Tabula release notes

We released Tabula 2018.10.3 on Thursday 18 October 2018.

Email notifications to markers now give a more detailed breakdown of the students allocated to them, particularly for first, second and final markers in marking workflows with multiple stages. For example:

• 14 students are allocated to you for marking
  • First marker: 8 students
  • Second marker: 6 students
  • Final marker: 8 students
• 8 students allocated to you have been released for marking
  • 7 students have submitted work
  • 1 student has not submitted work

When an email notification is sent to multiple recipients – for example, a tutor emails a group of tutees – addresses are now in the BCC field instead of the To field.

Alumni can continue to sign in to Tabula and view their student profile for up to 14 months after their course end date.

Wherever a student's name appears in Tabula, we now display the student's preferred name only. We no longer show official names.

Also, in the Tabula API, we have deprecated the officialName and fullFirstName properties of the Member object. The API now returns:

• fullName for officialName
• firstName for fullFirstName
