Release Notes

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

The member report should show the student participation- EV-348

The member report with the student responses provides only the total number of students that have responded the evaluation. A change has been applied to not only show the total number of respondents but also the response rate (%).

‍

The 'raw answers' report download should also include standard questions - EV-349

The 'raw answer' report download option only exported so-called member questions. This has been extended to not only export the member questions but also the standard questions.

‍

The teacher should only be evaluated once - EV-351

In case there are multiple member blocks defined, the persons (teacher) defined were shown multiple times (for each defined member block). A fix has been applied that will prevent this from happening and only show the person (teacher) once if there are multiple member blocks defined.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

As a user I want to see which 'tab' I'm on in the Browser title - SG-473

The shown Browser title was always default to the standard configured title, e.d. Study guide. So in case multiple Browser tabs are openen showing different Study guide tabs, e.g. Programs, a Module, a Minor, these are all name 'Study guide' in the Browser Tab title. A change has been applied to use the name of te selected Tab or Product (individual Module, Program) and so improve user experience and usability of multiple tabs.

‍

As an administrator I should be able to select and configure descriptive texts - SG-464 (Hotfix)

Due to a change in the previous release the description select-box used to select and configure descriptive texts in the different widgets didn't show any items anymore. This has been fixed, so the Curriculum configured descriptive text items are available for selection again.

‍

Switching between the student and staff AI-agent should reset the conversation - SG-471

When switching between the student and staff AI-agent, the conversation and 'AI learned context' was not cleared but kept. This could cause incorrect results, since the context was considered in responding to the users prompt. This has been fixed, so changing the AI-agent tab will reset the context, so the proper AI-model and context is used.

‍

As an administrator I want to configure context relevant 'pre-set' AI prompts - SG-439

The AI function supports the usage of pre-set prompts that can be used to assist the users in providing ideas and reuse these prompts. Especially for the staff AI external (module) matching functionality that matches external obtained modules / minors against the institutes offered modules and minors preset prompts that only requires to paste the external module information to execute the match will be a great help and time-saver.

These pre-set prompts were hard-coded and not changeable by the admin, to improve prompts to the institutes context, create new prompts. In this release the administrator option has been added to define and configure prompts. The defined prompts will be shown to the user in the relevant AI agent (staff or student).

The staff AI-agent shows the different configured prompts above the prompt area. Clicking the pre-configured prompt will copy the prompt text into the prompt area.

Configuration

The administrator can configure prompts using the menu-option Chats.‍

• To add a new prompt, select the prompt button.
• To edit a prompt, click the 'pencil icon'

‍

The prompt information has 4 fields:

• Title: the title is shown as the clickable prompt information (balloon-button) above the AI-prompt section.
• Prompt: the prompt text that will be copied to the prompt area after clicking the prompt title (balloon-button)
• Authenticated: indicator if the AI-prompt is for the staff (authenticated is set) or the student AI-agent
• Visible: indicator if the AI-prompt should be shown. This supports definition of prompts, set them invisible instead of deleting and recreating them later.

Multiple different prompts can be defined as shown in the example. The list provides a mixture of prompts that are relevant and ease usage for the staff, but also provide helpful ideas and direct useful prompts for the students.

‍

• Added a functionality limiting very large object searches in the object selection box in Core, to help prevent performance issues by guiding users to narrow their search
• Add the possibility to filter on AutoPilot's error codes in AM, helping the users the find activities that couldn't be scheduled based on the same issue and thereby working more efficient to resolve the underlying issues
• Bug fixes/small improvements:
  • Made the sorting on alphabetic order of members working in membership exceptions 
  • Adjusted so size reservations are shown correctly when booked side by side 

• Improvements of Study Combinations:
  • Performance improvements to the Student Set generations, decreasing the generation time substantially
  • Shared activities are now taken into consideration when generating Student Set, marking the final process step of Shared Activities in it's first version completed
  • Student Set generation can now handle diverging sizes of track, in cases where the sizes are different on the different tracks in the same activity series
• It's now possible to add exact start time and weekday(s) when importing activities, letting you use these when scheduling as soft or hard constraints
• Introducing Calculated Fields, letting you have an activity field in Data Manager and Activity Manager that sums the values of a field on one or several objects
  • A common example is your student group sizes, where this field now can give you the total value of several student groups sizes to reflect the most recent enrollment estimations
  • The field is configured in DM by extending an existing import template or adding it while creating a new import template, adding a new column to your activities

Improvements

‍The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.
Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

The styling should be consistent - CUR-1986, CUR-2004 (Hotfix)

Due to the migration to using a different UI components the visualisation of some screens and components was not as clean and crisp as it should be.

• In some cases the content of the page was not shown in a clean white area, but was partly shown in the blue footer. This has been fixed in all cases identified.
• The date-time component could cause a loop when reloading or refreshing the page.

‍

Expressions used on specification should be year dependant - CUR-1959

When using expression on fields at specification level, the academic year was not respected, the values and operators used in the expression always used the first year the specification was created. This has been solved, so the year will be respected in expressions.

‍

The edit/create button for references should not disappear from the screen - CUR-1929

In case references were defined with a long definition, the definition display was not truncated causing the buttons to manipulate the reference were moved outside the screen. This has been solved to limit the shown length of the condition, so the various buttons are always visible.

‍

Offering pattern should be shown correctly - CUR-2000

In the previous sprint a pattern has been added to the offering to support configuring the display. There was an error in the shown formula example. This has to be:

• ‍join(:name, ' (', :(offering) location, ')') (instead of join(:name, ' (', :location, ')')

Next to that the pattern was only used in the structure tree. This has been extended and the pattern will now be used in all pages showing offering information.

‍

Add filter to subject matrix to support filtering on directly assigned subjects - CUR-1952

In case a subject (learning outcome / skill) is assigned to a module, based on configuration the module/subject combination can be assigned to specific programs. This means the module can have subjects that are just defined, and subjects that are defined and related to one or more programs. If a module has different subjects, they can be assigned to different programs.

The standard behaviour of the subject-matrix is that all modules and their subjects are shown if the module is part of the program. The new added filter allows for filtering to only show the modules that have a defined relation with the program at subject level.

‍

Module sorting in program overview is incorrect - CUR-1964

Due to the change with the offering pattern the filter order for modules in the program overview (structure) didn't sort correctly on period. This has been fixed, so the sorting is as it was before

‍

Add support for Finnish - CUR-1967

A new language pack to support Finnish has been made available.

‍

Column headers should be shown more compact - CUR-1977

The display of the column headers was broken, showing the column header and its options spread over 3 lines instead on a single line. This has been fixed.

‍

Dashboard tasks should be shown more compact - CUR-1978

The display of the dashboard tasks was broken, showing the task information spread over 3 lines instead on a single line. This has been fixed.

‍

Date information shown on a form page and admin tab should be equal - CUR-1961

There was a difference in displaying (and storing) dates between the admin tab and the form tab. This has been fixed.

‍

When deleting a task, this should be removed - CUR-1943

When deleting a task from a persons assignment list a message was shown 'task successfully deleted', but not in all cases the task was actually deleted. The cause has been found and fixed, so it's now possible to delete the tasks.

‍

Performance

The main focus for this sprint was on the performance issues reported when using extensive Workload Management based on large numbers of activities and using the Teaching structure / Schedule preferences screens with large numbers of activities (>200). A deep dive is done to find the cause and solutions to tackle these performance issues and give expected response times in these cases.

Activity hour and course budget calculation should not give server timeout on calculate - CUR-1921

There were indeed cases the server ended with a server timeout, depending on the number of activities and lecturers to be calculated when hitting the calculate button. The processing and calculation method has been improved and for the provided real-life cases that showed this behaviour the response is change from 'server timeout' (60 seconds) to an almost instant response.

‍

The activity report should provide proper response when filtering - CUR-1860

When using the activity report at faculty or program level having hundreds or even thousands of activities the behaviour was to always retrieve all data and then show the screen. At that moment the user could use the filter to select for instance the activities from a specific program or module(s).

Besides the performance changes in retrieving the activity information the page has been changes slightly. The user is first asked to provide a filter, since in most cases a filter list is required, before fetching the activities page by page. This will immediately give a proper response in a much shorter timeframe, and thus improving usability and user experience. The user can than filter within this subset.

‍

The activity report performance should be improved - CUR-1981

When retrieving the activity report, the performance was not good with high numbers of activities. This was caused by the fact the activity list validated each activity shown on validity. Where validity is the check if all required fields are defined on the activity. This could lead to a lot of checks.

In a proper designed process, the activities should be created correctly. The main role of the activity report is to provide an overview of the activites and manage the shown activities. This task does not require a full validation of each activity.

Since there are cases a full validation is still required, and there are cases the validation should not bother the function executed at that moment a configuration option is added to support 'validation' and 'no validation'. The default behaviour is 'no validation', by checking the option validate the validation behaviour is activated.

‍

Reduce the requirement to use individual activities - CUR-1858

Part of the performance issues are caused by a huge amount of activities. The original design is based on activity-series that contain activities. This leads to a reduced number of object compared to single activities and has the benefit of keeping track which activities are related.

Due to the fact activities in an activity-serie should all be the same (except for the activity week), in case for instance the title of an activity in a serie was used to express to students the content of the activity this was not possible. The fall-back in this case was to create all individual activities. Leading to a usage of the system in a non-anticipated way, with the mentioned drawbacks.

Based on the analysis a change has been made to stimulate and improve the usage of activity-series. The change applied is that activities within an activity-serie can have a different name and remark (multi-lingual).

‍

Retrieving the effort-list performance should be improved after recalculation - CUR-1951

The retrieval of the effort-list after a recalculation could take quite some time, depending on the number of tasks and staff assigned. The calculation, refresh of the information and retrieval of the information have all been revised and changed to provide a proper performance.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Gradually stop support for Basic Authentication - CUR-2001

As part of the migration from all test and acceptance environments to the shared TimeEdit Google stack, the support for authentication using Basic Authentication will be reduced. Existing configurations will be supported, but the advise is to migrate the interfaces using Basic Authentication will be migrated to using Bearer tokens for authorisation.

No action is required, but be aware that new integration requiring authentication will only support Bearer Token.

‍

Extend API and CSV support for standard routes - CUR-2001

Some time ago support to define and use standard routes for curriculums is added. A standard route provides a way of defining multiple routes with an advised path for students including modules, period and advised year. This can be used to provide specific info for September and February start, but also a route for a specific qualification or diploma.

Support for CSV upload is added, where the documentation is available via the Administration / CSV menu option.

Support for API upload and retrieval is added, using the endpoint route. The implementation details are available in the API documentation at https://timeedit.readme.io

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release mitigates the following vulnerabilities:

• CVE-2025-49146(8.8)
• CVE-2025-22233(2.29)
• CVE-2025-41232(9.3)
• CVE-2025-41234(7.4)
• CVE-2025-48988(7.5)

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍For more guidance on configuration and setup of Curriculum, use the relevant Curriculum manual.

This release improves the manual allocation workflow with improved group drawer functionality, allowing users to view and select students more efficiently.

The release will be available in test environments 10-07-2025, and in production environments 17-07-2025.

Improvements

Manual allocation

When it's not possible to automatically allocate students you sometimes need to resort to manually allocate students to the student groups. In this release we improve the system support to do this in a safe and efficient manner directly from the group drawer.

In the drawer its now possible to see allocated students

From the drawer, you can select from a list of enrolled students, to allocate to the group

In the next release we will also make it possible to copy allocations from another group, this group could be any group from any module. This feature will be useful when you want to keep a group of students together between different activities within or between modules.

Automatically update allocate proposal table status

The allocate proposal table is now updated is now updated every time its expanded, and as soon as status is updated removing the need to update the table.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the number of students with incomplete allocations was incorrectly reported at the module level when only one activity was selected. The count now accurately reflects the number of students with incomplete allocations at the activity level.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

Extend AI support for external course matching - SG-441

An add-on to study guide has been launched supporting administrative staff an AI-supported way to find matching modules for (new) students with external obtained credits. This AI-assistant is separated from the student AI-coach that helps students searching for programs, minor and/or courses that match their requirements.

In this release the employee AI-assistant response model has been changed to improve the behaviour, matching and response. Next to that the pre-configured question support is enhanced to only limit copy/past of the external module transcript that need to matched against an own module.

‍

The tab (order) of the AI-assistant and AI-coach should be configurable - SG-443

The tab and tab order of both the staff AI assistant and the student AI-coach was pretty 'hard-coded'. This has been changed in order to support the both AI entries as standard widgets with all the configuration options of standard widgets and the ability to add them to tabs. This includes providing an own title, AI introduction text, tab title and tab order.

