  1. Add a date range selection to the Credit Card Transaction Board Report

    The format of the Credit Card Transaction Board Report is a much cleaner report to give to our Board, but I am not able to pull the report for just the transactions that need approval at the monthly board meeting. There needs to be a date range selection, import date range selection, or batch number selection.

  2. Add lockout warning to log in page

    Add a warning to the login page so employees know they will be locked out after 3 failed attempts. I get multiple requests to unlock accounts each day, because people don't know they will be locked out. They just keep trying over and over again. It would be nice if they were instructed to click the Forgot Password link.

  3. Snapshot of what a fund looked like based upon a specific date

    Our SBOA auditors have been asking us for a "snapshot" of our Federal Funds based upon a specific date of their choosing. This currently isn't possible because everything is like a living document in Skyward. So if we need to reproduce a data mining report from a prior date (say 8-31-19 for example) to verify something such as our reimbursement request for August expenditures will never be correct or the same as it was from 8-31-19 due to activity throughout the following months. We should be able to print the same report we did from a year ago and get…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!

    We’re looking for clarity on this idea: Is this idea requesting an update to the reporting capabilities or does it deal more with the fact that if you backdate something we don’t have a tracker field in Data Mining to indicate that the transaction was backdated?

    Thank you for your feedback!

  4. Vendor Req, PO's, Inv, Checks button screen selection

    I regularly use the Req, PO's, Inv, Check button in Vendor Browse. Please allow us to clone and organize the columns as to what is most pertinent to the user. I would also like o see the po number used if the invoice was entered this way.

  5. Wire Transfer Reference # Set Up

    When setting up Wire Transfer Reference # for new fiscal year - allow the district to edit the first four digits to a larger number. With the start of the 20-21 SY - our ACH & Wire Transfer number both begin in the 20xxxxxxx digits which will make it more difficult to recognize whether a voucher is an ACH payment or a Wire Transfer payment. We use Wire Transfer numbers for all of our p-card payments.

  6. Calendar Code Mass Change

    With Calendar Code Mass Change it would be super helpful, and TIME saving, to either be able to mass change multiple calendars at the same time or, better yet, have it be part of the update from payroll process so that we can do both at the same time.

  7. change the default setting on Create Prenotification download file

    Change the default setting from no to yes where you are asked if you want to exclude inactive employees. It is illogical that you would default that setting to NO.

  8. add-on reporting

    Add-on codes need to use the state code defined to report Florida additional compensation information. If you don't use the pay-code of the assignment the hourly rate calculation is inaccurate which means the additional paycode tab is of no value because of the wrong rate. Another option if different paycode values must be maintained is to have a check-box that says these codes should be included in the calculation of hourly rate when transferring to the additional paycodes. If this option is used, it needs to also follow the additional pay code screen and allow a box to mark so…

  9. Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information

    Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information and Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Applications by Position|View Applications|View Application Information. We are currently usingFileBound's Connect to store all of our HR documentation. We integrate on the Employee ID. This would allow our hiring managers to review current employee applicants' HR records without having to make a trip to the central office.
    This has already been added to Human Resources|Employee Administration|FastTrack|Applicants|Application Information, but our Hiring Managers do not have rights to this area. Please see attached.

  11. Add Mass Change Assignment Breakdown utility to SN

  14. Modify screens in SBAA and Purchasing

    It would be great if we could modify our screens to better fit our needs. LIke deleting rows that aren't fitting our needs. Currenlty in purchasing you can modify and find your modifications under CLONES but there is no ability in SBAA to do the same. And rather than cloning I just want to remove columns

    We are looking for more information on this:


    1. Are you referring to the ability to modify the view of the browse and what information displays?

    2. What information are you looking to adjust, and under which menu paths? (Check Requests, Cash Receipts, Journal Entries, Purchase Orders?)

    3. How does this change affect your day to day duties?


    This idea will remain open for further input from the Skyward Community.

  19. Requesting Time Off for a Specific Fiscal Year/From that Specific Year's Allocations

    We would like to suggest that Time Off can be requested for a specified fiscal year. Example: current school year is 2022-2023 and the employee has a scheduled trip during the 2023-2024 (following) school year. We would like the employee to have the option to select the calendar year to submit their request from 'that fiscal year's time off allocations' (not the current year's allocations).
