"Other Name" or "Nickname" field
I would like to see an Other-Name field or Nickname field be added to the "Name" table.
I'm trying to utilize Skyward as the authoritative source for our staff data. I have found that many employees do not go by their legal first name OR other language(Chinese/Spanish) name i.e. "Cynthia" goes by "Cindy" OR "Hsin Jung" goes by "Amy"... (How does one find Amy in the staff directory when her name is listed as Hsin Jing?Why is there an other-name field for students but not for staff?
I want to be able to use this field to map to…75 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea.

Preferred Vendor Management
Some districts have special pricing agreements with particular vendors making using those vendors the fiscally responsible choice when entering a requisition; however there are legitimate situations where a user may need to use a non-preferred vendor (i.e. The preferred vendor doesn't have a specific item). Currently there is not systematic way to help users know which vendors to use nor a way to handle requisitions where users needed to use a non-preferred vendor instead of a preferred vendor.
1) There would be a new vendor code under WF\VE\PS\CO called Vendor Types where districts could define vendor types like "Office Supplies"…

Mass selecting recurring entries to create invoice
It would be great if we could mass select recurring entries for creating invoices for payment. Having to select each one at a time is much more time consuming than if we could select several at a time from the list.

Need ACA hours for docked day to equal hours workd
Need to have ACA hours for a docked day to equal daily hours worked in Employee Management. Currently the docked hours for ACA default to 8 and this is not correct in most cases.
Dock pay would automatically deduct the correct number of ACA hours when used.
Additional clarification from customer:We currently pull ACA hours from Employee Management. When processing a
payroll and an employee has dock pay it pulls up the hours associated with
the calendar for the employee. I would like the ACA hours to pull from the
hours per day on Employee Management. This way the…48 votesThank you for submitting this request and voting on it. We’ve had our experts run a few test at Skyward and we believe the system is working as intended as long as the set up is correct. Please review these steps & try this instead:
1) When running the Unpaid Time Off Import (Create Dock Pay) utility in Payroll Worksheets the ACA Hours are automatically created.
2) The hours are negative – to indicate taking ACA hours away from the total ACA hours for the payroll
3) The number of hours recorded is based on the Time Off Code Setup – Hours per Day
4) The ACA hours are written directly from the Unpaid Import. They are not derived from the ACA Import button in Payroll Select
5) Primary Pay’s ACA hours is pulled from the ACA Import in Select
6) The Import runs out to the web. It is…

Please make the font on reports easier to read
I have had numerous requests from our users to change the font on budgetary data mining reports so that it is easier to read. The size doesn't seem to be the issue it just needs to be bolder.
57 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve researching implementing this enhancement and have determined we will not pursue it at this time.
There are several limitations to updating the font so that it is bolder. The biggest impact is that by making the font bolder it will shift the font and take up more room. Every report in the system would need to be reviewed and most likely updated as data would get pushed off the report rendering them unusable.
Thank you,

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…

Need to manually enter Barcode and Proximity Value
We should be able to manually enter Barcodes and Proximity values for our TrueTime users in Employees in TrueTime. Employees has their ID badges before employees are set up in TrueTime we need to manually enter these values verses hunting the employees down and then setting up their badges at readers.
This will be a huge time-saver for our employees and those managers that set up the badges.54 votesThank you for submitting this idea, voting on it and in some instances providing more feedback.

Update PSERS reporting for Sabbatical leave
Need Skyward to update PSERS state reporting correctly for Sabbatical leave.
We were given a solution in SKYWARD to create correction contributions but not a way (except with a manual change in state reporting) to report the wages as described below.
From PSERS ManualDuring the period of the leave the member must be paid 50% or more of their contracted salary. The
employer reports the actual amount paid to the member as well as the unpaid portion (totaling 100% of
contracted salary) each month. Members are considered to be in regular daily attendance during the
period of the leave…
44 votesThank you for submitting this request to the Ideas Portal. In reviewing this request with our State Reporting and Compliance Department, while our current process involves a small portion for manual verification, we are compliant with the PSERS reporting manual specifications.

This report sorting rules should be able to be mod
This reports is setup to sort by social security number which is sometimes the way I like to see it but it would be helpful to also have the option to sort it by vendor name as well.
Having different options on sorting will allow users to be more efficient.

District needs widgets to be forced, not suggested
Widgets need to be forced upon users not merely suggested. This functionality used to be in Skyward but was subsequently removed.
Included in this use selection parameters to identify who to assign the widget to.
83 votesThank you for this idea request and participating in voting.
We suggest using the “Force Widget Suggestions” This process will re-suggest the widget to all users that are currently not using the widget.
While this option will not force widgets on users, there are technical difficulties that would delay this enhancement. We are taking this request into consideration and working on a Qmlativ solution. At this time we will no longer be considering this enhancement for SMS 2.0.
Thank you!
