Pre-populate pay period/payroll dates
When doing the payroll processing, you need to enter the payroll date, posting date, pay period, etc all manually. These dates could easily be automatically filled in. the way I would suggest to do this is to use the "Run Numbers" that are currently in the payroll system and just add some additional settings that would like you select the frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc). Based on the frequency selected and a calendar the system could determine what the dates would be. This would help everyone that does payroll to be more efficient and less likely to have a typing…

My Employee's Time Off Per Week - Widget
It looks like currently the My Employee's TIme Off Per Week widget is only programmed to look at individuals directly under the current supervisor and not the individuals underneath the people below the individuals.
Our time off requests in Skyward first go the Payroll Secretary, then the Administrator. At this time, only the Secretary has access to see all staff in their building via a quick glance of My Employee's Time Off Per Week. It would be helpful if Administrators could see all staff that they complete an approval for within the My Employee's Time Off Per Week widget (not…

Import applications from third party applications
Many employers take advantage of posting positions to sites such as Indeed, Career Builder, and college recruiting sites such as Handshake, Simplicity, etc.
It would be great to have those resumes/applications transfer to FastTrack.

Send Advice of Deposit notices to multiple vendor contacts
In this day of cyber financial attacks, it would be helpful to be able to designate at least 2 individuals who will receive advice of deposit notices. Perhaps this feature would help mitigate malicious intent?

Invoice Entry Enter through all sections
When going through the data entry in the invoice add screen on web, you can hit "Enter" to go to the next option EXCEPT the "Status" option. Then if you want to continue keying, you have to switch to TAB to the next option. I would just like to continue to "Enter" through all the options for ease of use using the numberpad.

Comments section - Personnel Tab
The comments section under Employee - Personnel should be separate from the Vendor Comment section. This is a security issue.

Ability to RE-NAME rate table codes in Sub Tracking
We would like to RE-NAME some of our rate table codes in Sub Tracking. In other areas of the software I rename deduction/benefit/pay codes/Employee Management Plans with a "Z" in front of it, so that it doesn't even appear in my browse. Thank you for your consideration. I submitted SC 4911174 and it's not available and they suggested submitting an idea.
5 votesThank you for submitting this idea.
The Rate Tables are a combination of Employee Type & Sub Type. Have you tried changing the Employee Type Code and/or the Sub Type Code to re-name one of the rate table codes in Sub Tracking?
Thank you.

In PAC, Reporting, Detail check history. 1) have a "look up" button. 2) be able to create folders for reports I want to keep.
1) I save a lot of reports in Detail Check History. It would be nice to have a "lookup" feature, so I don't have to scroll through all of them. i.e. ones starting with a "T". 2) It would be very helpful to have folders where I can save & store reports for future reference. i.e. for Audits. Then I do not have to re-create them. But then they are also not cluttering the rest of my reports. Or also to have folders for reports I run every pay day--have them all together in one folder. Kind of like "saved…
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. We've reviewed it and have the following suggestions to try instead:
(1) On the Web, the Vendor Check History has a lookup feature.
(2) We've heard from other Skyward customers that they use a prefix on the report description for grouping reports, this would also help when using the lookup feature on the Web.
(3) On the Web, you can schedule Reports, this is one solution to implement for the reports you run daily.
Thank you!

Super User/ Administrator
A super user or administrator should be able to access, delete, or modify anything that is needed no matter what. There are several instances where administrators need to login under the individual user to make changes and this should not need to be done.
1 voteSkyward recommends using proper segregation of duties for the best internal controls with one super user per database. This ensures that multiple people do not have too much unauthorized access. Please check with your auditor to review best practices for internal controls.

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.

Add a Budgetary Data Mining Report under employee widgets
Add under the "select widget" the ability to display Data Mining Reports. Teachers and Adminstration would love a quick link to their reports on one screen.
3 votesThank you for submitting this request.
Widgets typically allow for a specific action to be taken while using it. For example, the requisition widget allows users to approve/deny requisitions. What action would you expect your employees to be taking with a Budgetary Data Mining widget?
We suggest employees who use Budgetary Data Mining that want a quick link to the area “Favorite” it for quick access.

Sick leave bank check box in Employee Access
Add the option to display the sick leave bank check box in Employee Access
2 votesThank you for submitting this idea request. We have a clarifying question before we can proceed reviewing it:
We need to better understand what you want the checkbox to do. Do you this checkbox to pull from the sick bank profile with the HR side? Or, do you want to donate time to the sick bank?

Need to Update Multiple True Time Rule Sets at the Same Time
When updating timesheets (HR\PA\CP\TT) each rule set must be updated one at a time. This is extremely time consuming. We need a "select all" option, or some way to update multiple time sheets at the same time. We can then run reports to find any discrepancies, rather than trying to review each individual rule set before updating.
19 votesThank you to those of you in the Skyward community who responded to the call for feedback. Your feedback and additional details provided are helpful to use while researching this request. We will continue to research the ability to make this update in PaC.

Increase number of entries in the Employment History in Fast Track
Our district is in great need of having the number of entries in the Employment History in the Fast Trak application open to additional entries as needed by the applicant. Currently, there are only four entries possible, and this forces applicants to decide which four, of the many they may have, to post for the position application. Additionally, this forces the use of an external form that can be difficult for the applicant to locate. Although a field is designated in the Attachments area, there is no guarantee the applicant will upload the needed document as opposed to any document…
2 votesWe recommend this alternative solution:
(1) Add a new attachment for “Full Employment History” [WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AD](2) Add it to the necessary attachment lists used in job listings. Note it will automagically alert all of the current applicants that they need to update their open applications [ WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL]
(3) To avoid confusion (optional), turn off the normal Employment History in the affected job listings [WH\AD\FT\PP\PB]
(4) Other Skyward districts have done something similar. They’ve added a Fast Track Config with attachments where they link attachments through JavaScript [WH\AD\FT\MC\PS\CF\DM]
(5) So that required attachments display at the footer for every applicant (If a district wants a specific Full Employment History Template, they could provide one to their applicants here).
(6) An additional benefit to setting up Fast Track this way is that if attachments are used for employment history, that gets moved over to profile from Fast Track. Be sure to set…

Augmentation of the current API dataset which is available
We would like to leverage an API to facilitate our identity automation lifecycle. Currently we are using a direct DB connection which works fine, however our IAM vendor would like to pivot to an API based system. There is data available on the Student side, but not much (if any) seemingly available on the HR/Finance side.

Please go to our Skyward Partner’s Portal and complete the request for vendor API.
