Tabula 2023.7.1 released
Tabula version 2023.7.1 was released on Friday 21st July 2023. Changes in this update include:
- The button to proceed on the Record outcomes screen is now labelled Next instead of Save, to reflect the fact that data is not saved at this stage of the process.
- Department Administrators can now set minimum and maximum page counts for assignment submissions. Note that this functions similarly to word count limits, and is self-reported by students when submitting.
- The coursework Submissions and feedback table now includes a Published column to indicate when feedback was published without requiring users to visit submission summary pages individually.
- Tabula now displays an error when leaving a page with an incomplete meeting form. This should help prevent loss of data if a form has not yet been submitted.
- Students are automatically assigned a status of Unrecorded for a monitoring point if an associated seminar is marked as Missed (authorised). This is to enable departments to perform any necessary verification.
- An explanatory message is now displayed for students whose course outcome is blank on their marks release date.

- Item filter pages have received several improvements:
- Tags now appear in alphabetical order on the Edit page properties screen.
- Manage sections: We've added a link to this from the Editing tags page.
- On the Manage entries page, we've changed the Back to page link to a button to improve visibility.
- Buttons for reordering Tag sections are now correctly greyed out when they aren't applicable - for example, the "Move up" button for the entry at the top of the list.
