Tabula release notes

We released Tabula 2019.6.4 on Thursday 27 June 2019. This release includes some bug fixes and improvements, including:

• A banner at the top of Tabula will show that you are not in the current year when you've navigated away. This banner provides a link to get back to the current academic year.
• When you edit a monitoring point such that a student is automatically recorded as 'Missed' based on Small Group Teaching event attendance, we now add an attendance note. This note combines the attendance notes from the relevant SGT events.
• Assignments using 'Moderated marking' now show the correct moderation status for students returned to the marker or moderator.

We released Tabula 2019.6.3 on Thursday 20 June 2019. This release includes some bug fixes and improvements, including:

• A staff member who is related to a group of students can now schedule a meeting with them as a group
• When you edit a monitoring point, Tabula now suggests changes to the attendance for any affected students. For example, if you change a point from 'Standard' to 'Meeting', students who meet the conditions to be automatically marked as ‘attended’ are shown. You can then choose to apply the suggested changes or not. We will show how this works at the next Tabula User Group meeting.
• We have made the email notifications sent to markers clearer. We now provide the numbers of students who:
  • Have submitted
  • Have not submitted but have an extension
  • Have not submitted and have not requested an extension

We released Tabula 2019.6.2 on Friday 14 June 2019. This release includes numerous bug fixes and improvements, including:

• When you upload assignment marks to SITS, a message now explains why this cannot be done for any students who were manually added to the assignment.
• When you generate exam or module grids, the date and time of the previous SITS data import is now displayed along with the progress bar. This is to help you decide whether to skip the current import and generate the grid from the previously imported data.

We released Tabula 2019.6.1 on Thursday 6 June 2019. This release includes several bug fixes and improvements.

• Performance of exam grids when importing the latest data from SITS is now significantly improved.

• The marks and grades awarded by each marker are now included in assignment downloads (xlsx, .csc or .xml). You can download the file for an assignment via Save as on the Submissions and Feedback page.

• Students can now tab through assignments on their Profile page. This is part of ongoing work to make Tabula accessible to all.

• Admins can change a marking workflow once marking has started. Marks, feedback and feedback files, however, will now be deleted in the process. You should make a note or download any feedback needed before you start the switch.

We released Tabula 2019.5.5 on Wednesday 30 May 2019. This release includes several bug fixes and improvements.

Should you need to change a marking workflow, please be aware of the following advice. You should make a note or download any feedback you need, before switching workflows. This is because all feedback entered online or uploaded, including files has to be removed.
