Tabula release notes
Tabula 2021.3.1 released
We released Tabula 2021.3.1 on Friday 5th March 2021. In this version:
- All self-certification submissions are now automatically acknowledged. This includes those that affect assessments for which automatic extensions cannot be applied. The change is a precursor to the removal of the acknowledgement part of the process and means that:
- When extensions need to be manually granted, all affected departments are notified immediately. These notifications go to Extension Managers and Departmental Administrators by default. Affected departments can change this in their notification settings.
- When a student self-certifies, they receive an immediate notification that lists:
- Which assessment deadlines have been automatically extended
- Which assessment deadlines will be considered before extensions can be applied.
- We made some changes to avoid assignment marks and feedback being finalised for students who are within extensions:
- When a marker expands the row for a student on the Marking screen, the presence of an extension is now highlighted.
- Markers cannot send students within extensions to the admin if:
- They have not yet submitted
- They have submitted but the assignment is set to allow resubmissions.
- When a student self-certifies and selects 'Other' as the module for an assessment, Extension Managers in the student's home department are now notified.