Next to the standard Tab configuration two new options are added:

• authenticated - indicator to only show the AI-tab when authenticated. Typically used for the employee AI-assistant
• icon  - font awesome icon , used to add an star icon in front of the Tab title. For instance the ai-starts

Configuration:

• Add a widget with no Object type selected
• Set the widget type to Coach
• The label is used as the page introduction shown on the AI widget

• Add a new Tab
• Select the just created widget
• Define a Label for the tab
• Set the Sequence for the tab
• Optionally add an Icon shown in front of the label, e.g. wand-sparkles
• Set Authenticated if the widget configured is only for authenticated users (staff)

The assessment widget should be properly aligned - SG-447

The information message shown in the assessment widget was incorrectly aligned and dragged to the left. This has been fixed, and the information shown is again properly aligned.

‍

The study guide subject matrix should display colours and icons - SG-453

In Curriculum enhancements have been applied managing subjects with respect to using colours and icons displaying the level of the related subject. This release added support to the study guide subject matrix representation for the defined colours and levels.

Ideally it should be possible to use banner-like information display to users - SG-452

The functionality of the study guide is enhanced to support 'banner-like' information display. For example an highlighted information message shown in a tab or all tabs to highlight a year is not fully published.

The information display is available as a widget, which means all options of using widgets on tabs are supported for this new banner widget. Let's first look at the configuration and display the corresponding notification display.

Configuration:

• Add a widget of type Banner
The widget can shown:
  
  • Main tabs, between topbar and breadcrumbs. Usable on main tabs (e.g. study list)
  • Detail tabs (e.g. study ABC-1)
  • Sub-tabs (e.g. study/detail)
  • Fixed positions (e.g. sidebar sequence 4).
• Select widget field type Info
The widget is shown as an alert with configurable Severity. Severity is only shown for INFO widget fields; cleared otherwise.
• Use  Title and details (where other widgets use label and tooltip) .
• Optional define a Filter to restrict the display of the widget. Added shortcuts:
  • credits → credits.[opt/max/min]
  • language → language.externalId
  • year → currently selected year.id (the year selected in the dropdown)
• Add the banner to the relevant Page(s)

‍

Add a banner to be shown on a main tab

Add a banner information message to be shown in a widget

In this case there is already a defined widget, the general widget. A field of type Info is added to this widget, just like any other field.
In the example the info field is added after the credit field and will only appear if a certain filter value is met.

Batch (csv) upload of evaluations fails - EV-343

When importing a slightly larger csv with evaluations using the CSV import an error was thrown. Digging in the logs the issue was found and was an easy fix. The timeout for the CSV upload was set at a too short time and has now been extended to also support import of larger files.

‍

Adding a participant should not throw a server error - EV-342

Incidentally, adding an ad-hoc participant to an evaluation the applications showed a server error. This was caused in case an evaluation type was defined and the 'preferred email address recipient' has been left empty.

This has been fixed by:

• setting the default preferred email address recipient for all evaluation types on creation of a new type to Pubilc
• making the field preferred email address recipient a required field
• apply a script to check if there are types with no preferred email address recipient set, and set it to Public

Audit security findings - EV-344

Based on a security audit and its findings on accessibility of the internal-only used API a number of fixes have been applied to further 'restrict access' and 'data visualisation' accessing the API anonymous:

• API service blocks: the blocks are used in the anonymous reports and are therefore open accessible. The anonymous result has been modified to only provide the exact required information for the reports and no other fields.
• API service participate/progress: this seemed to be excluded from the authorisation (even though it was set) and allowed retrieval of evaluation information. This was caused by the fact the service has a / in it. This has been changed to participate-progress to use the intended authentication requirement.
• API service answers: provided some meta-data, but should give an error when accessing anonymous. This has been fixed.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.
Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Adding an activity to an offering duplicates the activity - CUR-1913 (Hotfix)

In case a module has multiple offerings in the same offering period and an activity is added, this activity was not only added to the selected offering but to all offerings in that period. This has been fixed, so offerings added to a module with multiple offerings per period will be created and assigned only to the selected offering period.

‍

Administrator overview of relations / roles should enable pagination - CUR-1941

The relation overview (admin) provides an overview of all relations / roles defined. The relations were retrieved, shown and the pages were calculated. However, when navigating to the second or further pages no relations were shown. The has been fixed, so pagination is working again.

‍

Adding a field of type Entity on an activity should work - CUR-1851

A custom-field of type entity, e.g. module, added to an activity supporting multiple values to be selected could not be added via the user interface. The issue was caused by the default visualisation option that allowed for searching for the module, selecting it, but then it didn't add it to the selected options. This has been fixed, so also with the default visualisation option custom-fields of type entity can be selected and will be added to the activity.

‍

As a user I want t to have a save option on the subjects selection page - CUR-1910

When adding subjects to a module or programs, the save button was not always shown. This was the case when long subject titles were used instead of using compact titles and using the description field to contain the extensive subject details. Due to the long titles the save button was pushed of the screen. This has been fixed, so the save button will always be available to allow adding subjects to modules and programs.

‍

As a user I would like to see extra fields defined on alternative offerings in the structure page - CUR-1790

In case a module has multiple offerings in the same period, that for instance are given at different location the structure tree only showed the offering period information, e.g. period 1, period 1, period 1, without giving the context of the individual offerings.

A new option is made available to support not only showing the period but also defined custom-fields on the offering. A pattern option is included to override the default display (period name) with a custom defined pattern. The pattern definition is using the standard functionality to define conditions and calculated fields.

The example below shows the configuration of a pattern that joins the period name and the location, e.g. semester 1 (Rotterdam).

When editing an activity-serie I want to use a popup workflow - CUR-1906

Most of the objects (e.g. module, module-group) support the option to use a workflow popup to edit the information. The activity-serie didn't support this option (yet) but has now been extended to support the workflow popup to edit the information using multiple tabs.

‍

As an administrator I want to configure the behaviour of expand all for the structure and planboard - CUR-1811

The standard (and only supported) behaviour of the planboard when clicking 'Select all' is that all module-groups that are owned by the study are expanded. Any module-group not owned will not be opened. In cases where module-groups are not owned by any study, but by a faculty the planboard would not expand any module-group based on 'expand all'.

A configuration option is added to the planboard template that allows the admin to configure the behaviour of 'expand all':

• Expand owned module-groups (default option)
• Expand all module-groups (new option), which will unfold all module-groups and not only the owned ones.

By adding this configuration option to the page template the option is supported to provide both options, by just creating two pages with both having another expand option set.

‍

Column period in reports should show period information - CUR-1920 (Hotfix)

A bug was introduced causing the period information not to be shown in the reports. It has been fixed and is already released as hotfix.

‍

Method-list template should use full page width and support column configuration - CUR-1880

The method-list template didn't use the full available width of the page, and tried to show the information in 30% of it. This has been changed, so the information is spread over the page width and more readable.

Next to that the columns shown in the method-list are made configurable, allowing the administrator to define the columns to be displayed and specify there order. Similar to other pages supporting selecting fields and defining their order.

The subject-matrix should show Chinese language correctly - CUR-1883

When using the subject-matrix with the Chinese language-pack the information shown in the header columns are shown upside down. This has been solved, so the Chinese information is shown in the proper display format.

‍

Subject-page change indicator should be clearly visible - CUR-1657

The subject-page showing an overview of the defined subjects on for instance a module provides insight in changes made using a visual (color) indicator. The indicator however was so small that it required laser vision to notifiy it.

The visualisation of the indicator has changed and is now in line with other pages showing change info. It is now using the color indicator (box) that contains the change text (Created, Updated, Deleted) to indicate if and what change has been applied.

The year copy should respect the ignore copy defined on additional custom-types - CUR-1890

When configuring a field with ‘Ignore copy’ it should not copy the value to a next year. But it was identified  the copy script only respected this for the root values not the additional values. This has been fixed, so the ignore-copy will exclude both root and additional custom-types from the year copy.

‍

Extended usability and functionality of the study route planner - CUR-1903

This release the functionality of the route planner has been extended with a number of options to broaden the usage and usability.

Data entry/selection improvements:

• Ease the selection of the advised period and create a cleaner and more readable user experience. Especially in case modules were offered multiple times, the offered vertically offered radio buttons were using a large portion of the screen per module. This has been changed to use a drop-down for selecting the preferred offering period.
• Support usage of time-blocks in the selection of the advised period.
• Ease and limit the selection of the advised Year/Phase for the module. The field was a 'number' field that could be entered by the user. This has been transformed into a dropdown select that will only offer the configured phases (Elements -> Phases).

‍

Added filter options:

• Advised period filter to filter (show) all modules having the selected period(s) as their advised period. This supports filtering all modules having an advised offering of semester 1.
• Year/Phase filter to filter (show) all modules that are advised within the context of one year. This supports showing only the modules that are advised for year 1.
• Show/Hide group option that will hide any grouping information and only show the modules. This can be used in combination with the year filter to show all modules for year 1 as a plain list of modules without their module-group context.

‍

When assigning a lecturer to an activity using the teacher-assign template, the filter should be respected - CUR-1881

The teacher-assign template is used to show a full list of all activities for a module, and allow direct adding of a lecturer to one or more of the activities. The list of activities can be filtered to limit the list of activities shown, e.g. only show the activities of type lecture in week 5.

If the filter was applied and a lecturer was assigned to one or more activities, the whole activity list was retrieved, but the filter was not applied. So in order to get the limited list, the filter need to be redefined or re-applied.

A fix and a performance change have been applied. The fix is to respect the defined filter and re-apply the filter after assigning a lecturer to one or more activities. The performance update is that only the activities that were changed (assign / un-assign lecturer) are updated in the list. This to prevent from retrieving the full list and thus improving performance. Especially for longer lists of activities this will have a substantial effect.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Loading activities using CSV could overwrite data in previous years - CUR-1867 (Hotfix)

In case activities are imported using CSV with only a relation to the year and period and no defined offering ID the last imported activity would 'update' the already imported activities with the effect of moving them to the last year imported.

A change is applied to use the academic-year as an identifying attribute during import, to not update but create an activity in the above situation.

The advise is to use the offeringId as a unique identifier, which will in all cases assign the activity to the correct offeringID and will prevent creating new activities if the provided offeringId doesn't exist in the provided year in the CSV. This is a safer and error prone approach.

‍

Person service should support changing of the assignment dates - CUR-1931

The person service supports creating persons and their assignments (HR contract). It was noted that the assignments could be created including a start date, but could not be ended by setting the end date.

This has been fixed so the assignment start and end date can not only be set on creation of the assignment, but can also be updated to support ending an assignment on a specific date.

‍

Version service should support paginated retrieval - CUR-1918 (Hotfix)

The version endpoint always returns last:true, even if the last page has not been reached. When using the last as value to retrieve the next page, it would always stop after the first page. This has been (hot)fixed so the last value is set correctly and only says 'true' in case it is really the last page.

‍

Curriculum to Activity Manager (AM) is extended to support object filter exchange - CUR-1901

The integration from Curriculum to Activity Manager already supported the exchange of all activities and activity-related information. The standard integration is extended to support the exchange of object filters using information defined in Curriculum.

Configuration:

• Use the Admin/Configuration field timeedit.client.activities to configure the object filter to be exchanged
• Configure the filter:
  
  • extId: the unique name of the object in AM
  • type: the identifier to say the exchanged info is an object filter (OBJECT_FILTER)
  • filterProperties: defines the property / properties to be used in the filter
    
    • ‍extId: the unique name of the object + attribute in AM
    • name: the value of the attribute to be used in the filter

The example below shows the configuration of an object filter to only show the rooms of type workgroup for 40-50 students.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities were reported, so a quiet sprint on that area

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

‍For more guidance on configuration and setup of Curriculum, use the relevant Curriculum manual.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

Changing year should not give an error message if module code has changed - SG-433

Modules shown in the study guide in an 'older year' showed all years in the year switcher to allow switching to the module in another year. In case the module (code) was not present in the new / other year an error was thrown. The year switcher has been updated and will only show the valid years, meaning the years the module (code) is available.

‍

As a Study guide user I want to see the module group credits - SG-434

The structure overview of the study is extended with module-group credit information.

The information shown is constructed as a <value> <label>, e.g. 30 credits or 30 ECTS

• Value: module-group -> credits -> optimum
• Label: TRANSLATIONS.CREDITS

‍

As a Study guide user I only want to see the 'Information' label in the structure tree if there is info - SG-436

The structure tree showed underneath each module group the title of the module group description defined as the 'in structure used description / explanation'. The title was shown underneath each module group, even if there was no information.

