Release notes for web applications

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 Warwick, 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.

We released SiteBuilder 2.424 on Wednesday 13^th November 2019. This version fixes a bug that was preventing certain calendar items from appearing in search results.

We released SiteBuilder 2.423 on Monday 11^th November 2019. In this version we fixed a bug affecting the 'unsubscribe' link in email notifications of forum posts.

We released Tabula 2019.11.1 on Thursday 7^th November 2019. In this version:

• We added mitigating circumstances information to exam grids. Tabula now displays the grading – A (mild), B (moderate), C (severe) or R (rejected) – of the mitigation, and the date it was decided. If the mitigation was acute, a zero is appended to the grading to denote that it has already been dealt with. When you view a student's assessment breakdown, some details of the mitigating circumstances are shown at the bottom. This includes recommendations and comments for the exam board.
• When you record a missed meeting, the inaccurate message 'Submitting this record will mark a monitoring point as attended' is no longer displayed.
• When you record attendance for a monitoring point by uploading a CSV file, a confirmation screen now details the changes this will make. You can then confirm or cancel the changes.

Please note: we released changes to assignment opening and closing dates separately, between this version and version 2019.10.5.

We released Tabula 2019.10.5 on Thursday 31^st October 2019. In this version:

• The Modules page within each student's profile now displays the total number of CATS for that student.
• When adding or editing departmental marking descriptors, you can now format them using Markdown syntax.
