Tabula 51 (Antimony) - Wednesday 20th November 2013

Tabula version 51 (Antimony) was released on Wednesday 20th November 2013. The main visible improvements and changes are:

Filtered recording of attendance monitoring information

You can now record attendance monitoring information for students via a filtered list, rather than for a single route. This allows recording for all students who match the same point, if desired.

'All students in my department'

Staff members can now filter the list of students in their department via a link in Student Profiles.

'Module Auditor' and 'Route Auditor' permissions

We've added two new roles; Module Auditor and Route Auditor. These roles are designed for members of staff who should have access to view administrative information in a module (for coursework management or small group teaching) or route (for attendance monitoring), but not change any of the data.

Assigning module/route roles across a whole department

It's now possible to give the Module Manager/Assistant/Auditor roles and Route Manager/Assistant/Auditor roles across an entire department, rather than just for individual modules and routes.

General improvements and fixes

  • A bug that caused monitoring scheme creation over multiple years to not work has been fixed
  • Archived assignments now continue to display in the 'Past' list for students
  • The 'View monitoring points' screen has been re-designed
  • Administration for a student is now managed by the department which holds the student's enrolment record for the current year of study
  • Seminar attendance for students is now shown on their student profile
  • A bug that meant the count of students in groups was inaccurate has been fixed
  • Students with non-latin characters in their names are now shown correctly in student profiles (previously, some characters were replaced with question marks)
  • It's now possible to allocate more than 256 students to a small group
  • Tooltips no longer flash away quickly under some circumstances
  • An error when recording attendance has been fixed
  • A bug that meant the number of items of feedback for an assignment was inaccurate has been fixed
  • Monitoring points now only apply to a student's most significant course
  • Supervisors imported from SITS now correctly imports multiple supervisors again
  • A bug that meant some submissions made under British Summer Time now display an hour out has been fixed
