Tabula 47 (Silver) - Tuesday 15th October 2013

Tabula version 47 (Silver) was released on Tuesday 15th October 2013. The main visible improvements and changes are:

User Access Managers

In preparation for the change in Tabula permissions (so that users can delegate their own permissions out to others), we've created a new User Access Manager role within Tabula. This person will be nominated by the Head of Department to be the one person responsible for allocating top-level permissions in a department.

Routes in sub-departments

We can now move various Routes to sub-departments in the same way as Modules, to allow attendance monitoring functionality to be used within such sub-departments.

Module registrations and small groups

If a user is registered for a module but then de-registers for it, they are removed from any small groups they've signed up to for this module. Note that this only happens for departments who have this setting turned on (it's on by default) and where the student has been registered for a set of small groups via a link to SITS.

General improvements and fixes

  • Tutors and supervisors can now correctly record attendance
  • A bug where the 'Create from template' dropdown kept retracting in Internet Explorer has been fixed
  • It's now possible to record meetings on very small screens
  • A bug where some monitoring points were shown with a warning sign when they hadn't happened yet has been fixed
  • The maximum attachments for an assignment has been increased to 20
  • Removing and then adding a student in a linked SITS group no longer shows confusing information
  • 'No show' students are now no longer shown in student profiles or Attendance Monitoring
  • Assignments can now correctly be linked to assessment groups from previous academic years
  • Postgraduate Research students now see a link to their own attendance monitoring profile, if they have one
  • Online feedback can now be posted with an empty mark field
  • Supervisors imported from SITS are now correctly removed if there is a new supervisor
  • A bug in Internet Explorer where attendance monitoring information on a student profile was "stale" has been fixed.
