  2. Teacher Room Availability - pull only ACTIVE classes

    Within WS\OF\CS\BC\RE\TR... there should be an option to look at only ACTIVE classes. Right now the report pulls Active and Inactive classes which is not helpful when trying to find room availability, and there is not a template setting to only choose Active classes.

  3. Skybuild - Family Data Type

    While working with Skyward support, it was determined that a Skybuild cannot make a file export with 1 row per family.

    Skyward support - "If we had a family data type we could group based on the family but since we don't that will not be an option. "

    Example use case -- our family news letters are distributed from another web services, and we send the the company an SFTP Skybuild file that contains the names and emails of our guardians based on the building that their student(s) are actively enrolled. The current issue is that we can either…

  4. SMS - Fees Paid Report - Print by activity instead of just bill code

    The current fees paid report will only let you choose to print bill codes, which will print (for example) all of our athletic fees for that time range. We would like to print just who has paid for a particular sport or co-curricular sometimes.

  5. PIMS C6 Student Updates

    PIMS C6 STUDENT UPDATE PULL: It would be amazing to have a report that shows a list of ONLY students who have had a change to any piece of C6 Student Update template information that needs to be reported and what that information is (like appear in red). If it could also contain new enrollments that would be a plus! We could use it to submit student updates by individual if desired.

  8. Student gets a text or alert for any schedule changes

    Is it possible for a student to receive a text or alert for any schedule changes the counselors have made without the student in their office or needing to go to the office. There would need to be a on and off option, start date along with a message as to why it was changed and the history would need to be kept as well. The button could be on the scheduling tab next to the email tab, so that everything is on the page as the schedule change. The history button is read only and can be excelled as…

  11. On the Performance Acknowledgement tab, the dual credit option would best be named Dual Credit/Enrollment or college hours.

    On the Performance Acknowledgement tab, the dual credit option would best be named Dual Credit/Enrollment or college hours. This allows for districts in Texas to include OnRamps in this performance acknowledgement without confusing it with Dual Credit.

  13. "STUDENT TYPE" on the ENTRY/WITHDRAWAL tab needs to stay what it's set when the students are rolled up every year

    The student type on the entry /withdrawal tab changes every time the student gets rolled up year after year. Why can't it just stay 504, AR, etc? Every year after the rollup we have to go and change the student type because it defaults to REG. Trust me, there are not a lot of REG students. Mostly AR, 504.
    Thank you for your consideration in the matter.

  14. Print course on transcript, but NOT on report card

    We would like the option to print courses on student transcripts, but NOT on report cards. Right now, that is an all or nothing option. Can you please separate these options so that we can choose to print on one or the other?

    This would be extremely helpful for our Dual Enrollment courses that do not need to be printed on student report cards (they were not taken at our school), but still need to be printed on transcripts.

    In Skybuild, there is a field called At-Risk Status which has been verified by Skyward that it doesn't work or attach to any data. Everyone is listed as N (no). This needs to report the student's current At-Risk Status.
