  1. Online Leave Requests-Employee Positions

    It would be great if there was an ability to input employees positions/locations when submitting leave requests. Currently only the employee name shows up and has no other identifying info like if they are a teacher or aide, which school they work at, etc. As the person who finds their subs, I have to have a staff chart handy from year to year now, so I can look up what an employee does, if they haven't told me in the description. IF they remember to tag me on the request and it comes to my inbox, I can see which…

  2. When "importing benefits from pay records" in SN, is it possible not to wipe out _Vacant employees manually entered benefits?

    I create a Subs & Extra hours plan that I use each year for budgeting purposes in SN. This year I noticed when I combined my EM active plan and my SN Subs & Extra Hours plan into a SN Combined Budget plan and then imported benefits from pay records, it wiped out the _Vacant benefits from the plan. Then when I Generated Plan Detail, no benefit amounts were calculated for _Vacant positions.

  3. Annual Reimbursement Limits

    Allow for annual reimbursement limits. Example: Each year teacher's can receive up to $50 reimbursed for dues/professional membership fees. In Skyward, you can set a limit on the reimbursement type of $50, however that does not stop a teacher from being able to submit multiple requests of $50.

  4. When Using the Tardy Kiosk, have option to NOT ALLOW a Tardy Kiosk entry from overwriting Already Entered Attendance

    There's no way to tell the Tardy Kiosk to not overwrite attendance codes already entered in attendance. So if there is an entry in attendance, and a student punches in at the tardy kiosk, that entry overwrites the attendance code already there.

  5. Provide the ability for users to elect to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report

    With this report being generated and possibly sent to employees with no need to see SSN, it would be great if could to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report. Similar functionality exists elsewhere in the software and it makes sense to add it here as well.

  6. Employee Access/Ethnicity

    When allowing employees to change their Ethnicity in Employee Access, instead of Hispanic/Latino?, two separate boxes would be most beneficial. One box that states Hispanic Latino and another that states Non Hispanic/Latino

  7. Add district option to hide Credit Card number from Credit Card Trans Rpt

    Currently there is a option on the Credit Card Transaction Report screen to show the card number as a Full Number, Last Four Digits or Do Not Display. We'd like a district option to remove the choice of displaying the Full Number on the Credit Card Transaction Report. We instruct staff, with access to this, to choose either "last four digits" or "do not display", but they can select the "full number" option. To add a layer of security we would like to remove this option for all users in our district. WP\AP\CC\RE\CT

  10. Detailed Reports by GLN

    In the past, I have always manually reclassed my liablities from GLN 206 to GLN 210 (due to other districts), 212 (due to other govn) and 220 (contracts payable). This year, I thought I would set the system up to book automatically to the correct GLN's. I was able to successfully do so, but then for the life of me, could not get a report to show the detail I booked to each liability account. I was on the phone with support for one full hour to no avail. I now have to manually go back through the list to…

  12. Remove the link to "Forgot your Login/Password?" link on rwetru09.html (True Time) login page.

    Would it be possible to have the ability to remove the link to "Forgot your Login/Password?" link on rwetru09.html (True Time) login page and keep the link on the regular Skyward login page? Since we are using Access Code Only for login to True Time, the forgot login is a bit confusing for some users.

  13. Separate cascading group codes in Employee Access

    Cascading group codes should not be grouped together in "My Time Off Status". When they are lumped together it is difficult for the employee to know how much time of each code they have remaining. Yes, they can drill down to see the balances, but in my experience they do not. Per our policy employees must take PTO before they can take sick leave and we have a cascading group set up for this. Therefore, in our case employees use all their PTO and don't always know it because the available balance still includes the sick leave. When they are…

  14. Edit Expense Reimbursement Code Name

    The ability to edit expense reimbursement code names. We track mileage between sites, and it would be nice to change so the codes from one school are all grouped together. It would be nice to change the name to allow this for users to find codes easier.

  15. Worksheets

    I am requesting that worksheets be changed back to the original format before the recent update (last couple of weeks). You have moved the "master" & "detail" columns which I think is confusing. Also, now on the "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master", it is in some sort of Skyward format which cannot be changed. I can no longer see both the amount and the factor which is necessary. I can move the arrow on the bottom, but then the name disappears. Not sure why this change was made........

    Also, for the report for the worksheet entries, when I print out…

  16. "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master" the viewing order has changed due to an update.

    Payroll Worksheet Screen on the right side "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master" the viewing order has changed. I'm told this is due to the recent update. This is where we quickly double check our entries. Can you please bring back or allow us to change the view on the Detail for Selected Worksheet. We need to view Name, Factor Hours, pay code and amount.

  17. To include entire PO numbers on Invoices. Right now if a PO starts with a zero, the leading zeros are being left off.

    Our PO's start with our entity numbers, however when they are printed on Invoices the leading zeros are being left off. For Example one entity is 001 and so when the PO number shows up on the Invoice it starts with 1 instead of showing 001.

  20. budget requistions

    I want to be able to clone the entire prior year budget requisitions at one time. Currently the clone option is only for an individual prior year budget requisition to clone. A mass clone option would be very helpful!
