  2. Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests

    Currently, the default ranges on the Mass Add/Change/Delete Student Requests is set to Exclude Special Ed students. This causes them to be excluded even when running this utility using a processing list. All other mass utilities have open ranges, so schedulers didn't look at the ranges in this utility before running it with a processing list and didn't realize all ESE and Gifted students on the processing list were getting left out. They are now going in and changing it, but it would be nice if the default was truely open ranges so students protected by law weren't inadvertently excluded…

  3. Hide Specific Courses in the Course Master

    I would like the ability to pick specific courses in the course master using a check box and hide them. We run a computerized credit recovery program and those courses need to stay active. There are a lot of them that I would like to hide similar to how I can hide rows or columns in an Excel or Google sheet. This would allow me to see only the active courses offered to the majority of students.

  4. Scheduling - Print Teacher Schedules

    When printing out Teacher Schedules (WS/OF/CS/RE/TS), it would be nice to have the option to choose specific teachers, but more than one teacher at a time. We have multiple teachers who teach in different departments, so just choosing a department or a subject, doesn't get us what we need. We would like to have the option to checkbox more than one teacher at a time.

  6. Total College Credit Hours for students

    Currently, our counselors are calculating by hand and by looking at the transcript to determine if a student has enough college hours for an Associates upon high school graduation. It would be helpful if these course hours could be data mined out (current and historical classes) or have a report in Skyward that can be used to get this data.

  7. Be able to select multiple teachers to print their schedules

    When working on scheduling it is helpful to print a teacher's schedule. I sometimes want to print more than one. It would be helpful to be able to choose what teachers' schedules I want, rather than having to print more than one report.

  8. Interactive Scheduling Board Export

    It would be super helpful if I didn't have to choose my options every time that I want to export my interactive scheduling board to excel. We use this for our master and I have to go in and click the same things every single time. It's very frustrating and time consuming.

  9. Please allow for a larger font size when printing schedules - perhaps offiering a landscape option would allow the fonts to become larger.

  11. In Future Scheduling, Request Processing to allow Multiple Course Requests of the Same Course

    We have students who take multiple courses of the same course in a year. For example, Advanced Ag Mechanics, Developmental Instruction, Online College, etc. When building their schedule, it would be great if it allowed you to request the class more than once. Since it doesn't you do get the desired accuracy out of Auto Scheduler.

  12. 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.

  13. Enable Future Schedules in EA+

    Students can see future schedules but teachers can't except via a printed report. Please give teachers the same future schedule view (for "next" year) in EA+.

  14. Students Current Scheduling - allow filtering of dropped courses

    Include a "dropped" field in the actual List View so that Dropped Courses can be Filtered out. Will make it much cleaner for counselors to view and at the same time easier to match with Student Fees. I realize they are color coded, but it still junks up the schedule.

  16. setting to always drop and never delete courses

    Could there be a setting to restrict end users to always drop and never delete a course when changing a students schedule? Deleting a course rather than dropping it causes problems in several of our outside programs and it still happens even though we have tried to educate people to always drop and never delete.

  17. Could the class period be seen on the section details? You always have to do all the drop downs to find the right period.

    Could the period be visible on the section detail? A pain to always have to drop down each section. WS/OF/CS/BC/CM/CM

  18. Partial Schedule Report

    It would be helpful if the Students with Partial Schedules Report printed with Student Key or Other ID or linked up to a processing list option. This would allow the ability to send a direct message to students and parents and open the Arena Scheduling window back up once holes were identified during the future scheduling time frame.

    Thanks!

  19. Teacher Scheduling Report

    It would be great if the Teacher Schedules Report (WS/OF/FS/RE/TS) would print the teacher type on the report. Is the Teacher an Alternate or a Primary on the section meet. Also, it would be great if the report template allowed you to select which teacher type to include Primary , Alternate or Both. For example, you may only want to print the report to view courses where the teacher is set as the primary teacher but not include the Alternates.

  20. Utility to mass delete course sections that have meets but no students assigned to the section.

    We have had two different scenarios that we needed to mass delete sections from the section master. It is very time consuming to have to delete each individual section one at a time.