To improve readability of the structure tree the title will only be shown if there is actual data to be shown. If there is no text available, the title will not be shown.

‍

The subject matrix should show multiple levels if defined - SG-446

In Curriculum a change has been applied to support the definition of multiple levels for a module and a related subject (learning outcome). In case a multi-level relation was defined, this caused the study guide to show no relation at all. Basically since the subject matrix was not yet 'multi-value' ready.

This has been fixed, so if there are multiple levels defined they ar shown properly.

In a next sprint an addition will be made to enable usage of the 'icons' that represent the level-value in the visualisation, instead of the 'L', 'F' values.

‍

The teachers should be shown underneath each-other and not next to each-other- SG-445

A bug was introduced showing the teachers in the information widget. The teachers were no longer shown underneath each other (in a readable way), but show next to each-other. This lead to unreadable values in case multiple teachers were assigned. This has been fixed, so the teachers are now shown again underneath each-other in a readable format.

‍

As an authorised user I want to validate a new published year prior to opening it for students and staff - SG-438

A new standard behaviour is added in case a new year is defined and imported. A new year, in fact all active years defined, will be available for the administrator. This allows for validation of a new year by the administrator prior to open it for the users.

The configuration options used are:

• The year configuration attribute 'active'
  This attribute is used to define which configured years are actively synchronised and potentially available for users. e.g. 2023, 2024, 2025
• The system setting 'visible years'
  This setting which years are available for users, e.g. 2023, 2024

‍

When using filtered Tabs there should be no switching to another tab - SG-450

In case filtering was used for tabs, using multi-value filters (e.g. type=Bachelor,Master,Associate-Degree and type=Minor) when selecting program of a specific type, the tab could be switched to another tab.

It took some detailed investigation determining the exact behaviour and from there define a proper solution to select the right Tab. This has been fixed, so the right tab is selected.

As a side-effect there was also created a performance improvement and in case the 'tab filter' was also shown as a selectable filter option at the search page, the non-configured values in the 'tab-filter' are removed. So in the above example this means that on the Minor tab, only the value Minor is shown and the Ba, Ma and Ad are filtered.

‍

Year filter should be shown on all tabs - SG-456

The year filter should always be accessible. It was noted that the switcher was not shown on the main tabs anymore.
This has been fixed, so switching between years is again always available.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

As an administrator I would be able to define a report with the feedback at the bottom - EV-337

The current publishing of reports will show the 'feedback / comment' section at the top of the report. For some reports it is desired to show this section at the bottom of the report acting as a conclusion to the report shown above (in that case).

A configuration option is added to the report template configuration to support showing the 'feedback/comment' section at the bottom of the report

Configuration

• Set the 'Show Feedback Last' option to 'checked' to force the section to be shown at the bottom of the report
  Default behaviour (option is not checked) sis feedback shown at the top.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

‍

This release delivers two major enhancements: an expanded reservation conflict detection system and a completely redesigned allocate overview table.

Improved handling of reservations and conflict control

The new conflict control system now considers a wider range of student reservations. In addition to the reservations managed in Allocate for groups that students are currently in or will be allocated to in the current period will now also include:

• Reservations that a student object is on directlyExample: Student is directly on reservations for a module where the student is a teaching assistant.
• Reservations for objects where the student is a member of, but are not part of the current periodExample: A full year module that the student was registered to in a previous period or student is a teaching assistant, and this is implemented via the student object being a member to a teaching assistant object.

These changes also introduce the possibility to more granularly define what type of reservations to be included. This is achieved by defining a reservation mode to filter on. If you already use this for setting up student pages in Viewer, it is probably also applicable for Allocate and Registration. Contact support to get further help setting this up.

Table in allocate overview is replaced

Allocate overview table has been replaced, all the functionality is there with small changes in the design, the notable improvements are:

• Improved responsiveness, made possible by pagination.
• Limitations working with more than 1000 modules has been removed.
• Improved table stability - prevents data shifting and layout changes while scrolling
• Design aligned with other parts of the product.

This change will be made available to test organisations June 19th, and enable for all instances June 30th.

Make progress visible with the new progress overview

Monitoring submission status just became a whole lot easier. The new Progress page in Preferences gives administrators a clear overview of who has submitted, who hasn’t, and who might need a gentle reminder. You can group responses by fields on the primary object such as campus or school, and apply filters to quickly find the information you need.

• Stay on top of submission status across your organisation
• Filter the recipient list by response status
• Group progress by meaningful attributes like faculty, campus, or department

The new functionality is now available to all customers within Preferences v.3.

To explore the feature in more detail, visit our Knowledge Base article.

Visualise your exam room with our new seat layout

With our new seat layout functionality in Exam, you can now visualise exactly where each student is seated - turning abstract seat numbers into an intuitive visual map. Each seat appears in a grid layout based on room capacity and configuration, helping exam managers to get a clear overview at a glance.

• Easily spread exams across your exam venues
• Configure room layout using columns and capacity
• Allocate seats manually or in bulk, with special attention to individual needs

The first version of this seat layout is now available to everyone using our new exam module on v.3. If you wish to get into the details, head over the this article in our Knowledge base!

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.
Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Details of a request in the request log is not shown - CUR-1849 (Hotfix)

The request log provides an overview of all integration messages exchanged from and to Curriculum. When clicking a single line, a modal should open providing all the message details. The modal however wasn't shown on click anymore. This has been (hot)fixed to enable proper access to the request log details.

‍

In case a module is a copy from another module, the originating module should be available - CUR-1842

When creating a new module based on a copy of an already existing module, a reference (module code) to the originating module is added to the new module. The custom-field used is originalId (technical name) and is made available to be selected and added to module reports. Furthermore, the field can be shown on the general tab, so it's immediately clear if and what the originating module is.

When creating a new year, the originalId is not copied, to prevent providing copy information that was only relevant in the previous year when the copy was made.

‍

As an administrator I want better insight and management options for configuration changes applied - CUR-1613

When testing new configuration options these are mostly first implemented and tested in an acceptance environment. Once the configuration is tested and approved, the configuration will be migrated (re-done) in the production environment. The audit trail provided an overview of all configuration changes made, with the option to filter the changes made between defined dates. In case a huge number of changes were made during this date interval, and multiple users were migrating the configuration to production the overview could get lost.

A change has been made to the audit trail to offer better support handling changes:

1. The audit trail offers a direct link to the object affected during the change, e.g. direct open the page that has been changed
   The direct link cannot be added to all changes, but for the most used change-types they are available
2. A checkbox is added to enable marking a change has been handled, for instance in Production
3. A filter is added to the search to show all handled, or not handled changes

A pro-tip could be to keep your audit-trail clean and once a configuration migration has been done and tested on production it could be a wise idea to remove the 'old' audit-trail from the acceptance environment using the Script 'Clear audit logs'.

‍

Characters should not be replaced with encoded characters in plain text descriptions - CUR-1855 (Hotfix)

In case a descriptive text has been marked as 'plain text' some characters were changed into HTML encoding. E.g, > was translated to > and shown as such in the plain text.
This has been fixed by excluding plain text descriptions from any form of encoding characters.

‍

The subject matrix should provide a filter that only shows the modules with directly relation to a subject - CUR-1833

In case a subject (learning outcome / skill) is assigned to a module, based on configuration the module/subject combination can be assigned to specific programs. This means the module can have subjects that are just defined, and subjects that are defined and related to one or more programs. If a module has different subjects, they can be assigned to different programs.

The standard behaviour of the subject-matrix is that all modules and their subjects are shown if the module is part of the program. The new added filter allows for filtering to only show the modules that have a defined relation with the program at subject level.

‍

The subject management screen for module should show the information clearer - CUR-1835

In the above mentioned improvement the module / subject assignment to one or more programs is mentioned. The visualisation of the subject management screen with the fields configured to show the subject -> study relation showed all information for the different columns on a single line. The visualisation is improved to show the information in a more user-friendly manner, by showing information on a single line and providing tooltips on description information that exceeded the column width.

Description page should not show the text for simplified Chinese twice - CUR-1883

In case both traditional and simplified Chinese are configured as supported languages for descriptive texts, the texts were shown twice for simplified Chinese. This has been fixed by using a more strict language code matching pattern, so the information is in all cases shown only once as it should be.

‍

Deleted offerings, related activities-series and lecturers should not be used in workload calculations - CUR-1896

In case an offering is removed (logical deletion) from a module, and that offering had assigned activity-series and lecturers on the activity-series the workload calculation for that module also included these hours. This has been fixed, so removed offerings are now excluded from the calculations.

‍

Column headers should not be mixed-up in the organisation report - CUR-1888

A bug was found where the header columns of the organisation report were not shown above the right (corresponding) column. This causes the data shown in the correct header not having the right header. This has been fixed, so the header and data shown are inline again.

‍

The activity-series-report template should show the correct defined report-templates - CUR-1892

The activity-series-report template configuration provides, like all other report-based templates, the option to select an available predefined report template with the relevant columns and filtering in place. In this case, the report templates from an incorrect data type were shown. This has been fixed, so the correct templates are shown as selectable options.

‍

Date and date-time fields should be editable - CUR-1876 (Hotfix)

A bug was introduced that prevented to edit date and date-time fields. This has been (hot)fixed, so these fields can be edited again.

‍

The scheduled-activity report template should support showing the sum of the duration per activity-series - CUR-1311

The report showed a column that calculated the hours per activity-series. The request was to add a 'sum' value at the bottom of that column.

We not only did at that sum option, but created a second column to visualize both the calculation of all hours for the activity (existing) and the calculation of the hours per student.
The big difference is:

• the 'total hours' formula contains the number of groups, so 4 activities of 2 hour for 4 groups = 4 * 2 * 4 = 32 hours.
• the 'student hours' doesn't use the number of groups, so 4 activities of 2 hour for 4 groups = 4 * 2 = 8 hours.

Both columns are visible and show the total hours.

Configuration:

• Navigate to the custom-page of the scheduled-activity-report
• Select the tab Fields
• Add the field named Total student duration

‍

Hyperlinks in notification are not clickable for the recipient - CUR-1792

In case a hyperlink was added to a notification, after sending the notification to the recipient the link was no longer clickable. This has been fixed, to the link can not only be defined, but is also clickable for the recipient.

‍

Prevent admins to define a calculation with the same filter twice - CUR-1706

We noticed that in case a calculation rule was defined with the same filter, the screen was refreshed and a change was made to either one of the two, the other one disappeared. This was caused since the condition should only appear once in a rule, and the logic didn't cater for this edge case. The improvement applied is that in case a second calculation rule is defined with the same condition, the user is warned it cannot be saved and the condition should be defined/changed.

A simple fix, but a fun story to find out what was actually happening behind the scenes.

‍

URL clicked should be used as the final URL even if SSO login is required - CUR-1816

In case a URL to a page in Curriculum is sent as a hyperlink and the user clicks it, the user should end up on that page. In case the user was not logged in (yet), the user first has to login. In case the login was based on standard SSO, the link information was lost and the user ended up at the dashboard. This has been fixed, so the user will end up on the page set in the link, even after SSO login.

‍

As a program coordinator I want to have insight in the used assessment types - CUR-1836

A new template (assessments-matrix) has been added to provide a matrix based overview of the assessment types used in a program, including the quantity of the different types.

It is a first iteration of the template, where we would love to get feedback on functionality (filtering, sorting, sum, ...) that might be of value for this report.

‍

‍

The weekly availability pattern and incidental availabilities should be on separate pages - CUR-1735

The weekly availability pattern was extended with a 'pretty well hidden' option to add specific unavailabilities, for instance a training or conference on specific dates.

To improve readability and prepare for some upcoming changes around the ad-hoc unavailabilities the page is split into two different pages:

• availability-preferences (formerly know as schedule-preferences) template to define you weekly pattern
• availability-request template to define you ad-hoc unavailabilities

Both pages are available to be used in Tabs and in Workflow, opening up the path to allow users to do an ad-hoc unavailability request and include an approval step. The support for this case will be improved in the upcoming sprints.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Person updates should be immediately effective when updating via the API - CUR-1865 (Hotfix)

By adding the option to manage additional attributes on person level, e.g. skills, qualification, the audit-trail and change approval functionality was added too. This could have a side effect that in case a manual change was applied to a person that has not yet been approved and the API got an updated for that person the change was not applied due to the pending change.

Since the change overview and approval was not shown correctly for persons, it was not clear if there were pending changes to understand why a specific change was not applied.

