Release notes for web applications
Tabula 2020.1.4 released
We released Tabula 2020.1.4 on Thursday 30th January 2020. In this version:
- You can now record an attendance note for a Small Group Teaching event for all students at once. There is the option to overwrite existing notes or leave them in place.
- Mitigating Circumstances Officers are now alerted to assessments with deadlines outside of the period covered by a Mitigating Circumstances claim. A warning triangle is displayed next to the date of any such assessment.
- Within ‘Reports’, when you generate a list of students on the ‘Export profiles’ page there is now a checkbox at the top to select all of them.
- For moderated assignments, the ‘Marking’ page for moderators now features a ‘Mark’ column next to ‘Marker Mark’. This displays the moderated mark, enabling moderators to see which marks they have changed.
- Markers are now able to download the feedback they uploaded for assignment submissions.
- The ‘Marking’ page for assignments with a feedback deadline now displays this at the top. The deadline is also included in the email notifications sent to markers when the assignment is released for marking.
- The ‘Missed event attendance by module’ report now excludes authorised absences. This makes it consistent with:
- The ‘Attendance’ page in students’ profiles
- The attendance page for a given module within Small Group Teaching
- When you copy a marking workflow featuring moderation from a previous year, the copy now retains the correct setting for who chooses which submissions to moderate.
- We now prevent invalid characters within the ‘Accepted attachment file types’ box on the ‘Edit assignment options’ page for an assignment. Previously, it was possible to specify ‘docx;’, for example, and the semicolon prevented the setting working as intended.
- We made it possible to remove all attachments from a mitigating circumstances claim. Previously, it was impossible to remove the last attachment.
- When you are signed in and email to request support via the pop-up box in Tabula, your username is now read only. This is so the Help Desk raises the resulting support call in your name. You can access the pop-up box from any Tabula page by selecting the 'Need help?' button in the top right and then following the link under 'Technical support' at the bottom of the 'Need help?' page.
Tabula 2020.1.3 released
We released Tabula 2020.1.3 on Thursday 23rd January 2020. In this version, in the Mitigating Circumstances component:
- We fixed a bug that prevented the display of certain affected assessments once outcomes were recorded.
- Images uploaded as evidence now display the right way round in all supported browsers, whether they were taken in portrait or landscape orientation.
- We fixed a bug that caused affected assessments to appear on a submission even when they were not selected.
- It's now possible to record acute outcomes for affected assessments of type 'Other'.
- We fixed a bug that caused certain assignments and exams to appear on the 'Other' tab in the 'Which assessments have been affected? section. This is also fixed for assignments and exams that are manually added to a submission.
SiteBuilder 2.428 released
We released SiteBuilder 2.428 on Friday 17th January 2020. In this version:
- When you copy a page, you can now specify the 'Page heading' and 'Title bar caption' of the copy. This means you no longer have to change these afterwards by editing the page's properties.
- We now display a pop-up information box when technical issues affect SiteBuilder. The box links to the University's 'system status' page, which provides further information: .
- We improved accessibility in the visual editor by making it possible to use the <Tab> key to access all fields within pop-up boxes. For example, when you're editing a page and add a link you can now <Tab> into the 'URL' field in the 'Link' pop-up box.
- We restored the ability for you to comment on a page edit when using the Raw editor.
Tabula 2020.1.2 released

We converted all assignments created in the old coursework management component (CM1) to assignments in the current component (CM2). This means you can now open and edit these assignments within CM2.
Tabula 2020.1.1 released
We released Tabula 2020.1.1 on Thursday 9th January 2020. In this version:
- Students are once again able to download their extension request attachments. Previously, this resulted in a 'Not found' error.
