  1. Wisconsin PI 1504/1505 and School Level Report Export should have the option to pull the Original Budget or the revised

    PI 1504/1505 and School Level Report should have the option to pull the Original Budget or the revised. Our Board approves the original budget and we need to report that to the state. Currently we can't allow budget revisions until the file upload is available around November 1st.

  2. GIving supervisors access to run payroll reports for only their staff

    GIving supervisors access to run payroll reports for only their staff. Right now if I give a supervisor access to account distribution, they are able to run this report for anyone on staff but I only want them to be able to run this report for their staff.

  3. An option to tag necessary personnel on leave requests automatically.

    There needs to be an option for online leave requests to automatically go to the necessary personnel. Currently it automatically goes to the admin who needs to approve it, but employees need to remember to tag me on the request. As the person who tracks time off and finds subs for every building, this is an ongoing headache, as not everyone remembers to tag me, despite the fact I have an alert that pops up that reminds them to do this every time they go to submit a request.

  5. Default Description or Account code for specific vendors in purchase order

    It would be nice if we could have a default description or account code given for certain vendors in the PO process. For example, some vendors require certain information that if we automatically included, the end user would not have to enter it in each time or enter it incorrectly. Also, if a vendor is specific to an account code, then it would default to a certain code.

  6. Security Restrictions for Employee management

    Users with access to employee management have access to all employee information, even those that the user may have no responsibility for. This makes confidential employee information available to those who do not need it.

    In our organization, it is critical that this type of information availability be limited. We could do so either by way of either building restrictions or PO/Requisition Groups.

  7. Select Check Column Sorting - WF\AP\CR\CR

    Sorry for the repost but, PR 4045393 did not address this issue as the screen is still not sortable. Need the ability to sort by columns that was removed in Addendum 2 (02/25/2019) restored. If there is an issue with maintaining the marks on selected checks you fix the issue instead of removing a function that brings the issue to light. We are talking about the screen "Select Checks to Apply Statement Date" where you complete the checkbox to apply the date to the selected checks.

  8. All changes need to be marked red

    When running the plan calendar cycle, system does not report values in red correctly. It does not recognize changing 08/01/2018 to 08/01/2019 as a changed marked in red. Appears that changes are only marked if the month and/or the day are different while ignoring the difference in year.

  11. PR1500

    There seems to be a glitch in the new Texas reporting PR1500. The Bilingual/ESL/Special Education field is a required field. The system will not allow you to proceed without choosing one or the other.

  12. Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form

    Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form.
    New employee form requires notice to employee of wage change or any change to pay. We can do this individually for new hires but for mass changes due to contract changes it would be helpful to have a utility to create a form from skyward to send to the employee.

  14. Language Preference

    Allowing the End User a language preference would be extremely helpful. Especially in Employee Access when an employee speaks and reads in a different language. This would be a huge benefit for those having to use Time Off and True Time.

  15. Include Building Location Column under Employees on the Advanced Employee Lookup screen

    On the Advanced Employee Lookup screen, it would be helpful to have the Building location column under the Employees Section where you select from the filtered list. So if I am looking for a person and only know their first name, employee type and building, it would be easier to find the person in Skyward.

  18. Choose Invoice Status to See

    For invoice entry screen change the "status" to have the ability to check a box next to which ones you want to see. You can simplify the choices and allow greater control. For example I would like to be able to see those in batch and those waiting approval at the same time, but I can't because it is not a separate option to select.

  19. License expires field or background check field on personnel page

    WI DPI has a lifetime license, however, a background check needs to be done every five years. It would be great to have a field that could be exported to excel so I would know who's license will expire. The paper license from DPI does not have a background check date. We will not know when a license will expire because a teacher forgot to submit a background check.
