  1. annual allocation description

    It would be nice if the annual allocation descriptions could be edited when allocating time off at the beginning of the year. Right now, it reads as "Annual Allocation - supplemental" but it's not supplemental time. I would rather the description say "Annual Allocation"

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    While zip codes cannot be added through WF/AM, you can add them through Web Financial Management under Vendor > Codes > Zip Codes.  This will bring up the zip codes tables where you can freely add.  You will need at least level 3 security access for the add button to appear.


    I hope this helps!

  3. Multiple building available on profile under personel

    On the employee profile it would be a great benefit to security access if there were multiple buildings available. Currently we have one "Other Building". Please add two more. This would allow us to restrict security groups to an employees building(s) without opening and setting their ranges. We have a considerable amount of employees that are assigned to a building but also need access to others. Managing ranges is our only option and presents a security risk.

  4. Make the Font larger for addresses

    Please increase the Font on the address for the Food Service Report for Payor Balance Reports. The font is so small and hard to read. I have had several complaints from numerous people including from mail carriers.

  5. Person Count Report by Building-all together

    In the Employee Administration, Reports, Person Count Report- I'd like an option to have the report tell me how many of each staff type (teacher/support staff/admin/food service, etc) there are by building without having to run each building separately. Sort by? How many staff, by type, are at each building. (see attached - each building could be displayed like this, one right after the other with a total at the end.) Also, when you run this report for one building, the parameters (building name) are not shown on the report - that would also be helpful to indicate what information…

  6. add Hospitalized and Homebound fields to datamining

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to datamine the homebound and hospitalized radial fields on the Special Prgrms>Hmbnd/Hosp tab. All other fields are available but with these two options missing the data isn't very informative.

  7. Use HTML or custom markup to decorate text in Messages and Emails.

  8. Allow more options from the student profile to be added to transcripts.

    We should be able to add all of the information that is in a student's profile to a transcript. For example, the student type, Special Ed status, 504 status, program enrollment. I'm using the custom transcript feature to create custom Cohort Tracker report for PA Act 158. Most specifically, I need to only show courses and grades of a certain course type.

  9. SBAA adding attachments to PO requestions

    When you add a PO requisition in SBAA you have to back out to requisition list to add an attachment. They would like the ability to add an attachment while entering the requisition. When you back out to add the attachment, you then have edit the requisition to submit it. Too many steps

  10. browse, report or data mine the "earned bilingual-bicultural education (1023) supplement" check box

    Currently there is no way to see who has the "earned bilingual-bicultural education (1023) supplement" check box marked in the certification tab in employee profile. It would be helpful to be able to see this in either the employee browse screen or be able to pull it in a data mine

  11. Add a "Selected Year Original Budget" column option to the Chart of Accounts

    It would be helpful during budget monitoring/planning to have a column in the Chart of Accounts for Selected Year Original Budget. Currently there is only an option for Selected Year Revised Budget. Users are able to run a report of the original budget through Budgetary Data Mining, but the Chart of Accounts provides a much quicker view / filter feature.

  12. Modify screens in SBAA and Purchasing

    It would be great if we could modify our screens to better fit our needs. LIke deleting rows that aren't fitting our needs. Currenlty in purchasing you can modify and find your modifications under CLONES but there is no ability in SBAA to do the same. And rather than cloning I just want to remove columns

    We are looking for more information on this:


    1. Are you referring to the ability to modify the view of the browse and what information displays?

    2. What information are you looking to adjust, and under which menu paths? (Check Requests, Cash Receipts, Journal Entries, Purchase Orders?)

    3. How does this change affect your day to day duties?


    This idea will remain open for further input from the Skyward Community.


    Thank you!

  13. When importing, can we import the amount in one column (negative being a credit)?

    When importing, can we import the amount in one column (negative being a credit)as opposed to the required two columns for a debit and a credit? Both options would be wonderful, so that files already created would have no issues.

  14. Adding Taxable Wages to Data Mining Filed Selection

    Please add taxable wages for federal, state and local taxes as a field selection under checks. Since Taxable wages are used to report for EIT, State and W-2's, it would be helpful to be able to pull a report with these fields if there are discrepancies.

  18. Sick Bank Flag defaults

    We would like the option to have a default for the Participates in Sick Bank area. All but a handful of employees participate by agreement, so it would be helpful to default this to Yes with the option to change for those few that don't.

  20. We would like to have automated letters in Human Resources.

    We would like to have the option to set up automated letters for employees. For example, if an employee only has 6 sick days left a letter would generate. We are hoping this could be set up like the attendance letters in student records.
