Career Plan – Curriculum Quick Entry
When adding Curriculum > click on “Maintain” > “+ Add Curriculum” at the top of the year column > type the “curriculum key”, counselors are requesting the option to press enter and have it execute the same code as if they clicked on “Save and Add Another” button. Counselors have the curriculum codes memorized and it really, really, really slows them down when they have to stop and click the button every time. This would function similar to the “Request Quick Entry” when scheduling a course under current scheduling.

4 votesThis screen has a Save and Add Another button on it, with that button you can use the key combination of ALT + A to save the current entered curriculum code and reopen the screen for a new code to be added.

Teacher - Mass Enter Attendance - Virtual Present
Indiana teachers who teach students virtually must now enter Virtual Present each day for each student. Since Skyward is hard coded to mark students Present, it will lead to a great deal of inaccurate data.
We can now add additional columns for teachers on their attendance page.
It would be great if teachers could click on the Virtual Present header to have it auto fill Virtual Present for all students.
To add some complexity, we also are currently in Stage 4. This means 1/2 of the students are virtual Mon and Tue, the other 1/2 are virtual Thu and Fri…10 votesThank you for the feedback! With the release of June Addendum 9 (10/1/2020), PR 4495470 has added a Select All option within the header of each attendance option/column setup for teacher use on the Attendance by Name screen. With this, teachers can click on the link to mass apply the appropriate option to all students, make any minor modifications as needed, and save their class attendance.
In addition, PR 4506708 was completed in Addendum 9 to make the MOI column sortable. In the event you have Method of Instruction records set to differentiate these students, teachers can sort these students together.
I hope these new options assist teachers in their daily attendance entry, but please let us know any other feedback on the topic. Thank you!

Track changes for Secured Users
It would be nice to add the option of tracking changes that are made to a users security.
16 votesThere is the User Security Change Audit report that is found under PS\CA\SE\RE\HR\CH. There are a few other History Reports listed with it as well. Let us know how this works for you!

Increase Field length for Student Names
With student names becoming increasingly longer and tied to so much testing, it would be nice to have the field length increased especially for middle and last names. Our district uses on-line enrollment and enters the full legal name (including middle) so that matching is easier to identify students without duplication, especially for or high mobility students. The length issue has primarily been with middle and last names (especially those that have 2 last names)
92 votesWe understand that the name field character limits could be longer, we are excited to announce that they have been extended on the Qmlativ product. We recommend that you use the Legal Name fields for those students whose names do not fit in the standard name fields. These legal names can be sent via state reporting.

Pin number
When running Class roster report, it would be nice to have the ability to add the student's pin number as an available option. Secretaries like to give the teachers, especially at the elementary levels, the students' pin numbers, as well as some of the other indicators that are already available to select in the Detail area. WS/OF/CS/RE/CR/CR
7 votesGreat suggestion! While not directly on the Class Roster report run from Office, the student’s pin number could be something you enable teachers to run on their own class rosters from their gradebooks.
Within the Educator Access Plus District Setup (WS\EA\PS\CF\DS), you can enable the option to “Allow Teachers to display Student’s Food Service Key Pad # on Class Roster.” With this set, when the teacher adds or modifies a template for the Class Roster report (from the Reports menu on the main screen of a gradebook), they will see a check box that allows them to print this information.
Our Customer Consultant Specialists would be able to assist with any questions on these options. Thank you!

Custody Alerts
When students have a custody alert that is critical to the safety of a student, there should be a much more appropriate graphic than a tiny little "almost hidden" bubble on the very cluttered user interface. Other software packages have much more "alerting" graphics to make the matter obvious to busy secretaries fielding many tasks simultaneously while verifying custodial and emergency contact people who come to pick up students at the end of the day. Please pay greater attention to making your user interface more user friendly.
136 votesAs mentioned by others in the comments, you can leverage parental consent notes and/or critical alerts to help draw additional attention to these students. We did bring this feedback over to the Qmlativ product and much like on SMS you can require acknowledgement on Critical Alerts; however, on Qmlativ we do this per student based on their explicit situation, in addition to allowing a custom note to be added to the alert that can be viewed by anyone who has access to that student indicator for additional awareness.

PIMS: Extract a list of multiple students
Often I have multiple students that I need to extract PIMS data for. Currently the PIMS extract templates only all for ranges of students or 1 student at at time. Literally hours of time will be saved by PIMS administrators if a list of students could be extracted at a time. This is common functionality in other SIS systems.
Add a "By Individual" range option and then an "Individual" button" that allows the user to build a list of students. This setup/functionality is already found throughout Skyward. i.e. The Student Information report (WS\ST\RE\SI)33 votesThank you for submitting and voting this Product Idea. I have attached a Skyward Help Doc to assist. Please let me know if you still require additional assistance. Thanks.

Would like the transcript tab in Family Access
It would be a huge help if students could view the transcript tab in Family Access to see if the school has sent out the transcripts to the colleges that they had requested and when.
65 votesGreat suggestion! One way that transcript sent information can be visible in Family and Student Access is to use Data Mining and the Report Directory. This will even work for any information you can put together in a Data Mining report!
Within Data Mining, after you’ve created the report, you can select which entities you’d want this to be available for Family Access Display tab. You will then need to turn on the Report Directory within the Family Access Entity Configuration (WS\FA\FM\PS\CF\EC) and enable for Student and/or Family Access.
Once setup, your students or guardians can login and navigate to the Portfolio tab and they will be able to run these reports. The benefit to this is that when the report generates, only results for the appropriate student will display.
If there are any questions or assistance needed on this setup, our Customer Consulting Specialists would be a great help.…
