Release notes for web applications

We released Tabula 2020.5.4 on Thursday 27^th May 2020. In this version:

• We made some refinements to the new Marks Management component and worked on new functionality within it. This included adding histories for component marks: when a mark was previously recorded, you can now view a history of this, which provides the time and date of the change, the name of the person who made it, and the mark and grade recorded.
• We fixed the 'Copy comments and files' button that appears for final markers in the double seen marking workflow. Using this button now copies the comments and files from the first marker, as intended.

We released Tabula 2020.5.3 on Thursday 21^st May 2020. In this version:

• We added a new component, Marks Management, which provides a straightforward way of entering component marks for upload to SITS. Our noticeboard post about this gives more information.
• As part of this work we enabled uploading of marks to SITS for all departments where it was not already enabled.
• We also turned on the departmental setting to validate grades for all departments. This makes the process of entering marks and grades easier and less prone to error because the correct grade is automatically added when a valid mark is provided. The grade is drawn from the marks scheme defined in SITS for the assessment component.

We released Tabula 2020.5.2 on Thursday 14^th May 2020. In this version we completed some work relating to marks and exam boards support for 19/20.

We released SiteBuilder 2.434 on Friday 15^th May 2020. In this version:

• We added two new page templates to the options available when you create a new page:

  • Module – to present details of a module, drawn from the Module Catalogue.

  • Multiple Researcher Profiles - to display the combined publications and research projects of two or more researchers, drawn from the IDEATE system.

• Pop-ups throughout SiteBuilder, such as the one you see when you make a booking on a bookings page, are now more accessible. They are visible to screen reader software and can be navigated using only a keyboard.

• Notifications now work for 'News filter' and 'Calendar filter' pages drawing content directly from a news or calendar page. When a new item is added to the news or calendar page, users signed up for notifications on the filter page receive an email. This applies if the new item is tagged with at least one of the tags used for the filter page.

• We did some work on forms:

  • Payment forms now include an ‘Intended Payment’ column when you view submissions. In the event of an unsuccessful payment, the intended payment amount is shown here.

  • In a form’s properties, text you enter in the 'Message' box, to show to users when they've submitted the form, is now checked. If the text, plus accompanying HTML, is over 2000 characters long you see a warning about this and must reduce the length. Previously, including more than 2000 characters caused an error.

  • When you specify that a link within a comment on a form should open in a new window, this now works. Previously, the HTML to achieve this was removed by the visual editor.

We released Tabula 2020.5.1 on Thursday 7^th May 2020. In this version we fixed some bugs, including two that affected assignments using the moderated marking workflow.
