  2. Position Filter added to CRDC parameters

    Our Employee Management setup uses the assignment of SpEd for both teachers and paraprofessionals, so the CRDC extract pulls in paras as well as teachers. We could prevent this problem by adding Positions to the selections parameters in STAF-1, STAF-2. I could then select the EM Plan, Position "Teacher" Assignment "SpEd" and it would not populate with paras.

  4. Allow certain users full access to budget transfers when "stop if funds not available" is selected

    When you set the budget transfer/PO option to "stop if funds not available", we would like to allow the finance director and many members of the finance department to be able to make these transactions without the stop. It would be helpful and time saving if there was a way that we could set that up.

  5. Use assignment start/end dates for absentee reports

    When using the assignment calendar for an absentee report, hours are pulled from all assignments the employee has had during the year. Can the assignment start/end dates not be coded in so only the current assignment is used when calculating hours present?

  6. Not Translate Names

    We have had several parents request not to translate the Student's names and Street names on addresses. The translation is being done by the browser.

    According to Google instructions, please try:
    <span translate="no"> </span>
    <span class="notranslate"> </span>
    For example:
    Welcome everyone my name is <span class="notranslate">Felipe</span>

    We would do this ourselves using SkyCode however SkyCode is not available in Family/Employee Access.

  9. Indicate previously denied CC transactions and decline multiple with same comments

    This is a two part/related question related to credit card transaction approvals.
    1)We're wondering if there's a way to indicate that a credit card transaction had been previously denied when it comes back for approval. The goal would be that when the approval comes back through, it would somehow show that it had previously been submitted and denied. I don't know if that would mean creating a new option besides app or deny (maybe review or something similar) or maybe some time if asterisk indicator?
    2) Is there a way to deny several transactions at the same time with the…

  10. Ability to login as applicant

    In Employee Administration/Applications screen, it would be helpful to be able to login as an applicant to walk them through the application process. This would allow me to view the actual screen the applicant it on so that I can resolve the issue.

    It could be set up similar to the Skyward Access/Employee Access in SMS.

  12. I-94

    For the enrollment and registration process, we need a way to gather the I-94 number from parents instead of creating another custom form. This question can be as simple as 'Do you or your student have an I-94' textbox or something close to that? It cannot be a mandatory field. Thanks!

  14. TRS Base Gross totals tie out to Check Register

    When working on the per pay period Gemini report to submit to TRS (Illinois)
    I click the Summary Report and checked it against the check register's Base Gross under the Retirement deductions.

    I'm usually off by the non-contributory earnings and the retiree earnings. These two types of pay are included in the earnings totals in the TRS Gemini Summary Report.
    I think the non-contributory earnings and retiree earnings should be listed separately!
    This would be helpful because we can then tie it back to the check register Base Gross!!!

    Currently there no way I can modify the TRS Gemini Summary…

  20. Custom Standards-Based Report Card

    Custom Standards-Based Report Card We need to have the ability to display the students Add On Bonus GPA. We can add the Term GPA as a Skyward field but that is not accurate for our high flying students to display the bonis GPA.
