We released Tabula 2021.2.2 on Monday 15^th February 2021. In this version:

• We completed the work required to enable self-certification in Tabula. A couple of things to note:
  • 'Mitigating Circumstances' in the local navigation menu in Tabula now appears as 'Personal Circumstances' for Mitigating Circumstances Officers who are also a Departmental Administrator or Extension Manager. Mitigating Circumstances Officers who have neither of those two roles still see 'Mitigating Circumstances'.
  • Some of the technical notes refer to self-certification functionality related to MCOs (Mitigating Circumstances Officers). This was subsequently changed, via TAB-9072, such that Extension Managers (and Departmental Administrators) have the responsibility and permissions for managing self-certifications.