This has lead to three changes:

1. Enable access to the change log at person level
2. Enable the option to approve pending changes
3. Add an option to the person configuration to enable the API to bypass and immediately approve changes applied using the API

Especially the last option should be set in case users are automatically provisioned and person information can and is still managed manually in production environments.

Configuration

• Navigate to the person custom types (general tab)
• Set the option Approve automatically to true

‍

The minimal supported length for an external ID should be 72 - CUR-1857

As part of the integration between the different TimeEdit products the minimal supported size for externalId's in Curriculum has been set to 72 for the objects that had a smaller supported length. This to stay in line with the supported length in the other products which is set to 72.

‍

Activity import using CSV should not overwrite activity-series in previous years - CUR-1867

In case activity-series are uploaded using CSV and the used externalId was equal to an already earlier used one, the activity-serie was moved and not created as a new one. Which could be considered 'as designed', since the same externalId was used. But still a change has been applied to prevent this from happening.

When loading data not only the externalID is used, but also the year the data is loaded for. By changing the uniqueness check to this combination including year, a CSV import will create a new activity-serie in the year the upload is done for.

‍

Roles no longer active / ignored should not be present in a message - CUR-1810

The standard message didn't filter out any inactive / ignored roles. This meant the roles were part of the message, including the persons related to that role. Since most of the integration process the roles (relations) based on their type, this issue has not been noticed before. This has been fixed, so inactive/ignored roles (relations) are no longer part of the messages

‍

API service name for schedule-preferences is changed- CUR-1735

Due to the nature and extend of the usage of the users weekly pattern and other availabilities, the end-point schedule-preferences is renamed to availability-preferences (as part of the earlier mentioned improvement on separating the weekly availability pattern and incidental (un)availabilities.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities were reported, so a quiet sprint on that area

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

HTML injection in comment reply field - CUR-1841 (Hotfix)

As part of our regular security audit, performed by an external specialised party, only a small issue has been found.

There was a possibility to inject HTML in a comment reply field when asking a user for advise, which is considered a vulnerability for content spoofing. We directly solved this issue, even though it was classified as minor.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

Introduce a new visualisation showing offering periods - SG-420

A new visualisation widget for offering periods named PERIODS_TIMELINE has been introduced next to the PERIODS_VALUE (e.g. P1, S2).

The period widget that is based on the PERIODS_TIMELINE can be used both in the detail pages and list pages.
It will default visualise the periods as shown above. In case multiple offering periods are defined and there is an overlapping period (e.g., S1 and Q2+Q3), the display will fall back for that specific module to the standard value representation (S1, Q2+Q3).

Configuration

The configuration starts with the standard configuration of a new widget, and add a field based on the PERIODS_TIMELINE template.

In the example below the standard module-search-header is configured to show the module title, the credits and the periods as timeline visualisation.

‍

The configuration of the field credits is straight-forward. Just define the field credits is based on PERIODS_TIMELINE and the config is done.

The visualisation is added to the search result, which means the search result is as shown below. In this case we added a module with overlapping periods, to show that happens in that specific case.

Learning outcome / skill matrix should show the levels and objectives - SG-437

As part of the change in Curriculum to support the definition of multiple levels to a single subject, the visualisation of the learning outcome / skill matrix was incorrect. The levels were not shown anymore. This has been fixed, so the matrix will show the subjects, objectives and the level(s) assigned to them again.

‍

Standardise setup and usage of test and acceptance environments - SG-414

As part of the delivery of a central managed test infrastructure different development, configuration and infrastructure supporting tasks have been executed during this release. This to standardise new server creation processes, deployment of new versions, routing of the previous URL to the URL of the new server that is or will be migrated to the shared test environment.

The main benefit of the shared test environment (infrastructure) that the overall operation of maintaining and managing the TE servers with the different TE products in this test domain is standardised. This also means a more automated, and even more focussed management can be performed not having to manage different, non-shared infrastructure components.

‍

New study-guide add-on (work in progress)

Study guide AI-Edith for the student administration - SG-428

A new add-on is being added to the study guide for staff only, using the power of AI and the information stored in the study guide to provide easy to use, powerful search options for staff members, e.g. the student administration.

The AI based add-on provides an easy way for the administration to find matching modules for (new) students with waivers or externally obtained credits they want to use in their study. The cumbersome task of finding a matching internal module (or minor) that meets the information such as learning outcomes, credits, level, etc. from the external module is eased using this add-on.

The option is available for employees only, and will offer the administrator the option to define pre-configured 'basic questions' that can be used as the foundation of a search and can be enriched with information from the external module. The found module(s) and their information are directly accessible via one click. The user can use a next prompt to detail further and get closer to the result, or just restart a new search with one click to make the AI 'forget' all previous information.

During the next Sprints / versions the functionality will be further developed by adding some easy to use helpers, add the edit option for administrators to define and manage preset questions, adjust the used AI-model to improve the representation of the search results.

The long awaited and award winning feature, that allows distribution of students between modules based on attributes such as Nationality or Program of study is now available.

Improvements

Distribute students based on an attribute.

• It is now possible to set instructions to the allocation algorithm to distribute students between groups based on an attribute, such as Nationality or Program of study. Perfect to use when you want to create a diverse learning environment.

• The algorithm will apply this as a soft rule, meaning that, once it has created a proposal where all students gets a conflict free schedule, it will create groups that are evenly sized and diverse as possible (based on the configured attribute).

Bugs

• For groups with total dedication set to less than 100%, there is a part of the group that is un-dedicated. Allocation algorithm failed to allocate students to those un-dedicated seats. This has now been fixed

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.
Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

As a program or resource manager I want to see the total costs of my study based on resources used - CUR-1489

In the previous sprints / versions changes has been made to support definition of resource based cost-lines at activity, activity-serie and module level. This sprint brings it all together in a study report that provides a consolidated overview from the total estimated study costs all the way down to the individual costs of an activity.

‍

Conditional fields on study offering are not respected - CUR-1788

When using a condition on a custom-field to show/hide in case the condition is met was not executed on the active form, but required reload of the page to show the field that should be shown since the condition was changed by setting the value of another field. This has been changed, so the validation of the condition and display of the hidden custom-field will no be executed immediately on the active form.

‍

Workload task report shouldn't show the code for the task type - CUR-1784

The task report showed both the name of the task and the defined technical code (e.g., (examCommittee) Committee, (education) Teaching). This information has no relevance for the users of this report and even made the report less readable. This has been fixed, so only the name of the task is shown, to improve readability.

‍

Extend the download of the subject-matrix - CUR-1623

The subject-matrix template (report) provides the option to add additional columns to be shown next to the grid, e.g. period, phase. These added columns were not exported to the Excel/CSV export. This has been changed, so the Excel/CSV export will now also contain the added fields.

‍

Extra columns in the structure tree not shown (correctly) - CUR-1760

In the occasion the externalId was used as an added column in the structure-tree template, the column header was shown, but no data was shown This was only the case for the externalId. This has been fixed, so if the externalId is added to the module lines, the module externalId is shown.

‍

When edition a subject as a user I would like to see the code and name - CUR-1757

When editing a subject, there was no header shown, only the data that can be edited. This means that as a user you should have remembered which one you selected or at least select the correct one to be sure of the one your editing. The usability / behaviour has been improved and both the code and the name of the chosen subject is shown in the header of the subject edit screen.

‍

Subject name not fully shown in the subject overview - CUR-1789

The subject page template showed only a limited number of characters of the name of defined subjects. Since in some installation the name is quite extensive, a large part of the name was cut-off and not visible in the report. This has been changed, so the full name will be shown in the report. In case a name exceeds the column-width, it will continue on the next line(s).

‍

Error when deleting a study as admin in case an advice had been given - CUR-1783

The Delete (with history) option that provides the administrator the option to physically delete a study couldn't be executed if an advice had been given for the study. This has been changed, so the delete will delete the study, including the advice, and not give an error that it's blocked.

‍

Added new placeholder to the notification templates - CUR-809

A new placeholder [STATUS_MESSAGE] has been added to the notification templates. This placeholder will be replaced with the latest comment given at the status transition in the notification sent.

‍

A date field shown in the curriculum tree should be shown as date - CUR-1806

This issue feels like a flashback. The curriculum tree provides support for adding additional columns to be shown. In case a custom-field of type Date is added, this is displayed as a timestamp (YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS.mmm).
This was in the previous sprint fixed for on module level and is now also fixed at group level so a date field is properly shown adhering to the configured visualisation format. e.g. YYYY-MM-DD.

‍

Dashboard tasks that are grouped don't show the correct count of open tasks - CUR-1812

The Dashboard task widget provides the option to group the open tasks for instance at study level. Not in all cases the shown 'open tasks' counter had the correct value. The cause has been found and is fixed, so the calculation and display of the open tasks counter is correct.

‍

Delete year function should work - CUR-1813

As an administrator the option is supported to delete full years (historic versions) from the system. The delete will not be executed directly, but has a 30 day retention period, where the administrator can still recall the delete action. It was noted that a year marked as delete wasn't actually not deleted after 30 days. This was caused by an internal error and has been solved in the delete functionality, so the delete will work again (after 30 days) as it should do.

‍

Planboard is mixing up groups - CUR-1802

In some occasions the planboard mixed up the groups and present incorrect sub groups underneath a group. The cause was found, and was in case multiple groups in the structure had no code. Since the planboard used the code in structuring the multiple groups with no code were considered the same and where chosen arbitrary. This has been fixed so in case no code is provided one of the other identifying fields will be used to enable uniquely defining the relation.

‍

DateTime fields should respect the required setting - CUR-1745

Custom-fields can be marked required, to force the user to enter the field before saving and leaving the page. It was noted that fields configured as DateTime and set to required didn't respect the required setting and the user could save and proceed without entering a value. This has been fixed, so DateTime fields marked required will require the user to enter data.

‍

Objectives should support assignment of a level - CUR-890

The option to assign a level to an objective has been added with the following configuration / restraint:

1. Adding level to objective is supported by setting page config ‘Select all subject’ is set to true on Objective page.
2. Adding a level is only supporting the levels assigned to the subjects (and its category) defined at module level.

‍

Study admin page should show ignore / terminated - CUR-1814

The information on ignore or terminated at study level was not shown and saved properly based on the configuration settings. This has been fixed, so the standard configuration of the custom-field setting the visible can be used to enable display of these two fields. The save has also been fixed, so a value set will also be saved.

‍

Fields (codes) defined as unique are not always unique - CUR-1799

It was noted that fields marked as unique were not always unique in the system. It was quite a puzzle to figure out what caused this, but luckily it has been identified. The unique key was generated in the UI, but could be 'overtaken' by another create action executed more or less at the same time.

The generation of the unique code is now moved from the UI to the back-end to be 100% sure all values are included in the generation of the unique code.

A new behaviour has been added to the unique value configuration, that will now support the following options:

• Always: will regenerate the code in the UI each time the object is saved, so might not be unique system wide
• On empty: will regenerate the code in the UI, so might not be unique system wide
• On save: will  regenerate the code each time the object is saved in the backend, guaranteeing a unique code
• On save empty: will only generate the unique code once (when the object is created new) in the backend, guaranteeing a unique code
• On create: will only generate the unique code once (when the object is created new)

Configuration:

Based on the exact requirement on guaranteed uniqueness, it is advised to alter the current settings 'always' and 'on empty' to the 'on save' and 'on save empty' behaviour.

‍

The change overview of a specification should also show changes in the underlying objects - CUR-1622

The change overview for specification has been extended to also show the changes made in the underlying objects, e.g. Study, Qualification.

‍

Conditional field on activity-serie not shown - CUR-1844

Conditional fields on activity-series were not correctly shown when creating a new activity-serie. This has been fixed, so the conditions will be respected both on create and edit.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Enable using CSV import to upload multiple offerings per period - CUR-1809

The CSV import to upload module offering has been changed to support uploading multiple offerings for the same period. The 'period' column that was required was always used, preventing creation of mulitple offerings. This field has been made optional and either the 'period' or the 'offering' will be used to define a single period (period column) or a multiple offering in a period (offering column).

‍

Extend the API references endpoint with retrieval of calendar periods - CUR-1818

The API endpoint to retrieve references is extended with support to retrieve the calendar periods.

When executing the api/import/v2/reference?type=calendar-period endpoint the calendar periods of the active marked calendar are retrieved.

