Tabula 2019.12.3 released

We released Tabula 2019.12.3 on Wednesday 18th December 2019. In this version:

    • We replaced the manual process of uploading missed monitoring points at the end of each term. When a monitoring point is recorded as ‘Missed (unauthorised)’, it's now immediately uploaded to SITS e:Vision. Only unauthorised missed points are uploaded; authorised missed points are not. If the attendance of the point is then changed, the missed point is removed from SITS. This means that points incorrectly recorded as 'Missed (unauthorised)' can now be corrected in SITS from within Tabula.

    • When you add students on a given module to a small group set, students with deleted registrations for the module are no longer included. The module filter is available when you link students to the group set by SITS query, on the Properties page.
    • When a student has more than one course, personal tutors and supervisors for any 'additional' courses can now see the student in their list of tutees / supervisees. Previously, this was only true for the student's primary course.
    • We fixed a bug that prevented the download of template spreadsheets for allocating personal tutors.
    • The utility bar, at the top of the page, now includes a 'System status' link. This goes to the 'University of Warwick system status' page. There you'll see details of issues affecting Tabula and other Warwick applications.
    • We improved the 'Contact your administrator' facility, accessed via the 'Need help?' button. Notifications of requests for help are now sent to all relevant Departmental Administrators. Previously, only the first person to be assigned that role within the department was notified. Departmental Administrators can unsubscribe from these notifications via 'Tabula settings'. If doing so means no-one in the department will receive the notifications, a warning is displayed.
