  1. Add Columns to Retirement Detailed Hours

    On the employee profile, the Retirement section has a part called "Detail Hrs". This section should show all things that pull into Annual report. I would add a a column that would track what WRS benefit and another column that shows the WRS deduction and another column to show what category they were recorded in. This would help that you could quickly see where an error was made and how log it was going on.

  2. Update Retirement Hour Totals Automatically

    If you make changes in the Retirement "Details Hours" for an employee it should automatically update the "Monthly Info" and the "Annual Info". If you update at a higher level, for example the monthly tab, then it should automatically update the Annual and then give you a warning reminding you to fix it in the "Detailed Hours" section. This would really help with keeping the data consistent and stop redundancies in entering corrections.

  3. UID Mass Update

    Being able to have a mass delete UID utility with parameter options would be very helpful. Currently only way to update employees in TSDS is the delete UID one by one and then be able to extract to upload to TSDS. With a UID in the profile record will not extract. The majority of our staff is still showing location from initial upload to TSDS. Or sometimes when staff return after resigning but were employed in another location, UID is still in profile due to being needed on service records. Having this type of utility would be very helpful to…

  4. Customizable Assignment Category

    It would be helpful to have a customizable category in assignments so I can name it what I want.

    Example, we have core components that have to be passed at 80% or better. If they were color coded and labeled by my terms, it would be super easy to see who I need to work with for that category in my gradebook and in reports.

  5. Custom Form Lookup Warning

    It would be great if there was a warning when you try to modify/rename a Custom Field for a custom form. I forgot that the fielc on Custom Form does not update, so it appears orphaned.

  6. Date Range Time Off Request for Partial Hours

    When an employee wants to enter a date range for time off requests and only is taking 2.5 hours per day, the date range feature cannot be used. It automatically assumes 8.0 hours are being taken. The employee must enter each day individually. Can the number of hours be added when choosing a date range for time off?

  7. Street Names

    Please add a way to clean up the "Street Name" list for addresses. It would be ideal to be able to merge the existing street name when someone has entered many varieties and spellings of the same street name.

  8. Allow applicants to change their references with every new application.

    Right now applicants can only change their references after so many days ( a year I believe) but many request to be able to change them for each application they submit. I get that request often and I can see where if they are applying for different types of jobs they may want to use different references or they may have gotten a better reference since their last application. The applicant should be able to change - update references whenever they want to.

  9. Employee Time Off Org Chart

    Org Chart in Skyward desperately needs report features and Utilities. We discovered an employee had been selected as a Self Approval and Final Approval on Time Off Org Chart, therefore bypassing the Supervisor and was allowed to enter negative time off for time they did not have. I did a service call and was told there are no reports to find out if other employees had this issue. I clicked on 900+ employees to discover 2 additional employees had this same issue. There truly needs to be better support for Org Chart.

  10. Limit custom reports under Employee Profile to those assigned to that employee

    Currently under Employee Profile, the Custom Forms tab shows all active forms, rather than the forms assigned to that particular employee. It is my understanding that under Skyward Student, there is a setting that when selected, only shows custom forms applicable to that person. It would be very helpful if we had the same option for Employee Profile.

  11. SBAA - Display "Payee Name as it Appeared" on the Check Reconciliation Screen

    Add the "Display Payee Name as it Appeared on Check" field to the SBAA Check Reconciliation screen. This will allow a more efficient workaround for creating a Positive Pay file for SBAA accounts, until SBAA functionality starts catching up with regular accounting. The user can use the Excel export to get the correct name for a full-match on their Positive Pay file.

  12. Purchase Order Printing in the Vendor Profile Section

  13. SBAA Outstanding Check List

    Create the same reports in SBAA for Account and Check Reconciliation as are available for the District level (Accounts Payable). Currently in SBAA the check reconciliation report will not pull in the correct data if you are trying to generate an Outstanding Check list either for a month in the past or if ANY checks have been cleared in the current month prior to running the Bank Reconciliation. This functionality is available in Accounts Payable.

  14. The Ability to Choose the Bank for Benefit and Deduction AP Claims Created During Payroll

    In Indiana, most of us are probably utilize the consolidated fund set up for our AP claims created during a payroll process due to the number of funds Indiana has. There needs to be a way to allow us to choose more than one bank account for all of these AP claims to be paid from. Currently all of ours are set up to be paid from our payroll bank. However, all of our FICA, Medicare, PERF, TRF, AUL, VALIC, Health Ins benefits are ACH'd from our AP bank. The only way to make our scenario work is to 1)…

  17. Make Custom Forms alphabetical rather than based on when you create it

    Make custom forms A-Z vs. when they are created.. Very difficult to find your form when it is not alphabetized

  19. Make 'notes' in the Vendor and Account Management areas reportable.

    When using the 'notes' in both A/P and Account Management to notate an error, it would be nice to be able to see these notes when a report is printed. Make the 'notes' a data-mineable field. Using the 'notes' to "correct" an error in the description or adding to the description after something has been posted does no good if it can't be seen when the information is printed in a report....the information still looks incorrect or incomplete.

  20. Ability to edit the description line once posted.

    In auditing reports, an A/P entry may have been entered correctly with the correct account number, but the description may not have gotten changed from a prior entry and was missed when checking the entries before posting. It would be nice to be given access to just this area (the description) to be able to edit the descripton after the fact so that the entry would not have to be voided and re-entered to be fixed or to have to use a 'note' which does not show on the main screen or reports.
