Tabula 53 (Iodine) - Tuesday 17th December 2013

Tabula version 53 (Iodine) was released on Tuesday 17th December 2013. The main visible improvements and changes are:

Authorised absences for small groups

We've changed the attendance screen for small group teaching to accommodate four states - not recorded, unauthorised absence, authorised absence and attended. All previous data has been moved to this new scheme as either attended or unauthorised absence. It's now also possible to set authorised absences for the future, in advance.

General improvements and fixes

  • When a submission is marked as suspected of being plagiarised, it can now be marked as 'investigation completed'
  • When using online feedback, we now correctly progress the status of a submission when someone views their feedback
  • Route/module managers can now view the departmental administration page (we incorrectly announced this had been fixed in version 52, apologies for the inconvenience)
  • Assignment 'Save as' downloads now include marks, grades and any generic or online feedback
  • It's now possible to grant extensions even if none have been requested
  • It's no longer possible to grant extensions on assignments that have no close date
