Release notes for web applications

SiteBuilder 2.463 released

We released SiteBuilder 2.463 on Tuesday 2nd February 2021. In this version:

  • We added more detailed guidance to the privacy notice templates used in forms. This standard text includes contact details for addressing data protection queries, and is appended to your form's specified privacy notice.
  • We added guidance for users requesting a new Go redirect. Target pages must be compliant with web accessibility, GDPR and University brand guidelines.
  • We fixed a bug which caused browsers to focus on Date fields when navigating to a form.
  • We fixed a bug so that tags containing special characters, such as '+', remain selected when browsing events calendars.
  • We improved 'drag into category' questions in quizzes. Options now return to their original location if dragged outside of the available categories.

Tabula 2021.1.4 released

We released Tabula 2021.1.4 on Friday 29th January 2021. In this version:

  • We completed some preparatory work for the forthcoming Self-Certification functionality.
  • The table on the 'Submissions and feedback' page for an assignment can now be sorted by the contents of the 'Plagiarism report' column.
  • Timetables for previous years now display all relevant small group teaching events (for performance reasons, Tabula 2021.1.2 temporarily restricted timetables to showing small group teaching events in the current year only).
  • The 'attendance last updated' details shown on the 'Record attendance' page for an event are now correct. A bug caused the time and date of the first update to be displayed, rather than the latest.

Tabula 2021.1.3 released

We released Tabula 2021.1.3 on Thursday 21st January 2021. In this version:

  • We added a new small group set type, 'SGT Lecture':
    • This is for imported Syllabus+ lecture events.
    • When you import small groups from Syllabus+, you may see sets of groups listed as 'SGT Lectures'. Importing such a set results in a Tabula small group set of the type 'SGT Lecture', with the corresponding lecture events.
    • You can also manually create a Tabula small group set of this type and then import the relevant Syllabus+ lecture events on the Events screen.
    • You allocate students to the groups in 'SGT Lecture' sets in Tabula. No allocations are held in or imported from Syllabus+.
    • Events within Syllabus+ 'SGT Lectures' groups are not shown on timetables in Tabula via the Syllabus+ timetable feed. You can instead display the imported events to staff and students when you publish the groups in Tabula. The events are labelled 'Lecture'.
    • When you publish the groups, both the 'Staff' and 'Students' checkboxes are pre-selected.
    • In contrast, for group sets of type 'Lecture', the 'Students' checkbox is unselected and a warning that the events may duplicate a Syllabus+ whole cohort event is displayed.
  • We completed some preparatory work for improvements to how resits are generated in Marks Management.
  • The checks completed when small groups are created within Tabula or imported from a spreadsheet are now consistent. We also restored the validation message shown, via either method, when a group has no name.
  • We added the facility for students' profiles to show their preferred pronouns. This relies on a change to eVision, to provide students the option of specifying their preferred pronouns during course registration. Once this is complete and the pronouns are available in SITS, Tabula will import and display them.

SiteBuilder 2.462 released

We released SiteBuilder 2.462 on Monday 18th January 2021. In this version:

  • We improved the formatting of notifications sent from news pages. This makes the page name and news item's title clearer to the user, when a news item has been created or edited.

Tabula 2021.1.2 released

We released Tabula 2021.1.2 on Thursday 14th January 2021. In this version:

  • Tabula now only retrieves small group teaching events in the current year when you view a timetable. This is to reduce the load on the Tabula database and improve performance.
  • Thanks to Oscar Harris and Michael Gale for the following open source contributions:
    • Oscar simplified the configuration process required for contributors to work on the Tabula code. He also improved the documentation for this process.
    • Michael improved the Tabula API such that you can now use it to add students to, and register attendance at, small group teaching event occurrences.
