  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

    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!

  4. 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…

  5. 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…
