  1. Mass Inactivate Vendors in SBAA (Same utility as Order From vendor)

    Mass Inactivate Vendors in SBAA (Same utility as Order From vendor). We need a way to mass inactivate old SBAA vendors instead of one by one by entity. Larger Districts have tens of thousands of vendors that would require each vendor to be made inactive, a mass utility that would inactive all vendors in SBAA across all entities would be a large time savings process.

  2. add-on reporting

    Add-on codes need to use the state code defined to report Florida additional compensation information. If you don't use the pay-code of the assignment the hourly rate calculation is inaccurate which means the additional paycode tab is of no value because of the wrong rate. Another option if different paycode values must be maintained is to have a check-box that says these codes should be included in the calculation of hourly rate when transferring to the additional paycodes. If this option is used, it needs to also follow the additional pay code screen and allow a box to mark so…

  3. Add Additional Security to Pseudo Approval Area

    We need additional security options for the pseudo approval area. We have added the option for employees to electronically submit a direct deposit change request. These requests will need to be approved by our Payroll Department. We also allow employees to request demographic changes which are then approved by our Human Resources department. We need for the pseudo approval area to have the ability to be restricted by different areas. Another option would be to at least have a report available that would allow us to pull requests, approvals, approvers, date and time in order to verify the appropriate department…

  4. Schedule Mass Assign of a Status Code

    When Volunteers apply we assign them a separate status code for processing on a daily basis. HR will manually run this utility daily to move the applications into the view of the coordinators at the schools for processing. We would like to have the ability to schedule this utility to automatically run twice a day. Currently we have been advised by Skyward that is not available.

  5. Ranges in Employee Profile screen on web

    would like to see an option to filter by term date in the employee profile screen under WH\EP\TB\AF. would be very helpful at the end of year for 1095 reporting, W-2 reporting and for end of school year for people leaving and people coming. for example, right now I only want to see all staff with a term date of 1/1/2019 or greater. I know I can pull a list, but I need to check each person's ACA report and edit so I would rather do it from the screen itself.

  6. Email notification to HR for more than one status code on an applicant. (490 and 495)

    I would like to be able to set it up in Skyward so that I, as an HR Director, receive an email when an applicant's status code is changed to a 490. I already receive one for the 495 but would prefer to have both.

  7. Mass stop assgn/start assgn utility

    Need a utility to stop/start a group of assignments. The best example of need is for a non-retro pay raise where the only change is the matrix code and dates.

  8. Cash Receipts to Print Additional Dates

    Currently cash receipts only print the "Receipt" Date on the final receipt. I believe that date pulls from the date on the detail page. We would like the option of entering a "deposit" date (at bank), an "entered" date (into Skyward and a "posting" or batch update date (in Skyward) on the detail page. It would be very helpful when looking at the printed receipt (like our auditors do) to have all of these dates available to anyone that needs to see it.

    All of our schools make their bank deposit for TBR, Food Service and Child Care into one…

  10. Employee Type Code Count

    In PAC there is a report that will generate employee type codes totals or a breakdown for active and inactive. This would be nice in WEB as well.

  11. need fields added on position tab

    Since the view option was removed from the PAC side we are missing valuable information such as number of days the employee is working in the contract period. The calendar is listed however for those employees that start after the start of the year we can't see how many days without going into WEB, assignments, opening all... We used this information to figure retirement hours since the system doesn't know how to give 8 hours when an employee is 1.0 fte at 7.0 and 7.5 hours nor does it look at the total hours and divide over the number of…

  12. protect notes access by groups rather than by person

    Currently, staff can protect a note and only they can view it. I would like the option to give access of protected notes to groups of people rather than one person individually. Example: our middle school principal protects a note and student moves to high school. Now, no one can view that note and we have to call the middle school principal to unprotect it so that our high school principal can view it. WOuld be great if people in a specific group can view protected notes no matter who protected it.

  14. Add User ID to the "blue bar" at the top of reports

    We share a printer between 8-12 people in our office. We could be printing anything from GL lines in Data Mining to Check Registers in AP to Journal Entries or Cash Receipts, etc. When we print, if we don't make it to the printer in the next 5 seconds, our 'job' might end up mixed with someone else's. It would be helpful if there was a "User ID", much like there is a Date, Page number, Time, etc in the blue area at the top of the report. If we use the "Print Title Page" option in Data Mining, we're…

  15. We would like the ability to create a True Time report that allows us to see total hours WORKED (not paid/unpaid Time Off or Holidays) based

    We would like the ability to create a True Time report that allows us to see total hours WORKED (not paid/unpaid Time Off or Holidays) based on a particular Pay Code. Right now the True Time Detail Transaction Report does not allow us to total by Pay Code or filter for just hours worked.

  16. Reformat our Personnel Dates Section in Skyward Web

    Our District would like to reformat our Personnel Dates Section to meet our tenure tracking. Attached is the how we would like to have it formatted. Would these fields still meet EIS and ACA reports? Thank you so much! Chris Martin, Danville CCSD 118

  17. Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information

    Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information and Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Applications by Position|View Applications|View Application Information. We are currently usingFileBound's Connect to store all of our HR documentation. We integrate on the Employee ID. This would allow our hiring managers to review current employee applicants' HR records without having to make a trip to the central office.
    This has already been added to Human Resources|Employee Administration|FastTrack|Applicants|Application Information, but our Hiring Managers do not have rights to this area. Please see attached.

  20. Total on Screen

    It would be helpful if when we are on the chart of accounts or any screen with rows of data that we would get totals for the rows viewed on the screen. For example, if I filtered salaries on chart of accounts, I would have a total for the budget, debits, credit, remaining budget. these figures would pertain to the rows/accounts I would view on the screen based upon my filters.
