We released Tabula 2020.10.4 on Thursday 29^th October 2020. In this version:

• When students move from one self-signup small group to another, we now indicate this on the attendance page for any affected events. In the old group, Icon representing a person, with a line through it appears for all events after the date of the move. In the new group, Icon representing a person, with a line through it appears for all events before the date of the move. In both cases, we display explanatory help text when you select the icon. This brings self-signup groups inline with groups that students are allocated to, for which we introduced this icon in Tabula 2019.7.3.
• We completed more preparatory work to enable the processing of marks by cohort. This will provide an alternative to processing marks by module.
• We completed some work to import special arrangements for rest break time during exams. This will be used by the Alternative Exams Portal to ensure the relevant students receive their allotted rest break time.

We released Tabula 2020.10.3 on Thursday 22^nd October 2020. In this version:

• Mitigating circumstances panels now appear on the timetables of the panel chair, secretary and members, with a link to the details of the panel.

We released Tabula 2020.10.2 on Thursday 15^th October 2020. In this version:

• We ensured that Tabula does not treat the additional annual leave dates recently granted by the University, Wednesday 23 December 2020 and Monday 4 January 2021, as working days. This means they cannot be set as the open or closing date for assignments and are excluded from feedback deadline calculations.
• Via an open source contribution, Michael Gale (Computer Science) improved the Tabula API method for retrieving assignments.

We released Tabula 2020.10.1 on Thursday 8^th October 2020. In this version:

• We completed some preparatory work to enable the processing of marks by cohort. This will provide an alternative to processing marks by module.
• Via open source contributions:
  • Oscar Harris (Computer Science):
    • Made the module registration status on the Modules page of students' profiles visible to the relevant student.
    • Fixed a bug affecting formative assessments with feedback provided outside of Tabula. These were appearing twice in the 'Feedback available' section of the Coursework page on students' profiles.
  • Michael Gale (Computer Science) added start and end times to meeting records awaiting approval. Previously, just the date of the meeting was shown.
• Batched notifications are now enabled for all users who have not specified a preference. This means certain notifications of the same type are grouped together and sent at 10-minute intervals.
• When you add students to a small groups set via SITS query, any students registered on the module now automatically appear in the 'Find students' section on the 'Students' tab. The module the group set belongs to is pre-selected in the filters, but you can change this to generate a different list of students.

We released Tabula 2020.9.4 on Thursday 1^st October 2020. In this version:

• We increased the maximum length available for links to more information from small group teaching events. This was previously 255 characters, which was causing problems when long links to events in Teams were added.
