  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. "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.

  6. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. PBIS Model

    Where would an administrator enter in positive behavior for students. Even though skyward calls the discipline area PBIS, there is technically no area to add positive behaviors anywhere.

  11. FastTrack - Enter or Modify Scores

    When a screener selects "Enter or Modify Scores" for an application, the comments and notes cannot be seen by HR Admins. HR Admin can see the question and score, but not the comments/notes. HR Admin should be able to see all data entered by screeners.

  12. Add Detail Line Description in Vendor Check History Reports

    When submitting check requests through the web there is a space for "Detail Line Description" where a user can input a more detailed description than the Invoice Description. When running a Vendor Check History report the only description that shows is the Invoice Description. There is no option to add the Detail Line Description in the field selection. Could the Detail Line Description be added in the field selection where it would show the Detail Line Description if there is one and if there is no Detail Line Description (PAC entered invoices) then it would just show the Invoice Description?

  17. Michigan passed PMLA (Paid Medical Leave Act) effective 3/29/19

    Need to be able to track non union employees who will accrue sick time. An eligible employee earns 1 hour of paid medical leave for every 35 hours they work. I wish it were that simple. As with any Act that is passed there are other stipulations that go along with this. An employee is not eligible for benefits under the PMLA if he/she averages fewer than 25 hrs per week in the immediately preceding calendar year or if he/she is employed for fewer than 25 weeks in a calendar year for a job scheduled for 25 weeks or fewer.

    Our State Compliance Department assured this functionality already exists to allocate this time in Skyward SMS 2.0:
    1. Customer should be able to create a new Time Off Code and have it Accrue if they are qualified.
    2. Time Off Code will have to be created with a code of PMLA or something to that sort
    3. Districts will have to keep track of individuals who work 35 or more hours per week to be eligible to accrue an hour of PMLA,

  18. create date

    Fixed Asset has a field call "Create Date". This field needs to be populated for all records regardless of how the record is created. Would greatly improve the ability to search for errors when you know that something happened within a date range.

  20. Update as to the new Federal requirement ESSA

    It was my understanding that Skyward was working on this programming update to add an additional digit to the current 3 digit building code. This mandatory update is to take effect starting 7/1/18. Appreciate any update as to progress in this federal requirement.
