  2. Add header option to display on Invoice Import

    It would be nice to be able to keep your headers in the invoice import spreadsheet rather than deleting it to do the import.

  3. Custom Form Date field

    I would like the ability to use a date on a custom form without the day of the week showing up. I have to create a form with 26 date fields and the day of the week takes up a lot of real estate and it is not necessary

  4. ACA 1095 Processing

    An employee accidently key a social in place of the last name. It run all the way through the process. When the file was sent to the IRS it was rejected with a TPE1024 error, after examining the xml file I determined that when Skyward created the xml file the numbers were deleted from the SSN leaving 2 dashes (--) the IRS flags this as a potential SQL injection attack. This error should have been caught at some point before it was sent to the IRS

  5. Add field to Position - Assignment Mass Change Utility in Employee Administration

    We have a separate supplement plan in our system. There are many times when our teachers are receiving a supplement/bonus (Best and Brightest - Florida) or a one time pay enhancement supplement that every teacher will have the same account distribution. It would be nice to have an account distribution field in Position-Assignment Mass Change Utility to add the account distribution without having to touch each position control.

  6. gender identity

    We are looking to prepare for a changing demographic with Gender Identity. This is currently a field offered in Utah (Utah PR 4112260) but I am located in Pennsylvania. Can we add this for all states so that it is not an issue where we can't use the system to track our employee data? Yes, I can create a custom form but this should be something we can do within the system we have on the demographic side.

  7. TruTime Hourly Calcualtion on Timesheet

    Good Morning:
    When submitting weekly time sheets, when time off has been approved and added to time sheets and employee's regular hours are also included in the weekly calculation. Please see attached example. There we 24 Paid Off Hours and 16 Worked Hours but the when going in to approved weekly timesheet it totaled 64 hours rather then 40. Employees then need to go into their timesheets and delete the regularly scheduled hours prior to submitting their time sheet. Once time off is approved, shouldn't the TruTime autiomatically recalculated the employee's timesheet to reflect the correct number of hours worked.…

  8. Post user training guides that are editable.

    User guides should be posted to the PDC in a format that allows customization. For example, post the user guides in Word so that generic, multi purpose screenshots may be replaced by the organization's actual screenshots. Allow the customer to edit the user guide to best align with the organization's set-up. Most school districts seem to be creating individual training content for employees because the PDC delivered content is too generic. Thanks.

  9. Add Option to Select Additional Assignments to End when Ending Main Assignment

    Allow HR staff the option to end date additional assignments on an employee when they end the main assignment. Currently, staff has to go into each assignment to add an end date. Would be great to be able to select each assignment at once and add an end date to all.

  10. Cash Recipts - please add the Created by field in Reports under WIP

    Please add the capability to see who entered a WIP status cash receipt when you click on the reports. We are moving all of our locations from SBAA to Financial management and with no approval process in the cash receipts module, I need to verify the receipts and make budget revisions prior to posting the batch. The report tool is helpful however I have to manually write down which batch I want to select for in the report screen.

  11. We would like to see a link on the "Move to Profile" screen to show the "Reference Check".

    We have general postings that include multiple assignments to be viewed by all Principals. In looking at the Move to Profile screen it only shows the ex: Teacher label. With the link revealing the Reference Check, this will give us the ability to see what the Principal has actually assigned to the applicant on the general posting.

  12. PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import.

    PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import. We have an extra six digits so we can't use the mass merge option, but even if that weren't the case, this still seems like a good area to do an import.

  13. Budget Requisition - School year display

    When employees are entered budget requisitions, it would be so helpful if it was possible that limit their access to certain school years. This is possible when entering purchasing requisitions so it would only make sense to do this in budget requisitions. Staff get so confused. I know it is a training issue but sometimes, training is just not enough.

  14. Customized Subject Line and Body for awaiting approval emails

    Is there a way for the name of the employee submitting a transaction to show on Skyward email notifications?

    Currently, the only information received for "Credit Card transaction(s) awaiting approval" emails is the Date, Amount, and Where Used.

    Similarly, for "Check Request(s) awaiting approval" emails, would it be possible to include the username of the user who submitted the check request and/or the check request number ?

  15. Paid Special Request how it ties into the timesheet

    I would like to see it show up in a True Time timesheet, when someone has a request for Paid Special Request, that it show me WHAT option they chose tied to the PSR. Like it should say PSR, conference or PSR, PD hours. This is super confusing when trying to process timesheets. I would like it defined more within the timesheet itself.

  16. 2020 W4 box display on the PAC side without having to "edit" to see it.

    It would be nice to see the 2020 W4 box on the PAC side displayed without having to "edit". On the Web side you can see it clearly without editing. They should be the same.
