Release notes for web applications
Tabula 2021.3.3 released
We released Tabula 2021.3.3 on Thursday 18th March 2021. In this version:
- Teaching departments can now see self-certifications that contain an affected assessment which they teach. These appear in the main department self-certification list. A filter has been introduced that let's you see self-certs for home students, external students or both (this defaults to both).
- Assessments won't be included in a self certification if the deadline has passed. For example, a student has two assignments due today. One at 9am and one at 1pm. They raise a self certification at 11pm. The assignment with the 1pm deadline will be included in this self-certification. The assignment with the 9am deadline will not be included and no automatic extensions will be applied.
Tabula 2021.3.2 released
We released Tabula 2021.3.2 on Friday 12th March 2021. In this version:
- Where submissions should be automatically released to markers, students with a self-certification are now automatically released when their deadline passes.
- Unrecorded attendance reminders and notifications to students about uploading outstanding mitigating circumstances evidence, are now sent at 9am rather than at midnight.
- We've fully removed the acknowledgement action from self-certifications. This action has been automatically applied to all self-certifications since the release of 2021.3.1. After this release the "acknowledge" button and all associated labels in the progress bar have been removed.
- Notifications sent to students when they self-certify now mention when deadlines cannot be automatically updated by Tabula.
Sitebuilder 2.467.2 released
We released SiteBuilder 2.467.2 on Thursday 11th March 2021. In this version we fixed a bug that stopped the Knowledge Centre news pages from loading.
SiteBuilder 2.467 released
We released SiteBuilder 2.467 on Monday 8th March 2021. In this version we continued work on forthcoming improvements to the visual editor, and fixed an issue with researcher profile pages.
Tabula 2021.3.1 released
We released Tabula 2021.3.1 on Friday 5th March 2021. In this version:
- All self-certification submissions are now automatically acknowledged. This includes those that affect assessments for which automatic extensions cannot be applied. The change is a precursor to the removal of the acknowledgement part of the process and means that:
- When extensions need to be manually granted, all affected departments are notified immediately. These notifications go to Extension Managers and Departmental Administrators by default. Affected departments can change this in their notification settings.
- When a student self-certifies, they receive an immediate notification that lists:
- Which assessment deadlines have been automatically extended
- Which assessment deadlines will be considered before extensions can be applied.
- We made some changes to avoid assignment marks and feedback being finalised for students who are within extensions:
- When a marker expands the row for a student on the Marking screen, the presence of an extension is now highlighted.
- Markers cannot send students within extensions to the admin if:
- They have not yet submitted
- They have submitted but the assignment is set to allow resubmissions.
- When a student self-certifies and selects 'Other' as the module for an assessment, Extension Managers in the student's home department are now notified.
