  1. Employee Access / Address / Request Changes

    Could there be an option to select which addresses employees would like to change when an Address Request Change is entered? Possibly check boxes beside all available Addresses for them to select the ones to update upon approval? Thanks!

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    We would like some additional clarification on this


    Currently, employees can request to change their primary or their mailing address and they can be requested to be changed independently. It may depend on how your request changes configuration is setup.


    Or would you expect 1 request for an address change instead of 2?


    Thank you!

  2. Would love the ability to mass add add-ons by individual names as an option to choosing, for us, generic parameters.

    We use the mass add of add-ons utility every year. It's quite cumbersome to get a preview and have to go and delete every record off the preview that should not receive the particular add-on. It would be nice to have the option to choose specific names to receive the add-on.

  3. Add a place on the Standard Report card to add a name instead of all the same "Standard Report Card" with the date they were posted.

    Add a place on the Standard Report card to add a name instead of all the same "Standard Report Card" with the date they were posted. Example 2025 1st 6 weeks report card.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea! This seems to be aimed at the Student Management Suite and not the Business Suite. I would suggest re-posting the idea to the Student Suite Portal for our product owners to review.


    Thank you!

  4. AP attached to Payroll Check

    Currently if you have an employee who is being reimbursed for anything it goes through AP, to post through payroll it would need to do a negative reimbursement. You lose history and there is no place to enter what that reimbursement is. In SMART you are able to attach and AP reimbursement to a paycheck. I know in my past job I had a lot of reimbursement's and they were added to my paycheck as well.

  5. Time Off Requests - No more than 1 day per request

    We use calendars on employee profiles and would like the option to turn off the Time Off Date Range so employees could not ask for more than one day per request.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea! This is actually already a feature - the option you are looking for is located through Web Product Setup > Employee Access > Configurations > Time Off Setup.


    Under the Request options tab there is a checkbox option "Prevent Employees from requesting more than one day off with a single Time Off transaction" which you will just want to make sure is checked.

  6. Time Off Requests - Sub Needed

    When teachers enter a time off request it would be beneficial that the box for Sub Needed be automatically checked (with no option to uncheck it) and once saved would take them to Aesop to enter the sub request.

  7. Enlarge the lookup table available on custom forms to 50 instead of 35

    Enlarge the lookup table available on custom forms to 50 instead of 35 as this could be used for more options to force users to make correct selection as opposed to an entry where they can enter what they want. For example to select an assignment so it matches exactly in position control and such

  8. timesheet submission

    Timesheet Submission Exception Reasons by Timekeeping Rule.

    There should be the ability to assign or to be able to create unique Exception Reasons to specific Timekeeping Rules. Not all reasons make sense for the different work staff.

  9. sales tax

    I would like to propose the addition of a "Taxable Sales" button in our system to automatically calculate and post tax to the liability account. Currently, our bookkeepers have that and now that we will be migrating to Q they will have to manually back out tax and post revenues separately, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Implementing this feature will streamline operations, ensure accuracy, and reduce the workload on our bookkeepers by eliminating multiple steps in the tax reporting process.

    I believe this enhancement will greatly improve our operational efficiency and accuracy. I look forward to your feedback.

  10. Employee Cost by Account Report

    Please, please, please add this report to current plans so it is not only available in Salary Negotiations. This is an amazing, incredible report and not being able to pull it from our current plan is so frustrating. I am having to keep up the current plan with new changes of course, but then have to keep my sal neg plan up to date all year so that we can pull that report.

  11. NACHA file format option

    We have a vendor, Alliant Energy, that only accepts ACH payments if the format is CCD+ and CTX.

    Alliant Energy mentioned that they have a lot of schools that can't sent payments via ACH so we are all limited to sending paper checks.
    Could you please develop a CCD+ and CTX format for ACH payments?
    As a follow up from the last user group, this is a step we are trying to take to prevent fraud. There have been districts that have had paper checks white washed and cashed with zero recourse.
    Thanks!

    You must change the current Effective Date or update the existing transaction(s) before this transaction an be completed. And any date we enter won't work.

  18. Adding new pay codes

    We use True Time and we are currently trying to be more descriptive with our Pay Codes. So we have added a number of Pay Codes for payroll purposes to make sense for staff when viewing their paycheck. We also have a number of True Time rule sets for our district. Right now when we add a pay code, it automatically adds that pay code to True Time rule sets. Can it not automatically be added to True Time rule sets?? The logic doesn't make sense and I'd rather be forced to add it as needed. It's a lot of…

  19. Keyword Search in Vendor Names

    Add the ability to search for key words in vendor names. Some vendors have DBAs or abbreviations in their names. Searching for a vendor means you have to know the exact way it exists. We have many duplicate vendors that could have been prevented if there was a way to search for a portion of the name

  20. Have Auto Approval available for Credit Card transactions (similar to Requisition Auto Approval) so

    Create Auto Approval for Credit Card transactions (similar to Requisition Auto Approval) that would allow managers to automatically approve transactions under a specific dollar amount.