In addition to improved loading times and behavior when working with Allocation proposals, this release also includes the possibility to enable auto allocate for test environments

Improvements

• It is now possible to activate Auto allocate for test environments. Talk to your Application consultant if you want it to be activated.
• Loading time when expanding the table with Allocation proposals is improved, and a spinner has been added to indicate that data is loading.
• Allocate proposal view improvements:
  • Loading and pagination of Proposal result table has been improved.
  • Allocation selection information was missing in Allocation proposal view, the information is now displayed again.
  • When expanding the Allocation result table, a large amount of allocation issues could cause the web browser to crash, this is now solved.
  • The CSV download button no longer shows a loading state when the proposal table is not expanded.

This release gathers a package of long asked for improvements as an early summer gift

Improvements

• When configuring Edit possibilities for users, Change fields on reservations has been added to enable users to edit fields such as a comment on a reservation, without allowing them to change anything else on the reservation. Modify fields, time and cancel reservations is still available for those who has this option configured.

• When configuring content on viewer pages it is now possible to select reference fields (a field that is configured to be a combination of other fields), which would previously not have been displayed.
• Column widths are automatically based on content and header width and to account for custom headers. This avoids awkward hyphenation of headers
• Viewer now suports contact email. This means that if a user has an contact email configured, this will be used as the senders email. Useful example is if you want to send from an email that is not your sign-in email, such as a functional email you share with your colleagues
• Language selector has been added to the entrance view

‍

‍

HTML ordered list is different visualised in history, edit and preview mode- CUR-1667

The ordered list in the HTML preview was not showing equal to the edit mode. This has been fixed, to get a similar experience in the edit and preview mode.

‍

Extended option for workload management calculation rules - CUR-1682

The workload management calculation rules is extended with a new standard field :activity_amount that can be used in the calculations.

This field is providing the number of activities defined, to allow calculations based on the number, e.g. to get the nett hours and 1.5 hour preparation time for each activity -> :activity_hours + (1.5 * :activity_ amount)

‍

Tasks should not be available for persons having an inactive relation with an educational object - CUR-1674

When and if tasks on the Dashboard are displayed to the assigned user was not always consistent or clear. Tasks could be displayed to related stakeholders that had no active relation with the object any more. This has been altered to provide a clear and standard visualisation where tasks and their workflow are only displayed and accessible if the user has an active relation.

‍

As an admin I want to go crazy on conditions - CUR-1731

Conditions can be used to steer the behaviour in Curriculum based on fields, rights and other information, e.g. only show a field or page if another field is set to a specific value.
The condition was maximised at a length of 512 characters. This seems to not enough, so the limit is extended to 1024 characters.

‍

Usability improvement using self-configured reports including filtering - CUR-1705

The functionality to create your own report templates supports selecting any defined custom-field to be shown, but also to be used as a filter. From a technical perspective not all added custom-fields are indexed (optimised for filtering). This allows definition of reports for thousands of modules with a filter on a non-optimised field.

Nothing has been changed to the above option, and thus still allowing the user to define any report and filter on any of the fields. Using non-optimised fields for filtering can lead to longer loading times showing the filtered report. An information message is shown to the user when saving or executing a report with a filter on a non-optimised field. This so the user knows retrieving this report will take longer.

As a best practice it is advised to have your default report (with the lowest sequence number) without filtering options. This will direct show the data, and only navigate to the 'non-optimised filtered report' once needed.

‍

The dashboard loading time should be improved (having > 1000 tasks on my Dashboard) - CUR-1775

The dashboard was designed to provide an overview of the outstanding tasks of the user. It was not really anticipated having over a 1000 tasks would happen.

A slight change has been made retrieving the tasks:

• Only 50 tasks are retrieved when building up the dashboard
• In case there are more than 50 tasks, a 'show more' button is shown to allow the user to retrieve all

Simultaneously a performance change is made retrieving huge number of tasks from the general page by adding more strict filtering reducing the sample with > 1000 task from 20 seconds to 50 milliseconds.

‍

Improve the visualisation of the read-only form pages - CUR-1791

Form pages used as 'read-only' in workflows or in reports were just made read-only while still showing the 'select / input' type, e.g., a Boolean value showed the slider Yes|No or a toggle.

This has been cleaned-up where all 'make-up' of the the input information shown has been removed and the input information is showing just the selected value as plain text. So the Boolean is showing either the text Yes or No and no longer the 'read-only slider'.

The information if a value is considered required and in-line tooltips are still shown to still offer the background information when using the information online.

While configuring I want to see where a custom-field is used - CUR-31

The visualisation of the custom-field definition has been enriched showing the pages a custom-field is used. This to support the admin configuring the system to validate if a field is shown to users and on what pages.

The pages shown are 'clickable' and will open the actual page configuration of that page.

‍

Extend support for activity-series using custom pages and workflows - CUR-1768

The so-called root objects (Module, Method, Assessment, Study, ...) support usage of custom pages and workflow to create or edit the information shown. This was not yet supported for activity-series, since it's a child of the Method or Assessment root type. Support to use the same functionality has been added to the activity-serie object type.

‍

Usability improvement 'shown full name' for tasks on the dashboard - CUR-1774

The tasks shown in the dashboard were truncated in case they exceeded the maximum 'visualisation' space available. In case codes and the start of object naming are more or less similar, all tasks look the same. A option is added using mouse-over to visualise the full name of the object.

‍

A date field shown in the curriculum tree should be shown as date - CUR-1758

The curriculum tree provides support for adding additional columns to be shown. In case a custom-field of type Date is added, this is displayed as a timestamp (YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS.mmm).
This has been fixed so a date field is properly shown adhering to the configured visualisation format. e.g. YYYY-MM-DD.

This release includes an update to scheduling activities from Activity Manager, as well as bug fixes

General improvements

When scheduling from Activity Manager there is now a "ghost" reservation shown in the calendar, that visualises the reservation you are about to make. Placing the "ghost" reservation will create a reservation at that time and duration, similar to the copy/paste functionality.
If you desire a different duration than the one prescribed on the activity, simply press Esc, to remove the "ghost" reservation and click to drag as usual.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes not possible to copy reservations to Drafts, if they where connected to an Activity
• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes possible to update an object through the API even if the user lacked permissions to do so.

It is now possible to export the Recipient List in preferences as a CSV file to get a current status report of all submissions, including Status, Owner, Collaborators, Last Edited and more. Simply click the "Batch operations" dropdown and select "Export all recipients status"

This release includes improvements to the Free Object selection in Core

General improvements

Hide Free Objects based on memberships

When changing reservations, and trying to select a Room (or another object) you can select the Free option to show only objects that are free at that time.
The Free option will now also hide objects that have members that are occupied at that time. This would would be especially helpful if a Room has partitions as members and one of those partitions are already booked; the full Room will now not be considered free.

‍

As well as memberships being taken into consideration, the Free option will also look for availability. It will only consider Availability for objects that is set up to be Occupied by default.

The Free option will currently not consider Dynamic Availability or Padding.

‍

This release contains a number of improvements in the general workflow, most notably the possibility to set dedication rules to groups in bulk

Improvements

• When setting the same dedication rules to more than one group, it is now possible to select the groups and use the Edit button to change dedication for all the groups at once

• It is now faster to start the generation of an allocation proposal, as the step to collect and structure data is moved into the actual generation of the proposal
• Registration interface now supports reference fields, useful for displaying teacher names that combine first and last name fields.

Bug

• When managing a student, sometimes recent allocation data was not updated, this has now been solved.

‍

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Study guide and AI

As part of defining a long term strategy and getting more acquainted with providing AI in the TimeEdit product suite a choice has been made to start with implementing a first iteration of the TimeEdit AI coach in the Study Guide. The reason behind this is that this is considered a relative low impact solution that uses public available data as its source. The further vision is to incorporate more user/student centric support using the personal context of the student. E.g., using the study planner that can provide the study context of a student as additional input to the AI. This is further down the road, since the security and privacy requirements are higher and will gradually be added.

This first implementation offers the option to add the AI study coach tab to the study guide, available for students and employees. It allows using the AI question and response mechanisme a different way to search for information.

‍

The screenshot below is an example of the AI coach running at a customer that was so kind to 'provide their data' to support development and test the results based on real data, instead of our test set with dummy texts.

For more information, contact your sales representative or CS.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Videos defined in descriptions are not shown - SG-425

The videos defined in the descriptions in Curriculum were not show in Study Guide. The cause has been found, fixed and now the define videos are visible and can be played again.

‍

Header shown above the structure in the structure page should be language specific - SG-424

The structure configured with the structure widget and shown on a structure page (study, module group) has an introduction header. This header was always shown in English, and not using the translated label value. This has been fixed, so the header will respect and show the selected language.

‍

As an admin it should be configurable to hide the print button - SG-410

The print button is default shown on each page in the study guide. An option is added to disable the Print button on all pages using a global configuration parameter.

Configuration:

• Navigate to the Parameter menu under Administration
• Set the print.visible parameter to false (hide) or true (show, the default value)

‍

As an admin I want to configure the filter 'name' for products - SG-418

Filters and its values defined in the Study Guide can be styled to show the code, name or a combination. This works for all filters, except the so-called product filters. A product filter is a filter on a curriculum standard object, such as faculty or study. In study guide this could be used to define a filter on faculty to only show programs for that faculty.

The product filter only showed the code and could not be styled. This has been changed, so the product filters can be style in the same way as other filters using the {code} and {name} setting. E.g.,

• {code} to only show the code
• {name} to only show the name
• {name} ({code}) to show the name and the code between brackets

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Preview button lecturer questions should work - EV-327

The preview button for the lecturer related questions gave the message 'This is the end of this questionnaire! Clicking the submit button to submit your feedback' for each of the lecturers. This has been fixed, so now the correct lecturer question detail page is shown again.

‍

Extend the member report export to Excel with 'raw answers'- EV-329

The member report provides 'combined / calculated' average, median and deviant results for the question responses. A new option is added to the report to export the 'raw answers' that without any calculation. This has been added as a separate button, so the export supports both the calculated results and the export with the raw results.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.
Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Year roll-over should copy all specification attributes - CUR-1738

The year roll-over function didn't copy all additional values defined on a specification. This has been fixed, so in the next year roll-over all Specification configured attribute values will be copied to the newly created year.

‍

HTML text shown as read-only should only be shown once (and not twice) - CUR-1686

HTML texts shown on a read-only page showed the defined HTML text twice. This has been fixed, so the text will only be shown once.

‍

The study report should support selecting and showing the offering period - CUR-1663

The study report supported selecting the offering period, only it was defined twice instead of once with the correct relation to the value to be shown. This has been fixed, so there is only on option to select the offering period that will show the defined periods in the report.

‍

Enhance robustness in error handling - CUR-1746, CUR-1747, CUR-1748

As part of our regular scanning of frequent happening errors in the log files we identified a few that 'crashed' opening a page ending with a server error, instead of showing a proper warning or ignore the faulty situation.

In this case all of them ware caused by loading data using CSV, that can bypass setting 'required' values. The UI will force this to be set and will for specific data types automatic create the appropriate data typing. The validation when showing a page 'assumed' the data was correct. This has been made more robust, especially in handling NULL values that will not crash the page with a server error, but will just show the page with no value for these specific fields of a not found when searching.

Some nice changes for the users, but also in reducing the errors in our log files.

‍

Extend hook behaviour on module with support for underlying objects - CUR-1726

It was possible to define a hook on a module to set a specific field, e.g. to set the value of a field with a calculation to be sure it was set based on the latest information. This hook could only be set to change fields on the module itself. This has been extended to also support setting a value on methods / assessments defined in the context of the module.

‍

Assigning a new teacher to an activity should support setting the assignment - CUR-1750

When adding a teacher to an activity it was not possible to define the assignment in case the teacher has multiple assignments. Nor was a default assignment set in case there was only one assignment.

A change has been made to allow selecting the appropriate assignment when adding a teacher. If a teacher has only one assignment, this is automatically set.

‍

Calculation doesn't seem to respect percentages with decimals - CUR-1759

When defining a division percentage on the teachers assigned, the calculation didn't seem to use the decimals. The actual calculation was correct, but depending on the number of teachers and (lack of difference) between the percentages the outcome was not as expected. For a mathematician it is good to understand that the formula transformed the percentage to a factor that was 'stripped down' to 2 decimals, since the outcome is 2 decimals. This has been modified to keep the decimals and only round and strip to 2 decimals after the calculation.

‍

Strange behaviour of the HTML editor using spaces - CUR-1727

In order to put a space between words using the HTML editor was by typing the space twice. That has been fixed, so now it behaves at it should be and a space is just added as a space without having to type it twice.

