  1. language

    Could we add Language in Employee Access as a field that connects to the Language field in Profile? And, also make it a field that an employee can request to change?

  2. Time Off Options

    Since I have to do the calculation manually I take the number of days worked divided by the total days available to work that month and multiply the number of leave hours to be awarded for sick leave.
    IE 10 days worked/23 days available to be worked that month = .4347826086956522 / 11 sick hours leave available for accrual for an 8 hr employee = 4.78 or rounded to 4.75 Sick Leave Hours for that month.

    • I know that is a complex calculation as we have paras that only work 7.5 hrs and only earn 10 Sick Leave Hours.

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea.


    Can you help me understand this idea better? 

    How often are you doing these manual calculations? Is there periods during the school year that you need to run these calculations more often than others?


    Could you explain what would you expect the system to do differently to help with your calculations?


    Thank you!

  3. Reset All in Account Management

    The ability to "Reset All" filters in the accounts screens instead of resetting each individually. I have to scroll back and forth to make sure there are no other items with a filter on when I want to do a new search.

  4. Under SBAA it would be nice to be able to print a group of check detail reports individually

    Currently I can print a report under check request report. But it prints all of the checks in the range on one sheet. It would be SO HELPFUL if it gave us the option to print each check report separately rather than as a group

  5. Requisition/Purchase Order comparison

    We need a report to compare the prior year's purchase order totals by group to the current year's requisition totals by by group. For example, you can see that 1st grade spent $1,200 this year and then you can see that they have requisitioned $1,300 for next year. This would greatly help to be able to compare the information for reasonableness from year to year. It would be ideal for the information to be available to the approvers in the requisition approval screen. Attached are excel versions of a report that I created

  6. Expand Pay Record Import to include Benefits/Deductions for Existing Pay plus Funding Allocation for the New Assignment

    Within Human Resources > Payroll > Assignment Export/Payroll Import (WH\PA\AE), On the export/import screen there are 2 options for importing pay records. There is an issue when exporting/importing multiple assignments with the same pay code during the same fiscal year. The first option imports the correct funding but drops most of the benefits and deductions. The second option imports the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing pay records, but prorates the funding allocations from both assignments and creates split funding. I would like to request a combination of the two:

    Import the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing…

  7. pseudo approval

    When looking at historical pseudo approvals , we would be nice to know if the employee requested for a set amount or a percentage. We can see that they requested a deduction amount but we can't confirm if they wanted a set amount or a percentage withheld. (checking to see if we set it up correctly) Just a letter like "P" for percentage next to the word deduction - would be helpful.

  8. Add School Year to Requests Waiting for Approval View

    I would like to request that a column be added to the Requests Waiting for Approval screen to show the School Year that the approval is for. The data is available on the request, but users need to drill into the details currently in order to see it. Having it on the main view screen would allow our users to be more efficient.

  9. Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience

    We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.

  10. Invoice approval - payment type

    Would it be possible to add the payment type field to the invoice master field on the invoice approval screen? We use various payment methods - wire, ACH and checks. It would be helpful in our approval process to see that the correct payment method has been selected.

  12. Professional Development Request - option to display WI PI 34 Standards or no

    We are Using Professional Development to track our Talent Development credits locally for moving along the matrix - it would be nice to be able to not display the WI PI34 standards on the Pre-Approval credit request as it does not apply to how we are using this part of the module.

  15. Tab function work across all accounts(same with Jornal Entries)

    when user is entering cash receipts...enters account strips and pressing tabs will select account and tab to details when using account strips with A however tab function doesn't work when using account strips with Type R or Type E.

    Think it may be a programmatic function of the tab function error message that says account doesn't exist but it does and you can see it in the drop down box ...just not selected when tab key is pressed.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. Select Fields under Employee Access, Employee Profile, Employee for Administrative Team to view.

    I have the administrative team set up under employee access to view employee profile and emergency contact. Under the employee profile, the identification numbers appear and I would like to see an option that this would not be available for a group. There is no reason the administrative team needs this information and just one more way that fraud with social security numbers could happen. It is a great feature for all the other information available for them, but no need for the identification numbers. Please consider this and keep me updated on your decision. Thank you and stay healthy…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback in order to better understand what you expect in the system.

    How is your administrative team set up under security?
    What exactly would you like your Administrative Employees to view under Employee Profile, ex: which tabs, which fields?
    What fields can they currently view that you would like to hide?
    Have you already verified that these fields can’t be controlled under a confidentiality setting?
    Have you already submitted a Service Call to our Skyward Customer Consulting and Service Department to assist with setting this up?

    Thank you!
