only allow you to dump into Excel 10 columns. Several of our applications have as many as 16 status codes assigned. We need either to see it in the view or at least be able to dump it to see the overall picture of the workflow processes on a grand scale.

  2. Add a date range selection to the Credit Card Transaction Board Report

    The format of the Credit Card Transaction Board Report is a much cleaner report to give to our Board, but I am not able to pull the report for just the transactions that need approval at the monthly board meeting. There needs to be a date range selection, import date range selection, or batch number selection.

  3. Add lockout warning to log in page

    Add a warning to the login page so employees know they will be locked out after 3 failed attempts. I get multiple requests to unlock accounts each day, because people don't know they will be locked out. They just keep trying over and over again. It would be nice if they were instructed to click the Forgot Password link.

  4. Snapshot of what a fund looked like based upon a specific date

    Our SBOA auditors have been asking us for a "snapshot" of our Federal Funds based upon a specific date of their choosing. This currently isn't possible because everything is like a living document in Skyward. So if we need to reproduce a data mining report from a prior date (say 8-31-19 for example) to verify something such as our reimbursement request for August expenditures will never be correct or the same as it was from 8-31-19 due to activity throughout the following months. We should be able to print the same report we did from a year ago and get…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!

    We’re looking for clarity on this idea: Is this idea requesting an update to the reporting capabilities or does it deal more with the fact that if you backdate something we don’t have a tracker field in Data Mining to indicate that the transaction was backdated?

    Thank you for your feedback!

  5. Data Mining Reports to Print Balances for More Than a 12 Month Span

    Currently all data mining reports allow you to ask it to print an unencumbered or unencumbered remaining balance. However, the remaining balance is only for the final year that you are asking the report to print for. So if you have a fund (which most of us do have funds that run more than 12 months) that runs July 1, 2018 and ends December 2019 (or later), your available balance will never be correct since your fund runs beyond the 12 month period. It will give you the available balance based upon January 2019 through December 2019 but won't include…

  6. Vendor Req, PO's, Inv, Checks button screen selection

    I regularly use the Req, PO's, Inv, Check button in Vendor Browse. Please allow us to clone and organize the columns as to what is most pertinent to the user. I would also like o see the po number used if the invoice was entered this way.

  7. Wire Transfer Reference # Set Up

    When setting up Wire Transfer Reference # for new fiscal year - allow the district to edit the first four digits to a larger number. With the start of the 20-21 SY - our ACH & Wire Transfer number both begin in the 20xxxxxxx digits which will make it more difficult to recognize whether a voucher is an ACH payment or a Wire Transfer payment. We use Wire Transfer numbers for all of our p-card payments.

  9. Calendar Code Mass Change

    With Calendar Code Mass Change it would be super helpful, and TIME saving, to either be able to mass change multiple calendars at the same time or, better yet, have it be part of the update from payroll process so that we can do both at the same time.

  10. Would like to save parameter sets in data mining

    Why is there no way to save specific parameters in the Web Data Mining? This makes running reports in WEB very inefficient.

    Budgetary Data Mining under “Runtime Report Setup” offers the option to “Change setup for this run and save setup” which creates and saves separate reports with all the selected parameters. You can even run multiple reports at the same time.

    If your not using Budgetary Data Mining, which please describe which Data Mining you are using so we can better understand this request.

    Thank you!

  11. change the default setting on Create Prenotification download file

    Change the default setting from no to yes where you are asked if you want to exclude inactive employees. It is illogical that you would default that setting to NO.

  12. Show visual of account number and balance in PO approval, like the Account Management side.

    There is a visual showing the Account and a pie chart in the Account Management side for PO approvals. In SBAA for the PO approval, there is no such visual available, making it take considerable more time to see the account that is used as well as a balance available. Please consider adding a similar visual to the SBAA PO approval system.

  14. Applicant Import Email field populated the wrong field in Profile

    Applicant Import Email field populated the wrong field in Profile. The applicant import pulls personal email from TalentED or New Hire app, but populates the work email field. Personal email should populate the email 2 field and leave mail # 1 vacant for the work email when profile creates it.
    Email 1 = "Name"."INTERNET-ADDRESS"
    Email 2 = "Name"."INTERNET-ADDRESS-2"

  15. Payroll Reports in Web need option to add the PAC reports

    There are a lot of account distribution reports that we have set up in PAC and use every payroll but are not seeing those reports in Web. The only way it seems to add those reports is to add them manually. I understand there are additional options but could there be something set up to pull in those reports and just add the additional options that are needed.

  16. Add Background date for Wis Licenses to Certification Detail Information or Name Information field in Employee Letter

    DPI requires a background check every five years for lifetime licenses. It would be nice to be able to add that field to letters we post to employees in Employee Access ~ so that they can verify/track that date on their contract letter.

  17. Save eCommerce Requisitions

    Give the ability to save eCommerce Requisitions once started. Sometimes you will be entering an eCommerce order and you will have 50 things that you want to get. Once you hit the submit button it will crash and you loose everything. It would also be nice if you could save it that you could come back and make any changes for example you decided you only need 5 boxes of pens instead of 10. If you had the ability to edit, it would take about 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes to fix.

  18. Salary Negotiations Plan Security

    We would like an additional layer of security/configuration added to the SN Plans. Need to allow users to continue maintaining under the Base Plan but not any of the Freeze Plans. This would help prevent users from accidentally updating the wrong plan both under Employee Profile and directly in Salary Negotiations.

  20. utility to clone rights from PAC over to web version

    With both web and PAC being available in our district, I would love to be able to start moving our users off of PAC. however some of their rights in web are not as fleshed out as they could be. Now, especially, with everyone working from home, we've found the appeal of web, with it being much more easily deployed for off-site users. I would really like to see a utility that could clone a users PAC rights, INTO their web rights, ensuring they could accomplish everything in the new version they could in the old.
