  4. Academic Areas - Please take away cross-entity ability to see/edit/delete

    It would be very helpful if the academic areas was only available to view per entity, editing is only allowed in entity subject/skill was connected to, subjects/skills are only available for other entity to clone and not for them to edit or delete, and/or a "canned filter" is available to filter out other entities.

    Example: Currently, if our high school secretaries go into the academic areas they are able to edit and delete the subjects and skills entered in the elementary entity. If the high school adds academic areas they are mixed right in with the elementary ones. Also if…

  5. Mass Email Account Reset Link based on Processing List or Reset Needed

    The current ranges within the Mass Email Account Reset Link utility are very limited. It would be helpful two have the following two options: 1) Email based on processing list; and 2) Email only users who have not reset their password within the current school year.

  6. Add <login ID> field to automated email system

    Presently, there is no way to configure an automatic email to students containing their Student Access Login ID—not unless you configure the username to be the same as a currently existing field, such as namekey. Ideally, we would want to configure an automated email based on the Enrollment Change/Student Entered trigger with the ability to insert <login ID>.

  7. I would like to see more security limits under WS\ST\TB\PR\PR . I don't want them to be able to change student’s names here.

    I want our secretaries to be able to update the "General Information" but I don't want them to be able to change the legal "Student Name".

  8. Student Profile Column Adjustment

    Would love the ability to adjust the size of the Activity Tab column (left to right) in Student Profile. Would also be nice if the columns that get adjusted would remain the size you chose until they were altered again.

  10. Course Requests Configuration by Grade Level

    In the Course Request Configuration in Student Access, we can choose the option to Use Course Request Time Periods to Determine if a Window is Open, and set up the time period by Grade Level. This option is helpful, but we need to also Limit the Number of Requested Credits by grade level. Sometimes the request windows can overlap.

    Our nurses have indicated that TWO(2) signatures are required for administering medications. We need to have two places for Administered by to be in compliance with regulations.

  13. Resident District/ Address Master

    Would it be possible to tie the Resident Enrollment field on the entry withdraw to the address master? So once the District for that address is identified it stays with that address no matter who moves in. It would eliminate having to research that address every time someone moves in.

    Update the SkyScan installer to support command line switches including the silent install. This would allow us to push the installation and not have to manually install it.

  15. parent entered request

    Add the functionality to change the status of a Parent Entered Request in Attendance. Once a request is approved/denied, the request status can no longer be changed. It would be helpful to have access to change this status as needed.

    This button is found in a couple of different screens. Here's one area where it exists. Office > Attendance > Entry by Date. The button is located on the right side of the screen.

  17. Display all parent phone numbers on the Profile info page

    Currently the student profile info page only displays the primary 1st guardian phone number. You need to click on the parent/guardian name to view their second phone number. It would be helpful if the profile info page would show all the phone numbers for the parent/guardians.

  18. (Texas) Add Course Service ID to Endorsement Progress Screen

    With the addition of needing to have the programs of study, endorsements, and IBCs align with the correct PEIMS codes, it would be very helpful to have the PEIMS codes for courses on the Endorsement progress page of skyward. With it just having the local course code, it requires that we go back into the transcript if there is a course that we are unsure of the PEIS code to make sure the alignment is correct. It would same an immense amount of time to have all the pertinent information on one page.

  19. Enrollment Dashboard

    It would be great to have an enrollment dashboard screen that would show a grid of current enrollment by grade/gender. This would be helpful when needing some quick enrollment numbers, rather than needing to run a report or use Student Browse.

  20. Printing Reports includes Navigation Menu Paths

    It would be great if when reports print, the Navigation Menu Paths were printed at the top. That way, someone else would be able to find their way to run themselves.