‍

Module subject selection should offer all subjects of underlying specifications - CUR-1772

When adding a subject to a module, the default filtering of selectable subject categories was set to only show the 'owner study' subjects. A change has been made to not only show the 'owner study' subject categories, but the subject categories of all related (underlying) specifications the module is used in.

A small usability improvement has been added to no longer show a 'undefined' in case no code has been defined for the subject category.

‍

The qualification report should support select and display of the abbreviation - CUR-1704

The qualification report is extended with support for a number of attributes that were not offered as selectable (and thus reportable) fields:

• Abbreviation
• UUID
• Start date
• End date
• Publication date
• Ignore
• Terminated

‍

Calculation of workload should ignore deleted offering periods - CUR-1753

The workload calculation and report showed some calculations of workload twice, giving the perception the calculation were duplicated. After further investigation it was caused by the fact that workload was also calculated for deleted offering periods and its activities. This has been fixed, so the workload will only be calculated for the active offering periods and their activities.

‍

Extend the teacher-assign page to support filtering on assigned person- CUR-1742

To better support managing the assigned teachers to the different activities the teacher-assign page has been extended with filter support to quickly select all activities the teacher is assigned to. This will enable quick replacement of the teacher on the assigned activities.

A filter is added:

• as search on top of the column of assigned teachers
• as direct search by clicking a teacher at the list of assigned teachers and their hours

‍

The visualisation should support teachers assigned to an activity above 10 - CUR-1751

In case more than 10 teachers are assigned to an individual activity, the list shown to define the assignment percentages didn't show all. This has been fixed, so all assigned teachers will be shown and the assignment percentage can be set.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Uploading the full curriculum using the API should not fail with  - CUR-1741 (Hotfix)

The full upload of curriculum from a SRS using the API, for some customers run as a nightly job to sync SRS changes to Curriculum, did fail without any meaningful message. This seems to be related to a change made in the previous sprint and has been solved and hotfixed.

‍

Extend the module API with abbreviation information of the used teaching method - CUR-1762

The module API is extended to not only provide the type of a teaching method / assessment, but also the used abbreviation for the type.

The method details will now have the attributes:

"type": "LEC"
"typeAbbreviation": "L"

‍

Assignment percentage uploaded via CSV for activities should be processed correctly - CUR-1761

When using the CSV upload with a huge number of persons with individual assignment percentages, the percentages were not correctly assigned to the different persons. This has been fixed, so new uploads with assignment percentages for the different persons will be processed correctly.

‍

Security

This release provides som updates to the Study Combination workflows

General improvements

When generating Student Sets, Activity data is no longer read from Preferences Forms, but from the actual generated Activities (either in AM or DM). This means that preferences forms are no longer needed for activity data if you only do activity imports.
It also means that the Study Combination Period (defined in the Study Combination form) will be used for selecting the relevant activities.

A new mapping for enabling Student Set Generation has been added to the Admin pages and needs to be completed for each Study Combination Period

‍

In this release we introduce the possibility to show members of an object on a reservation, directly on the reservation

Improvements

Viewer can now show members directly on a reservation in Viewer. The most common use-case is to show students that are joining a reservation. Where those students are added to the reservation as members to a student group object.

This release improves the user experience when analysing results in Allocation proposal view

Improvements

Improvements in Detailed proposal view

• Improved styling of Proposal issue table
• Manage student links opens in new tab to ease cross referencing with information in the Allocation proposal view

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

As an administrator I want to configure the behaviour of 'show more ...' for descriptive texts - SG-415

The default behaviour for the study guide is to 'truncate' the shown descriptive texts after a certain length and show a 'Show more' button. This will keep the overview showing all descriptive subject headers with part of the text, allowing the user to expand to see the full text.

In order to also allow a fully expanded descriptive text page, a configuration option is added to not show the 'Show more' button, but completely show the texts.

Configuration:

Set the checkbox 'Hide show more' for the relevant container (content) widgets.

‍

As a user I want to understand the usage of the different expand options in the structure - SG-417

The structure tree provides different ways of expand the data. There is the generic 'show all', but also the icon-buttons that will expand only one level of the selected module group or fully expand the selected module group. To better assist the user in understanding the different options and usage of the button-icons a tooltip is added to the different expand options.

‍

As a user I want to see yes/no instead of true/false for boolean values - SG-419

In case boolean values are used in Curriculum they are shown as empty, true or false to the users. For users that may raise questions, since they are rather technical terms. A change has been made to use the language relevant translation of true / false as defined in Curriculum. The users will now see yes in case a value in Curriculum is set to true and no in other cases.

‍

Extend CSV member upload to support upload of unknown persons - EV-324

On an evaluation, you can add members using the participant tab. These members can be persons no known in the system, e.g. foreign students without an institution account/login.

The option of adding those student manually works fine, but in some cases it would be handier to be able to upload the 'non-existing' persons via the Member csv.

The existing Member csv upload is extended to support the upload of 'non-existing' persons by adding the columns email and full_name.

‍

The new CSV structure will be shown on the on page documentation when using the CSV upload function, and is also shown below:

year, period, evaluation_code, code, evaluation_type, person, email, full_name, role

2023, P1, T001,, Periodic,, student@timeedit.com, Guest student, Student

Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

As an administrator I want to configure additional columns in the qualifications-award template - CUR-1439

The qualifications-award template provides the option to specify different qualification awards within a program. The information shown was considered limited and was not extensible.

A configuration option is added to the qualification-award template to enable configuring additional columns to be shown next to the module-group / module name. In total 4 additional columns can be added both for module-groups and modules

Person name should be shown - CUR-1701 (Hotfix)

In various reports showing user information the name of the person was not properly displayed. This has been fixed, so the name is again shown correctly.

‍

In case multiple teachers are assigned they should be shown in the teacher template - CUR-1670 (Hotfix)

The templates teacher and teacher-assign provide insight in the assigned persons to teaching and exam activities. The teacher template only showed one teacher even in case multiple were assigned. The teacher-assign showed correctly all assigned persons. The teacher template is corrected and will now also show all assigned persons.

‍

Workload calculation on activities that are 0 should not use a fallback to activity hours - CUR-1651 (Hotfix)

In case a workload calculation configured at teaching methods ended with a 0 (zero) value, the value was substituted with the activity hours. For example the case if a method calculation was based on expectedStudents and duration where the students were not filled, the calculated value is 0 (empty). This was then replaced by the activity hours.
This has been fixed, so in case a calculation is 0, this value is used as the calculated value.

‍

Workload calculation should respect the configured category- CUR-1710, CUR-1711, CUR-1717 (Hotfix)

In case a workload calculation configured to be based on activity-series and method type with a specific method category, the calculation didn't respect the category. This has been fixed, so the calculated hours will only be based on the configured category.
Furthermore, in case no category is defined, the calculation will use the calculated hours for all methods to define the total of the calculated hours.

‍

The order of subjects should be configurable - CUR-1661

The various pages to define / report subjects showed the subjects based on creation date. A new option is added to define a sequence on subjects that will enable steering the order the subjects are shown.

‍

When a module is terminated, I would like to provide a comment - CUR-810

When a module is terminated, the option is shown to select the termination model (only offering, only in program, fully), but there was no option to provide a comment to provide background on the termination. A change has been applied that will automatically show the comment prompt if a module is terminated, to allow the user to define background information.

‍

Relations with a condition on faculty should be selectable in reports - CUR-1627

In case a relation that would restrict the usage of the relation with a condition on faculty, e.g. :facultyId in ('ABC'), the relation was not selectable in reports. This has been solved, so relations with a condition will be selectable in reports.

‍

Adding subjects using Bulk Edit should respect the default level - CUR-1712

In case a subject is added to a study, the configured default level is automatically set. In case the subject would be added using the bulk select option to multiple studies, the configured default level was not set. This has been fixed, so the configured default level will be set both using individual updates and bulk edit.

‍

The subjects overview should allow to display the assigned level - CUR-1675

The subjects template extended to support display of the assigned subject level.

‍

The changes made to Faculty should be visible in the change history - CUR-1696

Not all changes made to a Faculty were added to the change history. This has been fixed, so all changes at Faculty level will be added to the change history.

‍

Workload calculation on activities bound to method/assessment not assigned to module - CUR-1718

In case activities are not defined as a relation to a module, but only have a relation to a method or assessment, the calculated hours were not added up to the module level. This has been fixed, so both activities directly attached to the module and attached to the method or assessment will be correctly added up and assigned to the module hours.

‍

Read-only reports should show no checkboxes - CUR-1662

Pages configured as read-only showed the different 'selectable functions' (button, dropdown) as a read-only form in the report. A change is made to show the actual defined value in plain text instead of the read-only visual representation. This will improve the readability of the reports.

‍

Activity-serie details not opened from search or reports - CUR-1655

When performing a search for activity-series and select the found one, or click in a report on a activity-serie the selected activity-serie was not opened. This has been fixed, so after search or select from reports the activity-serie details are opened again.

‍

Dashboard active role should always be shown - CUR-1673

In the situation where a user has two roles on an educational object (e.g. module), and one of these roles was deleted or ended, both roles were no longer shown on the dashboard. This has been fixed, so in the sketched situation the role still active will be shown on the dashboard.

‍

HTML editor should show ordered list similar in edit and preview mode - CUR-1667

The HTML editor didn't show the numeric values of an ordered list similar in the edit and preview mode. This has been fixed, so both view will show the ordered list properly and similar.

‍

In case the workload changes, the new remaining hours should be calculated and shown - CUR-1652

In case a change is made to a persons assignments or tasks, the new total is calculated. An addition is made to this functionality, where the total remaining hours base will be calculated and both the newly calculated and remaining hours values will be shown directly on screen.

‍‍

A label should support the usage of a . (period) - CUR-1639

If a label was defined with a . (period) in it, the label was not shown. This has been fixed, so labels with a . will be shown properly.

‍

Improve the loading of the activity report- CUR-1669

The activity-series-report didn't respond as expected with lots of data. The retrieval of the report is changed to support paginated data retrieval and the underlying data retrieval and filtering mechanism is changed.

‍

As an admin I want to search in the relation/role management page - CUR-49

The relation/role administration page provided a list with limited filtering. This has been extended with a search option to quickly find and select the relation to be managed.

‍

The method category should be respected when editing an activity - CUR-1699

In case a method is added, the method category is selected and the user is offered the option to select from the defined method types in this category. In case the method is edited, the restriction on the selected category is not followed, allowing the user to select any of the system defined method types. This has been fixed, so both on create and edit the method category is respected when showing the selectable method types.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

CSV uploads fail with a technical error - CUR-1708 (Hotfix)

In case (larger) CSV files were uploaded the import failed with an error. Any consecutive upload attempts would then also fail with a technical error. The cause of the error is identified and has been fixed.

‍

Extend the activity CSV with the assignment percentage - CUR-1681

In the previous sprint the option has been added to define an assignment division (percentage) for persons delivering one activity. In this sprint the activity CSV is extended with support for the definition of this assignment percentage.

The CSV information is provided in the CSV upload function, but the columns relevant for this change are:

• persons: John; Maria
• persons-percentage: 30;70

Both persons and persons-percentage support configuring multiple persons/percentages.

The similar option is added to support vacancies, using the columns vacancies and vacancies-percentage.

‍

Extend a manually executed hook on an object with result information - CUR-1713

A hook executed from an education object admin page only showed a success or failure message with no further information. The returned information is extended with the result message to get direct feedback on a possible cause.

For detailed logging on messages exchanged the Request log can be used.

‍

Enable relations in Core using year information - CUR-1689

In scheduling it might be required to keep students starting on a different moment (e.g. January or April start instead of September start) together when scheduling. To support this in Core relations are used.

For this specific situation an option is added to the Core mapping to support definition of these relations that can use year (cohort) information. E.g. a student starting in september will do the modules from the first period (September till January) in this period, where a student starting in January will do these modules as the third period from start and thus in the next academic year.

This release focuses on execution time improvements of Allocate workflow

Improvements

• Execution time improvements when allocating and de-allocating large groups of students
• Button menu options, at bottom of Allocate Overview table, has changed to behave as a button, previously users needed to click directly on the text.

This release contains bug fixes

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where the Yellow warning banner would get stuck and was not possible to close
• Resolved an issue where the date-selector-calendar (bottom right corner) would not respect the Weekday setting of the calendar (i.e. showing Saturdays even if Saturdays was turned off etc.)
• Resolved an issue where there was no warning when moving partial Reservation Groups, if the reservations where "incomplete". Warning messages are now always shown if a partial Reservation Groups is moved (it becomes partial when some of the included reservations are not displayed in the calendar)

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

As a user I want a quick access from the search result to the details - SG-340

The search result list shows the studies / modules found, providing a V-button to unfold the first details of the study / module and a button to navigate to the detailed information.

