Tabula release notes
Tabula 2019.11.4 released
We released Tabula 2019.11.4 on Friday 29th November 2019. In this version:
- We added a 'course occurrence' filter to exam grids. This is for courses where students can begin at different points within an academic year, for example.
- The maximum size of an assignment submission that can be checked for plagiarism by Turnitin has increased to 100MB (see Turnitin's file requirements). It was previously 40MB.
- When the assignment setting ‘Automatically check submissions for plagiarism’ is enabled, submissions are now sent to Turnitin when they are received. They were previously sent when the assignment closed. The change is to avoid delays in processing submissions now that there is a default assignment close time of 12 noon on a working day.
- For mitigating circumstances panels, the chair, secretary and members are now notified by email when:
- The panel is created
- Someone is added
- Someone is removed
- The panel name, date, time or location is changed
- Mitigating circumstances submissions are added
- We fixed a bug affecting the adding of notes to mitigating circumstances submissions. At the same time, we made it possible to upload a file attachment as a note without including any text in the Notes box.
- Exam grids now contain a key to the codes used for mitigating circumstances gradings. The codes are A (Weak / Mild), B (Moderate), C (Severe) or R (Rejected). For acute mitigation, which will already have been taken into account, the codes become A0, B0, C0 and R0. The key is included in the onscreen preview, and in the downloadable versions of the grid.
- We fixed a bug causing attendance reports to show inaccurate personal tutor details.
- We fixed the preview text in notification emails. Preview text is the beginning of each message, displayed in your list of messages in certain email applications, such as Outlook and Gmail.
