1. Add a custom browse view for assignments

   There are currently on 2 views that we use staff payroll and staff assignments. We would like to create a custom view because there are fields in each one that are unique. We would like to see all the fields in both available for a custom view and we can filter on. Also we need to see more then just 2 accounts. We would dump this report to excel and all the account codes could show then for us.

   More options and flexibility on fields and more then just 2 account codes to show. We use this information in our budgets and our finance director needs this information in different ways. This type of report would be a lot easier to set up then setting up many different data mining reports.

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

   Could you detail which fields specifically you’d expect to see on the browse?

   Would up to 4 accounts be adequate, or would you expect to see more than 4 accounts?

   Thank you!

2. Notes' option in profile needs reporting options

   I use the Notes option in both Web and PaC profile to record any payroll changes that need to occur. There are hree issues with this:

   1. Program does not allow me record the date as of when I need to make the change.

   2. When reporting on these notes it sorts by 'Create Date' rather than the date I need to make the change.

   3. Options need to be added to sort the notes by Occurrence Date or Implementation Date rather than by Create Date.

   4. The option would be more functional if user could define to report in 'Expected Date' or 'Implementation Date' order rather than in 'Create Date' order. I record payroll changes that need to occur in the future but when I report I get them by Create Date which means I have to sort through and pick the ones out of many that I need to change for this payroll.

   Try this Instead  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

   Thank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest that you try this instead:

   Create a Custom Form for Note by individual. If you make it as a multi form, you could add more as needed for history or you could use a single form and remove after they have updated what they needed. You are able to include an “Implementation Date” (WH\EP\PS\CF\CF\MS)

   Next, create a Data Mining Report. You will be able to run the report by “Implementation Date” and see the notes associated.

   Thank you,

3. Calendar Codes need to include 1/2 days

   When setting up calendars for employees we need to be able to enter a 1/2 work day for employees. Currently the system only recognizes full days. We use Employee Management and if I put in all the 1/2 days as full days Employee Management does not calculate the salary correctly (because the day count is over stated). The True Time schedule is able to recognize a half day so when an employee puts in a 1/2 sick day on a true 1/2 day it should show the sick hours correctly but it does not because it is showing a full day and even if the employee is only taking a 1/2 day off.
   Please allow the calendars to accept a 1/2 day for employees.

   Thank you for submitting this request. We’ve researched implementing the request based on the information supplied. Going forward, we are not considering this request for development.

4. EXPORT TO EXCEL DATE NEEDED

   It would be nice if there was a date you could enter when looking at history to only export from that date forward. This is available on a lot of the screens in PAC where the export to excel option is.
   
   This would save time waiting on years of data exporting.

5. Multiple building fields on Personnel tab

   It would be very helpful to show all buildings if an employee actually works at more than one location on the Personnel tab. If we had a primary building and alternate buildings showing it would be great to have these new fields available in Data Mining. Users now run building reports in DM but the employee may not be on their list since it does not appear in Personnel as the "main" building so the report is not accurate. We want them to be able to see all their buildings at a glance on the main screen. his could even be offered in fields that a user could choose on the Customize row above the Personnel/Employee Information area.

   Thank you for submitting and voting on this Idea. We’ve spent some time here at Skyward doing research for this request and have determined after a thorough analysis that we will not be pursing this development.

   We discovered, that if we add multiple buildings to the employee profile, this change would create large ramifications. Building is found in many places throughout the system and the effort, impact and risk to update is not something we will be able to address at this time.

   We recommend using Employee Management Data Mining to report on Employees and all their Assigned Buildings.

   In Data Mining use Assignment as the Driver Table, In Field Areas select Position, and under Position select Position Building Code, Position Building state, and Position Building Desc. To report on all buildings associated with an Employee.

   Thank you!

6. Edit the default flag on Employee Assignment

   In discussing an issue in automating Active Directory record creation from Skyward the problem of staff assigned to multiple schools was identified. As Active Directory should only have a single record for a user a way to select the correct record of the multiple assignments that a staff member user could have in a year is needed. One suggestion was to make the current HPMASN-ASSIGNMENTS.HPMASN-PRIMARY-X field accessible in the UI so Personnel could make this determination of the primary 'home' assignment in these cases. The SIF agent could then pick this up for use in creating a single active directory record for the user at the correct building.
   As the value already exists in the database a field would just need to be added in the user interface to allow this to be selected on creation of a new user or edited on change of assignment. This field should be required to ensure that it is populated as a number of other processes could be driven from this attribute in a district.

7. Staff assignment screen - View Add on button

   1) When you view a staff assignment we need a View button on the Add-on screen that will open up the Add-on maintenance window. Currently there is no View button available. In order to view the information we have to go through Edit Staff Assignment and then Edit the Add-ons.

   2) On the Add-on screen the Amount we see is the Calculated/Add-on amount - a prorated amount based on Calculated FTE. When we make assignment changes we need to be able to see the actual add-on salary amount. If one were to inadvertently use this value on a new assignment it would be a twice prorated amount resulting in an overpayment. It's not a field that necessarily needs to be replaced on the main Add-on screen but if the Entered Salary Amount could be added as well that'd be a big help.