A usability improvement has been made that allows desktop users to directly navigate to the details instead of first opening the first details and then navigate to the details. Both options 'quick view' and 'navigate to details' are still available, providing the user the option to use the direct navigation and the unfold and navigation. Where the direct navigation will reduce a click for the users that now they want to jump to the details right-away.

Furthermore the navigation in the unfold section has been made more visible by using a button. The label (text) shown on the button can be modified by the Administrator like any other label using the Labels menu option.

Improved synchronisation handling for excluded modules - SG-411

The handling of excluded modules during the sync could lead to an error if the module was reference from a study. The module could not be found during processing the study structure, which should not be considered an error, since the module should not be exchanged. This has been fixed, so the processing will continue even when a module is not found (e.g. excluded).

‍

A descriptive text defined as bullet list was not shown correctly - SG-411 (hotfix)

In case text has been defined that contains a bullet list, the bullets were not shown, the different list items were just shown on separate lines. This has been fixed, so the bullet list is shown again the way it should be.

Question filter on tags should work in preview mode - EV-321

In case in an evaluation a tag was used as a conditional filter to show a specific question / question block the filter was not correctly applied in the preview mode. The actual executed evaluation did respect the defined filter(s).

A fix is applied so the filter will both work in the preview mode to allow proper testing of the evaluation setup and the actual executed evaluations.

‍

Add 'usage' information to the scheduled workflows management - EV-281

The schedule workflows management screen has been enriched with mouse-over information to explain the exact usage of the buttons shown.

Usability improvement showing vacancy information - CUR-1602

When searching for and displaying vacancies only the name was shown or used in search. By setting the option 'show code and name' in the custom-type definition the search and display are extended to use and display both the used code and name of a vacancy. Allowing to use a naming convention, e.g. prefix the code with the organisation code and quickly search for and filter on vacancies for a specific organisation,

Enable grouping on organisation level hierarchy in cost/resource division reports - CUR-1597

When using workload management the hours are calculated against a persons contract. The contract is assigned to a 'organisation' (e.g. department) in the organisational tree structure. The workload division report offers the functionality to report on the workload division of a faculty, study or module over the different contractually assigned organisations. In case the organisation structure is very detailed and the persons' assignment is against the lowest leafs the report will be very detailed. A function is added to group the organisations defined at the lowest level to a level above. This option can be used if contracts are defined a very granular level, but reporting is required at a hierarchigal higher level.

Configuration:

The workload-study-report template is extended with a configuration option 'organisation type'. By defining the type, the report will group the information of all underlying organisation parts to the defined type.

‍

Date field cannot be cleared when using the date picker - CUR-1636 (Hotfix)

When using the date picker, the date field could not be cleared (emptied). This has been fixed, so dates can be cleared when using the date picker.

‍

Placeholder {language} in label message didn't show the language value - CUR-1648 (Hotfixed)

The {{languages}} placeholder didn't show the available languages anymore, but only the teaching language. A fix is applied to enable the distinction between the use of {{languages}} and {{teachingLanguage}} in labels.

‍

Page template teacher shows the incorrect week range - CUR-1634 (Hotfix)

The custom page template 'teacher' didn't show the week range of an individual activity series in the correct format that is used in all other visualisations and reports showing the week range. This has been fixed, so a week range of 1+3+4 is now displayed as 1, 3-4 on all places and not as 1 till 4.

‍

Default configured subject level should be respected - CUR-1676 (Hotfix)

The administrator can configure a default level to be used when assigning a subject (leaning outcome) to for  instance a module. The configured default was not respected, causing the user to always manually select a value instead of having a prefilled default. This has been solved, so the users only need to select a different value if the default is not the desired value.

‍

Unexpected message 'missing parameter sourceType' - CUR-1656

It was noted when opening the message details in the request log an error 'missing required parameter sourceType' was shown. The requested message details was shown properly and all actions could be performed. This mostly annoying error message has been solved, and will not be shown anymore.

‍

Extend availability gathering with 'incidental non-availabilities' - CUR-1610

The availability functionality provides users the option to define their weekly availability pattern. An addition has been made to enable users to define 'exceptions' to the pattern and define actual calendar based days of availability or unavailability. For example attending a conference on May 10 and 11.

The user can select a single date or a date-range and define if this should be considered as available or unavailable time.

‍

Curriculum mapping extended with support for distinct contribution of modules to studies - CUR-1550

The curriculum mapping is extended with support to distinct subjects (leaning outcomes) contribution of a module to programs in case module is used in different programs. This will allow to set if a specific learning outcome (subject) is of value for a specific program or not (no relation), or if a specific learning outcome (subject) is contributing with a different 'level' to programs.
E.g. the learning outcome 'the student can present to a large audience' may contribute with 'level' communication and presentation to program A and only contribute with communication to program B.

The related curriculum matrix reporting is changed to only show the subjects actually assigned to the selected program.

This option is an addition to the standard functionality where no relations are defined and the subject and its level is standard assigned as contribution to all of the programs that use the module.

‍

Usability improvement retrieving person related reports - CUR-1601

In the paginated Person Report, all data is retrieved when pressing Search, which can take several seconds, especially with large datasets (e.g., 8,000 persons). This is expected behaviour and not an issue. However, when clicking on a row, a popup appears. After closing the popup, the previously retrieved data seems to be lost, requiring another full search, which again takes several seconds.

This behaviour has been fixed. When a person is selected and a change is made to that person in the pop-up, only that person is refreshed instead of the whole list of persons.

‍

Attributes with value '0' should not be shown as empty in reports - CUR-1608

Reports containing numeric attributes showed attributes with no value and attributes with a value of 0 both as empty. This has been fixed to clearly report and enable filtering on numeric values that are empty (not defined) and are set to 0 (zero).

‍

Year roll-over functionallity extended- CUR-1614

It was noticed that the predefinedFacilities standard available at the activity level was not copied in the roll-over functionality. This has been fixed and the following fieldsare added to the roll-over copy:

• Sequence
• Predefined facilities
• Suggested day
• Suggested time

‍

Extend the offering-report template with the used code - CUR-1605

The offering report page template didn't show the offering code, which has now been added so both code and name are shown in this report.

‍

Enable use of all 'generic' defined calculation attributes in workload management functions - CUR-1665 (Hotfix)

We noticed that not all 'generic' defined calculation attributes were properly used in the workload management functions. This has been fixed, so the following set of 'generic' calculation attributes will be used correctly in all formulas and filters (e.g. generic education tasks, method related calculations)

• organisation - used to filter on organisation, e.g. only apply a formula for specific organisation(s)
• organisationId - synonym of the organisation
• facultyId - used to filter on faculty, e.g. only apply a formula for specific faculties
• annualHours - the system configured annual working hours
• fteHours - the persons assignment contracted hours

‍

Improved Visualisation of Job Messages and Person Label/Popover in Request Log, fixing Person Label - CUR-1605 (Hotifx)

Resolved a frontend issue introduced in the 11.11.0 release that caused the person label to fail in multiple areas. We have rebuilt the person label, person popover, and job messages list in React to fix this issue and improve the appearance in the process.

While the features should stay the same, there are some minor functional changes:

• Empty severity categories are no longer displayed.
• A “no results” message appears when there are no messages.
• The highest non-empty severity is selected by default.

The updated components feature an improved design for better usability and will be rolled out to additional areas in future releases.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extend availability/unavailability information exchange to Core - CUR-1610

The integration with Core has been extended with support for the newly added option to define calendar based availability/unavailability next to the already supported week pattern based information.

An evaluation page (block) with only informative information is skipped - EV-315

In case an evaluation is build up of different pages with informative pages (with only informative questions) in between the returning respondent might skip the informative page. This was the situation in case the respondent save the answers on the page preceding the informative page and quit the evaluation. When the respondent then returns the informative page is skipped, since the standard behaviour of an informative page is that it is successfully answered. This means that the first page with outstanding questions after the informative page was shown and thus skipping the informative page.

The behaviour as released last sprint was not in all cases 100% perfect, this has been fixed in this release and the information page will be shown in case it precedes the page with the outstanding questions.

‍

Import failed due to incorrect handling of date formats - EV-320

The import of evaluation information from an external source could fail due to an unexpected date format or date format handling. The date handling has been altered and made more robust.

‍

Added retry button to resend failed email notifications - EV-322

The notification mailer function has numerous configuration options, especially to handle the limits opposed by the Cloud based (microsoft) mail functionality. Incidentally it is noticed that a notification may not be sent due just hitting the boundary. When noticed, the configuration will be adjusted to slightly decrease the throughput and prevent notifications not being sent.

A function (button) is added that in cases the boundary is hit and incidental mails are marked as 'not sent', they can be resend.

This release comes with further improvements of the allocation workflow

Improvement

• The number of students with incomplete allocations is now always visible in the allocate overview table for applicable modules
• New batch allocation feature: Users can now allocate students to all modules displayed in the table based on current filter settings

• Filter option renamed from "Incomplete students" to "Incomplete"
• When generating a proposal, the system now displays the number of students with incomplete allocations

Bugfix

• Fixed a calendar view display issue in Registration and Manage Student where bookings starting past the hour were incorrectly shown as starting the following hour⁠⁠​

Note: We will be performing a one-time cleanup of the historical proposals database.

This release contains an API fix and some smaller bug fixes

Changes

• When sending in values in the API for integer sum-fields on objects, for instance fields that count the number of members, this value will now be ignored. The value will be recalculated when the members change, but it is not possible to set it to something else.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes not possible to copy objects if the user did not have permission to  some non-editable fields
• Resolved an issue where it was possible to circumvent mandatory fields in Reserve, by submitting emojis only in that field. It will now interpret this as no value and not submit a change.

‍

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

New feature: automated translation to other language(s) - CUR-1569

An option is added to support automated translation of descriptive texts. The translation service is using AI-translation in the background to translate the texts from one language to another.

In case the 'translate option' is activated, a Translate button will appear in the description pages. When clicking the button a popup appears that will allow the user to select the source and destination language and select the text boxes to be translated. By default all empty text boxes from the destination language are selected, to prevent from accidentally overwriting already available texts. The user can select and/or deselect to specify the text boxes to be translated.

The AI translation service will perform the translation and write the results to the different selected text boxes. The user can now validate, adjust and/or save the translated information.

This is for Curriculum the first functionality defined as a feature flag option. This means that by default this functionality is not available and a request should be made to the service desk or the account representative to enable this function.

‍

Pages in workflow having a date field doesn't show the date picker - CUR-1633

When using a page template with a date field in a workflow the date picker was not shown correctly. This has been fixed, so the date picker is visible and accessible on pages both in the tabular format and workflows.

‍

New feature: Assigning a level to a subject (learning outcome) should support mulitple values - CUR-1547

An addition has been made to the curriculum mapping to support the definition of multiple levels on a learning outcome. Both the definition and the visualisation has been adapted to support multi-value level definition.

‍Enlarge the feedback information on change text field - CUR-1530

The option to provide feedback when sending a workflow to the next status / stakeholder only supported a single line text. This has been changed to a multi-line textfield to support providing more detail information to the next stakeholder.

‍

HTML text editor should show italic text as italic - CUR-1612

When marking text as italic or a combination of a different style (bold, underline) with italic the text was correctly saved, but not displayed as italic in the editor. This has been solved, so the italic marked texts are both saved and displayed correctly.

‍

As a user I want to perform bulk changes on activities - CUR-1511

The bulk change option has been added to the activity report, providing the same support as the other objects like module and study.

‍

As a user I want to drag an activity to the last position in the activity grid - CUR-1528

The activity grid support moving activities using drag and drop, but dragging an activity after all other activities in a week didn't work. This has been fixed so it is possible to drag and drop an activity to any position in the week.

‍

Support aded for conditions on availability types (Element schedule preferences) - CUR-1625

The availability types (Element schedule preferences) is extend to support conditional lists. This will support definition of availabilities that differ between for instance faculties.

‍

The language chooser should show the options in the appropriate language - CUR-1586

The language selector showed all available languages in the standard character set, using the international technical abbreviation for the language. A change has been made to show the language in the appropriate character set.

‍

Workload management method type related workload should be allocated to correct user - CUR-1595

Depending on the used calculation rule on method level the allocation of the calculated hours was assigned to the allocated user (:activity_hours) or to all users (any other calculation rule). This has been fixed so the allocation will be done to the assigned user only.

