    Thank you for submitting this idea request. We have a clarifying question before we can proceed reviewing it:

    We need to better understand what you want the checkbox to do. Do you this checkbox to pull from the sick bank profile with the HR side? Or, do you want to donate time to the sick bank?

    Thank you!

    We would like to display the check box from Employee Profile > Time Off > Info > Participates in Sick Bank in employee access allowing employees to check if they have already joined the sick leave bank rather than having to call payroll to verify during our annual enrollment drive.

    We currently have a form for users to sign up which is then imported into Skyward updating this box. This would be awesome if the employee could update it in EA with pseudo approval. Then have it add the time off code and deduct the 2 local days. The sick leave bank time off code, the number of days and the time off code to deduct the days from would need to be a per district config.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!

    Are you looking at custom forms in online forms only or other places as well like task manager?

    Would you expect this update to apply to only custom forms or all forms?

    Please elaborate on what you would expect this to look like and function.

    Thank you!

    We have a form that we only want HR employees to see in Employee Profile. We do not want accounting to see this form. Accounting does have other custom forms they will need access to in Employee Profile so we cannot remove their security to the custom forms tab. We then set security on the individual form so only HR can see it when looking in Employee Profile. We do not want the form to show in Employee access so we leave the show type under the Employee Access button to "Not Available". We do want the form to show when the employee is in the Online Forms process. However, they will not have access to it unless we allow access in Employee Access. In the Advanced Custom Forms setup, we need a third button or security option for Online Forms that would be separate from Employee Access.

    We understand the original logic to use the employee access security for the online forms however we have several forms that we want employees to fill out during the online form process and not have the ability to edit again in employee access.

    It was in [SC:3352663] that we were recommended to submit Customer Feedback Request.

    Update the picture import utilities for both Student and Employee to look at the last date modified on the picture file and give the option to only import pictures that have been modified in the last “X” number of days. As part of the integration with IDImage we schedule this importer to run multiple times a day and every time it runs it reimports all pictures. We only need it to import pictures that have been recently updated.

    Would also like the emergency contacts fields added to Skybuild > Imports > Staff Import Utility. This would allow staff to continue updating their emergency contacts in employee access and have it update the new emergency contact area for staff in the student database.
