ÌÇÐÄTV

We released Tabula 2019.11.2 on Thursday 14^th November 2019. In this version:

• Module-related SITS data is now imported hourly, rather than daily. This may help avoid confusion caused by data in Tabula not reflecting changes in SITS.
• Certain special characters are now removed from assignment names when uploading submissions to Turnitin. These characters were preventing Turnitin from processing submissions.
• We changed the timing of assignment submission reminders sent on the close date, via My ÌÇÐÄTV, to students who have not submitted. These are now sent 4 hours before the assignment closes. This is at 8am for assignments with the standard close time of 12 noon. They were previously sent at midnight on the close date.
• The 'Meeting record approval' setting of sub-departments (for example, 'Architecture UG') is now honoured. Previously the setting from the parent department (for example, 'Architecture') was used.
• Pages detailing Mitigating Circumstances submissions now display the submission date. This is in addition to the date the submission was last modified.
• We added further validation to ensure that some permissions can only be granted to staff members.
