New release of Allocate - Simpler registration period edits, clearer proposals, and better permission feedback


This release moves Registration period editing into the Allocate Overview for faster, less error‑prone updates and makes proposal scope easier to understand in the detailed view. It also improves permission error messages so users why they have problems updating a group or allocating a student.

This release is pushed to test at release date and production a week later.

Improvements

  • Registration period management in Edit menu
    • What changed: The Registration period page has been removed and replaced with “Registration period” under the Edit menu in Allocate Overview.
    • Why: Aligns with other edit actions, reduces context switching, and requires both start and end dates to prevent partial entries.
    • Also new: You can now clear a registration period when needed.

    • Benefit: Quicker validation and easier cross‑reference when reviewing proposals.

  • More actionable permission errors
    • What changed: When a user tries to modify a group or allocate a student without the required permissions, the error message clearly states the restriction and where it applies.
