Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience
We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.

Please add a message after updating Purchase Orders
I would like to see a message after running a Batch to Open for Purchase Orders. Something that says "You have finished Updating your Batch to Open Purchase Orders". I am often interrupted during the process and not sure I have started it. So I run it again and of course get and error at that time.

Employee Access
Pseudo Approval: I have had employees ask if they would receive a system generated notification informing them as to the determination of their change request. I recommend to all employees to make direct deposit changes in Skyward, but once they are approved or denied they are not notified other than by me telling them. Could this be a process to which the employee would receive a system generated email upon approval or denial of the change request?

Ded/Ben Set Up = Single
Having a deduction and benefit code check type be set up as single. Currently having to manually make this edit each payroll. The current choices for set up are regular, wire, hold and blank. We also tried having the set up check type as blank and set the default check type to single on the vendor profile and the check type turned to H (hold). Just hoping to save a step or if it is accidentally forgotten to manually update.

multiple overlays in sub tracking configuration
In the Substitute Tracking Configuration, Skyward only allows for one default overlay in the account distribution. We have a need to have at least a second option similar to the account distribution overlay in employee managment>additional pay codes. Without this, we have to change every single sub when pulled in from absence management to change the project code since we already the overlay with the object code. This adds another hour each day to processing sub tracking. While I understand that we could have account codes in Absence Management, the number of codes we have are a lot and that…

Provide a way to capture SSI and Medicare exempt wages
When someone has a certain work visa, they are exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax on their wages. It would be nice to have Skyward keep track of these earnings via an exempt pay code. When we run the quarterly 941 this would reduce those wages and not include them in those earnings categories. Right now this has to be done manually which can create a chance for a error(s) when completing the 941.

Invoice approval - payment type
Would it be possible to add the payment type field to the invoice master field on the invoice approval screen? We use various payment methods - wire, ACH and checks. It would be helpful in our approval process to see that the correct payment method has been selected.

My Employee's Time Off Per Week - Widget
It looks like currently the My Employee's TIme Off Per Week widget is only programmed to look at individuals directly under the current supervisor and not the individuals underneath the people below the individuals.
Our time off requests in Skyward first go the Payroll Secretary, then the Administrator. At this time, only the Secretary has access to see all staff in their building via a quick glance of My Employee's Time Off Per Week. It would be helpful if Administrators could see all staff that they complete an approval for within the My Employee's Time Off Per Week widget (not…

Send Advice of Deposit notices to multiple vendor contacts
In this day of cyber financial attacks, it would be helpful to be able to designate at least 2 individuals who will receive advice of deposit notices. Perhaps this feature would help mitigate malicious intent?

In PAC, Reporting, Detail check history. 1) have a "look up" button. 2) be able to create folders for reports I want to keep.
1) I save a lot of reports in Detail Check History. It would be nice to have a "lookup" feature, so I don't have to scroll through all of them. i.e. ones starting with a "T". 2) It would be very helpful to have folders where I can save & store reports for future reference. i.e. for Audits. Then I do not have to re-create them. But then they are also not cluttering the rest of my reports. Or also to have folders for reports I run every pay day--have them all together in one folder. Kind of like "saved…
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. We've reviewed it and have the following suggestions to try instead:
(1) On the Web, the Vendor Check History has a lookup feature.
(2) We've heard from other Skyward customers that they use a prefix on the report description for grouping reports, this would also help when using the lookup feature on the Web.
(3) On the Web, you can schedule Reports, this is one solution to implement for the reports you run daily.
Thank you!

Super User/ Administrator
A super user or administrator should be able to access, delete, or modify anything that is needed no matter what. There are several instances where administrators need to login under the individual user to make changes and this should not need to be done.
1 voteSkyward recommends using proper segregation of duties for the best internal controls with one super user per database. This ensures that multiple people do not have too much unauthorized access. Please check with your auditor to review best practices for internal controls.

Professional Development Request - option to display WI PI 34 Standards or no
We are Using Professional Development to track our Talent Development credits locally for moving along the matrix - it would be nice to be able to not display the WI PI34 standards on the Pre-Approval credit request as it does not apply to how we are using this part of the module.

What action would you expect to take from a Fast Track Widget? For example, the Requisition Widget allows users to approve/deny requisitions.
If you’re looking for a quick, direct link to Fast Track, we suggest adding it to your “Favorites.”

Augmentation of the current API dataset which is available
We would like to leverage an API to facilitate our identity automation lifecycle. Currently we are using a direct DB connection which works fine, however our IAM vendor would like to pivot to an API based system. There is data available on the Student side, but not much (if any) seemingly available on the HR/Finance side.

Add "Approve and Re-route" option in invoice approval.
Our A/P Specialist enters invoices, which then come to me for final approval. I would like to be able to route them to someone else for approval after I verify the accounting code.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
We suggest trying this alternative solution:
Add everyone who needs to approve certain accounts as level 3 approvers and then send them an email whenever an account is used that one of them needs to approve so they can go look at the invoice.
We will continue to research the feasibility of adding a more streamlined approve and re-route option to the system. We will keep this Idea open for continued support by the Skyward user community.

Tab function work across all accounts(same with Jornal Entries)
when user is entering cash receipts...enters account strips and pressing tabs will select account and tab to details when using account strips with A however tab function doesn't work when using account strips with Type R or Type E.
Think it may be a programmatic function of the tab function error message that says account doesn't exist but it does and you can see it in the drop down box ...just not selected when tab key is pressed.

We need your help understanding this request. Could you explain what you are currently doing exactly in the system and what you would expect?
Some screenshots would also be helpful to visualize what you are explaining.
