We released Tabula 2021.2.4 on Friday 26^th February 2021. In this version:

• We completed more work on self-certification:
  • On the department settings page, you can now:
    • Specify a date after which all assignments in the department become ineligible for self-certification. Any assignment in the department with a deadline after this date cannot be selected on the self-certification form. This applies to all students, regardless of their home department.
    • Provide further guidance to students when they self-certify. This is displayed above the general guidance on the right of the self-certification form and on the confirmation page. You can format the guidance using Markdown,
  • We fixed a bug that caused duplicate self-certification extensions. This occurred when an assignment was linked to more than one assessment component. The extended deadline in these cases was correct, but duplicate extensions for the same assignment were displayed.
  • You can now use the 'Affected dates' filter on your department's Self-Certifications page. This previously produced an error.
  • We fixed a bug that prevented a tooltip on the self-certification form from appearing in Firefox. Now when you hover your mouse over the checkbox for an ineligible assessment in Firefox, a tooltip appears that reads: "This assessment is not eligible for Self-Certification".
• We changed the submission time in Coursework Management to the time when the submission begins uploading. Previously, it was set to when uploading had completed. This caused problems when the upload of a large submission began before a deadline but didn't complete until after the deadline.
• There were two changes to the Examinations table on the Modules page in students' profiles:
  • Online summer exams are now shown. They were previously omitted due to them adopting the exam code for oral exams (OE), which are not shown and are now coded differently. Thanks to Oscar Harris for making this change, via an open source contribution.
  • We removed the following table columns: 'Duration', 'Reading time' and 'Exam type'. This is because these properties can be varied by departments when they set up the exams within the AEP (Alternative Exams Portal).
