  1. Time Off Calendar selection in Profile [Web]

    would really love it if the ability to change years when selecting the time off calendar was formatted like it is when you are in the TRS Calculate New member payment date section. the way we do it now is cumbersome by opening it, selecting the filter, finding the calendar, etc. this would make it much more efficient for the times when you need to add or change a calendar manually [which can be often]. thank you for your consideration.

  2. Fixed Asset Addition report

    On the additions report, the date Skyward uses is the Record date. This date should be the Date in Service record found on the Depreciation tab.

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    We have evaluated the request. Our biggest consideration is that not everyone uses depreciation, so there is not always going to be a Date in Service to use. Changing the report could have a negative impact on many of Skyward users.

    Thank you.

  3. Account numbers on receipt total report

    We would like the Receipt Totals Report to include the revenue account detail. Currently, the only report we found that gives the revenue account for the accounting department is the receipt totals report. We would also like it to print on the receipt totals page. Thanks for considering.

  4. Mass Change Utilities

    Utilities that have the ability to mass delete entries (particular example is placement tracker) obviously have the ability to find all the data affected by that particular entry. Instead of having to delete entries and roll back processes to reenter processes due to a miskeying of information, allow the utility to edit the trackers instead.

  5. Notification when PO gets approved

    It would be nice to have an option to send an email to whoever is in charge of doing the ordering of newly approved purchase orders. For example, I do the ordering, but I am not part of the approval process. When a requisition finishes getting the approvals it moves into a batch purchase order. Currently someone has to tell me that the purchase order is out there or I have to physically go check if there is something new. Most people assume that I am notified, but I am not so new purchase orders can sit out in batch…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We suggest trying this instead:

    (1) A Requisition/PO Listing report template can be created for just Batch status POs (WF\PU\RP\RP).

    (2) After the report is executed, from My Print Queue, select the report and press the Tasks button.

    (3) On the next screen there is a Schedule This button to create a scheduled task for the report.

    Please see attached screenshots for visual examples.

    Thank you!

  6. FASTTRACK - DATA MINING - YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FIELD

    Would like to be able to select the Years of Experience from the Available Fields on the Field Selection screen in the FastTrack Applicant Processing DataMining.

    When viewing Applications from the Position screen, one of the views is Years Of Experience. I would like to be able to pull that information in FastTrack Applicant Processing DataMining.

    Fasttrack Years of Experience is available in Data Mining. Please see attached screenshot.

    The Non-Profile Years of Experience located at the bottom of the Config are not included in Data Mining, and this is specifically called out in the Config, see second screenshot.

  7. Online registration 2 emails for staff

    On online registration there should be an option for at least 2 staff email addresses to send the notification that an Online registration has been submitted. We have 7 schools in our district and more than 1 person needs to be notified when an Online Registration is submitted. I can have a notification go to 2 people in the NSOE when an Application submitted. This seems like it would be a really easy fix.

  8. Import detail for budget entry (not Payroll from Salary Negotiations)

    It would be great to be able to export and import detail budget line items into budget entry (not just budget numbers but the details). Ex: Pencils $500, Paper $1,000, etc.

  11. Allow more than 5 accounts to be used in the Skybuild import

    Right now, the Skybuild import with the Requisition Detail/Account type only allows for 5 accounts. Please allow for 10 accounts like the other imports.

  13. rich content editor

    The message center needs a huge improvement. Think about including rich text editor like MS Outlook or perhaps like MailChimp or MailerLite. Think about drag and drop editor, coding, and insert pictures instead of limiting to attach only. The current toolbar editor has no flexibility to create a nice layout for our parents and students when sending out messages to them.

  14. Employee Profile in the credit section. It would be nice to see a dollar amount for tuition reimbursement so we can data mine and track.

    A extra field to add the tuition reimbursement amount to track and monitor if the employee owes us back if they leave and other uses.

  16. 1099-NEC SHOULD BE STATE SPECIFIC

    I have two ideas.. one is PA specific.. When processing the 1099 and creating the files for uploading.. for PA you need to check the box in the area where it says DON'T CHECK THIS BOX UNLESS TOLD TO DO SO.. well I spent a DAY not realizing that for PA upload this box MUST BE CHECKED.. screen should indicate clearIy which states need to have this box checked and 2) I happen to only have 1099s for PA and occasionally NJ, but that is another issue to look at: I bet other SKYWARD users also
    not only have issues…

  17. Mass Custom Forms

    It would be very helpful to be able to mass write custom forms to multiple students or to automatically create a custom form in each student's profile every time mass emails/messages are sent. The custom form settings could be in the settings for the message/email as well.

  18. Enhance the DOE Staff Survey 2 and 3 Build for the Salary Schedule Pay Type Extract Method

    We have employees on a Salary Matrix and have employees that we enter their salary (because of a Range not associated with a Salary Matrix in Skyward). In the DOE Staff Survey 2 and 3 Build, I continue getting over 50 employees with the error of "Grandfathered Sal Sched Pay Ind invalid" for the Staff Payroll Information, because I chose using "Skyward Pay Lane State Code". Need a way to accommodate the "Enter Salary Amount" when the Extract is running to put a crosswalk.

    Thank you for submitting this product idea.

    We met with our Florida State Reporting Department to review State Compliance regulations.

    At this time, we are not considering it for development. However, this idea will remain open for ongoing review and voting by other districts to show support of this idea.

    Thank you.

  19. Vendor different type(s)

  20. Insurance and fingerprinting information for vendors added to profile

    Would like to have a box for different insurance date (IE workers comp, liability and auto insurance). Also somewhere to put date of fingerprinting is done. Also to have the ability to pull the information in a report so when vendor packets need to be redone you do not have to go through every vendor.
