  1. 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.

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

    It would be great to be able to enter HTML tags to markup text, especially for something as simple as bold text.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!

    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!

    Erik O.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    Please create a utility to purge old KIDS export records (Kansas State Reporting). KIDS is Kansas specific, but all states have reporting and could benefit from this utility. Currently the only way to delete the old export records is one by one.

  13. 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.

  15. Encumber Funds When P-Card Transaction Is Submitted for Approval

    A district's budget management would benefit if Skyward encumbered budgetary funds when an employee submits a transaction for approval. I understand that a purchase order would encumber the funds, but I do not want to ask employees to complete an additional form in Skyward. That said, if p-card transactions are not invoiced, the expenditures are not reflected in the budget. Our department leaders use their budget reports to make decisions, but the reports don't do much for them when they have numerous p-card transactions that are not encumbered. I upload p-card transactions daily, and if there were a way we…

  16. Develop Data import/update against DocuSign API

    Hi, suggestion to develop employee import/update against the DocuSign API for onboarding new personnel. I think a lot of school districts use both Skyward HR for employees/payroll and DocuSign for document/envelope/packet management in digital form rather than paper copies.
    Might be a good opportunity to streamline some data movement in regards to onboarding processes.
    thanks

  17. Inactive PO Contracts to not display on PO/Req screen

    With the addition of Vendor Contracts with Start/Stop dates, the Stop date should stop the contract from viewing when creating the Req/PO; i.e only Active Contracts display.

    Is there any way an option can be included on the account sequence report to print it by posting date as opposed to invoice date? Is there any other report that gives as much detail as the account sequence report but has the option of printing by fiscal year? Is there any option anywhere to print GL detail as opposed to batch postings in the GL? Auditors are looking for detail of what posted in specific accounts.

  20. Expand options within Pay Code Maintenance in True Time

    It'd be great if you could have the option within True Time Pay Code Maintenance to say "Yes" to the option of "Must leave a Note" (similar to choosing "Yes" to the option "Include in True Time"). There are some paycodes that we REALLY wish people would remember to leave a note to help explain why they used that particular paycode.
