Module Approval release notes

We released Module Approval 26 on Friday 5th June. In this version:

• Full course names are shown in the module availability section.
• Revisions page now shows entries correctly.
• The module availability section now prevents invalid course codes from being recorded.
• New proposal can now be deleted at draft, shelved or returned stage.
• Level column is now displayed on various tabs.
• Subject code picker now works correctly.

We released Module Approval 25 on Tuesday 5th May. In this version:

• In the Learning hours breakdown section, the drop down for duration now contains options for each quarter of an hour.
• Answer book type now has new options available for exam papers that do not use answer booklets. Also ‘Answer Book provided by department’ has been removed.
• Fixed bug where PDF download was not working in one particular instance.

We released Module Approval 24 on Thursday 19th March. In this version:

• When assigning module codes, SPA users can specify a subject code for each TOP record.

We released Module Approval 23 on Friday 13th March. In this version:

• In the Module description section, the 'Indicative reading list' field is no longer required when a Talis Aspire link is provided.
• In the Availability section, route can optionally be specified alongside course in availability entries. We are specifically asking that you do not revise any modules already validated or on the brink of being submitted for approval. This functionality has been added at this stage to support the needs of a couple of particular departments where it is needed and they know who they are. The field is optional and can therefore be left blank without impacting your ability to submit a module.
• The academic year associated with a module proposal is now displayed in the module list and revisions list.
• We fixed an issue where the assessment learning outcomes grid was not displayed to reviewers.
• Users who can edit a module can now restore the form back to a previous Draft or Completed revision. Modules cannot be restored while under review.

To restore a module to a previous version:

1. Navigate to the module page
2. Select Show revisions
3. Select View beside the revision to be restored
4. Choose Restore
5. Select Confirm

The previous version of the form is restored.