Furthermore the sum of all calculated and allocated hours has been revised to properly provide the total actual hours and the total calculated effort hours in the footer.

‍

Workload management should support division of load at activity level - CUR-1596

The workload allocation at relation level supports the division of the calculated hours over the assigned persons to the specific relation. E.g. a division of 30,20,50% over 3 lecturers. In case the workload is calculated based on the assignment of a person to a single activity there was no support to divide the calculated hours in case more persons were allocated. They would all get the calculated hours.

A new functionallity is added to support not only the allocation of multiple persons to the same activity, but also define the load division between them when assigning a person to an activity.

Workload management filtering on educational tasks extended - CUR-1592

The filtering on educational tasks, both at a generic and calculation rule condition level is extended with support for filtering on the facultyId.

At global level filtering is now supported for:

• organisation (will be kept for backward compliance)
• organisationId (to conform to the standard for all conditions)
• facultyId

‍

Workload management division of allocation added to effort-list - CUR-1638

The effort-list page showing all relation related load has been optimised to only show the information for the assigned relations and provide the option to divide the allocation between the assigned persons if more than one person is assigned.

Furthermore, in case no value is provided, the calculation will default to 100%. This to prevent from having to always have to define a value in case only one person is assigned.

‍

Number of groups used for lecturer assignment should be possible at method level - CUR-1578

The number of groups generated on the activity-series lecturer assignment screen are based on the number of groups defined on the activity-serie. This as been extended to also support the usage of number of groups defined at method level.

In case on both levels the number of groups are offered and defined, the value for activity-series will be used.

‍

As a user I want to be informed active that the preview function does save changes - CUR-1571

The preview function offered to 'test drive' a page or workflow allows for selecting an existing object (module, study, ...) from the system. Even though it is marked as preview, any change made to the data will be saved. This to support not only check the visual effect of the definition, but also test the behaviour configuration, e.g. conditions based on specific values.

To actively warn/inform users that changes are saved, a message will be shown.

‍

Required value validation on descriptions should not fail - CUR-1611

The validation if the required descriptive texts are provided failed since the HTML text box was not properly emptied. The validation saw 'data' that for a user was invisible and falsely marked the descriptive text to be available. This has been fixed, so the validation on required available data is executed correctly.

‍

Availability information is shown in the incorrect weekday - CUR-1606

The availability data was not shown on the defined weekday, but was moved two days ahead. So the activity for Monday was shown on Wednesday. This has been hotfixed immediately, so the availability is shown on the correct weekdays again.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Enable embedding of a page in an external system - SG-388

In an earlier release the option has been added to embed the full study guide, including navigation and filters, in another web page using an iFrame.

In case the information to be shown is known it would be helpful to only show the detail page with the relevant information without navigation and filters. This option is added in this release, where a dedicated information page from study guide can be embedded in the desired language.

Configuration of the URL:‍

The URL will follow a standard convention and has four attributes to show the desired tab:

• URL base: https://<your link to the study guide>/
• URL extension:
  • studies/<study_code>
  • modules/<module_code>
• Page to show:
  • tab=<page_name>
• Year to show
  • year=<year>
• Indicator to only show data
  • data_only=true
• Language indicator
  • language=NL
  • language=EN
  • no language specified will show the language switcher in case of a multi-lingual configuration

The full URL could look something like:
https://studyguide.timeedit.dev/studies/ADQS?tab=study-general&year=2023&data-only=true&language=EN
‍

This option is supported for all data pages and widgets, such as the curriculum mapping matrix, module detail page, study structure page.

‍

Extended monitoring of systems implemented - SG-393, SG-396

We revised and extended our health-check services to provide more in-depth information on the availability of the various application parts (services) running. This change allows us to even better monitor the infrastructure and applications than we already did.

Bugfix

• In calendar view in Registration and Manage student interface, timeslots where displayed 30 min off in some timezones. This has been solved.

General improvements

• A close button is added to the reservation tooltip, in case it gets stuck

Bug fixes in AM

• Resolved an issue where some column headers in Activity Manager would show extIds instead of the label
• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to use the Assign feature in the Submissions list in AM on V3
• Resolved an issue where the Import form name would not be shown in the AM header.

Bug fixes in Core

• Resolved an issue where the Related-option was missing from the Replace Object dialog in the Reservation list

‍

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Splitting an activity-serie should not give an error - CUR-1558

In case an activity-serie that has an external Id was split by updating a single activity in the serie and thus creating a new activity-serie an error was thrown. This has been fixed, so activities with and without external Id can now be separated into a new activity-serie without error.

‍

Swapping an assignment doesn't swap the activities to the new assignee - CUR-1581

In case an educational task is moved to another assignee, the task is moved and shown on the task list of the new assignee. However, the assigned hours were still at 0 hours, and the module showed the activities were still assigned to the old assignee. In other words, the activities were not properly re-assigned to the new assignee.

A fix is applied that will properly re-assign the activities to the new assignee when swapping the assignee. This works both for 'named assignees' (staff members) and 'vacancies'.

‍

Activities defined in one of two overlapping ad-hoc periods are shown in both periods - CUR-1577

In case a module has two ad-hoc offering periods with overlapping start and end dates, the activities defined in one of the ad-hoc periods were also shown in the other (overlapping) period. A fix is applied to implement a more strict matching of activities and offering periods, so the activities in overlapping ad-hoc periods are only shown in the correct ad-hoc period.

‍

Qualifications should be manageable at study level - CUR-1556

The management of qualifications (add, create) was only supported from the specification level, allowing to add qualifications to a study that are defined on specification level. Since not all Curriculum implementations use the specification layer, it should be possible to manage qualification from the study level too.

The option has been added to manage (add, delete, link) qualifications at study level. The option is configurable to enable selection of a specification or study lead management of qualifications.

Configuration:

• In case no 'parent specification' is defined the add and edit buttons are enabled
• In case on the qualifications-awarded page template the option 'Show all' is set, adding an existing qualification will allow to add 'any' qualification.

Advanced person search should show all selected fields - CUR-1566

The configurable advanced person search allows for searching on persons and person attributes. The attributes can be added by the user, to extend the filter options. In case more attributes were added then the page-width can show, the fields at the left with the name of the found person ended up outside the visual area. A horizontal scroll-bar is added to the search in case the width of the configured search fields exceed the width of the page. This to allow the user to still access all fields and the matches found.

‍

Enable use of icons in the Curriculum mapping scale/level abbreviation - CUR-1548

The Curriculum mapping scale/level definition support abbreviations that are used in the various reports. The abbreviations are used to get a clear overview without showing the complete name on each matching occurrence in for instance the matrix reports. A change is made to support use of font-awesome when defining an abbreviation. This allows to define '1-character' icons to be used in the visualisation.

It should be possible to hide the method type on the appraisal template - CUR-1549

The appraisal template default shows both the code + type and the type of the assessments. This feels like duplication of the type information. An option is added to hide the type information from the list by setting the configurable page option 'Hide type'.

‍

The teacher assign page shows incorrect green checkmark - CUR-1576

The teacher assign page supports the user in adding staff members to the different activities and groups. In case an activity type is fully populated a green checkmark informs the user, otherwise a red cross is shown to indicate not all activities are populated. In not all cases the green checkmark was correctly shown, in some cases the green checkbox was shown when not all activities were populated.

The cause has been found and is adjusted to enable correct informing the users with the geen checkmark that all activities are populated.

‍

Enable usage of the change management report as a read-only report - CUR-1568

The change (management) report provides an overview of all changes applied and allows management of the changes, e.g. approval. A configuration option is added to the page template to enable using the change report as a read-only report.

Configuration:

Create a new page based on the change template and set the the read-only option to define a read-only change report.

‍

Studyability report shows incorrect information when using combined offering (ribbon) periods - CUR-1570

The studyability report didn't execute the matching of combined (ribbon) periods properly in case a match of multiple variants and/or advised periods were used. This has been fixed by enhancing the period matching algorithm, so the study-ability report will correctly validate the offering options and report the studyability as expected.

‍

Add filter option to categories in administrator type configuration - CUR-1544

The Administrator type configuration provides the option to categorise the defined type/information. Some of the types will have an extensive amount of categories, e.g. curriculum mapping subjects. A filter has been added to the category section to quickly filter and select the desired category.

‍

HTML preview should show numbered lists - CUR-1555

In case a numbered list has been defined in the HTML editor, the preview did not correctly show this as a numbered list. This has been fixed, so the numbered list can not only be defined, but is also visualised correctly in the HTML preview mode.

‍

Process manager should support filtering on person with role - CUR-1565

In case in the process manager a role is selected and a user is defined to filter all tasks for a specific user in the configured role an error occurred. This had been fixed, so filtering on a combination of role and person is working as expected.

‍

The page template teacher read-only doesn't show all weeks - CUR-1590

When using the page template teacher, the shown report shows all weeks of the planned activity. When using the same page template to define a read-only version, only the first week is shown instead of all the weeks. This has been fixed and both the editable and read-only variant of the teacher template will show all planned weeks.

‍

Improved roll-over process with better support for objects without externalId - CUR-1585

During roll-over all objects and their information is copied over to the new academic year. The roll-over uses the externalId to keep track of the relation of objects over the multiple years, for instance to support the navigation between years for a specific module. Since, based on rules and regulations, it is allowed to change a module code, the module code cannot be used to track the relation. To track the relation the externalId is used.

In case the externalId is not filled / used in the Curriculum configuration the roll-over process will automatically fill the externalId with a value 'CUR-ID-<dbId>' to enable tracking of an object over multiple years. In case the external Id is visible to users, this means the CUR-ID-... is visible and might raise questions. It is good to understand this behaviour is necessary to enable tracking even if the externalId is not populated in the regular process.

Configuration advise:

In case a Curriculum setup is not using the externalId, it is advisable to not leave the externalId empty. This will cause the roll-over process to create externalIds to keep track of the history of a module over multiple academic years. A simple configuration could be to start using the externalId and populate the externalId with for instance the code based on a formula in case it has no value (on Empty).

Extend resource management functionality

The upcoming sprints the resource management functionality is extended in order to manage resources (e.g. location, material, job, ...). The resources will be used in the budget-based cost calculations, to enable cost calculation based on the various used resources. Furthermore reports / insight will be provided when allocation resources in a specific week, that might overrun the available capacity of the resources.

‍

Extend the management of resources to support custom-fields - CUR-1488

The previous release covered an improved and more flexible definition and management of resources. This release extended support for adding resources to modules and activities to allow cost calculation. A new page template is added 'asset-cost' that allows the management of the resource related cost-lines to a module or activity.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Core integration handles relations using 'ownership typing' - CUR-1554

The Core integration used the standard REST API provided by Core to exchange objects and its standard and optional relations. In case an object was resent, it would update the object fields, drop the existing relations and create all the provided relations. This could cause situations where relations already set manually in Core were deleted. Based on this an update has been made to the Core API to support the update of the object and the update of the relations as separate endpoints. When sending 'relations', they are typed and only the relations of that type will be deleted and re-created. Preventing relations considered as not owned by Curriculum to be deleted.

The Curriculum -> Core integration has been updated to use this new mechanism offered by the Core API.

‍

Subjects populating the learningOutcomes OOAPI element should be kept in order - CUR-1535

The subjects sent using OOAPI are sent via the learningOutcomes element. The sorting in the learningOutcome was not following the defined sequence in Curriculum, but was on alphabetical order. This has been fixed, so the learningOutcomes element will sent the subjects in the correct (defined) sequence,

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

During this sprint, no vulnerabilities have been reported that need mitigation:

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

General improvements

It is now possible to select and add multiple Objects when using "Add Object" from the Reservation List. Just hold down ctrl to select multiple objects in the list.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes Info reservations would not be shown in Object Calendars.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Move user management to TE Admin - SG-385

A change has been made to the user management in Study Guide, by removing the user management functionality from Study Guide. The user management (e.g. define the administrators) can now be done using TE Auth, where the administrator roles for the majority of the TimeEdit products are defined.

Configuration in TE Auth:‍

• Add to enabled applications: TE Study Guide
• Set the role to: Role - System admin

Furthermore the Login is simplified and will auto open the SSO login in case only 1 provider has been defined.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Error when adding a question from the library to an evaluation - EV-309

Incidentally users experienced a 'server error' when adding a question from the library to an evaluation. This was caused by an expected pre-set title of the additional question block that should contain the question from the library. This situation shouldn't give an error, and has been fixed. Users can now add questions from the library to an evaluation without errors.

‍

Technical updates to stay up-to-date

Besides new functionality the sprints and related releases also cover so-called technical updates. These are updates not visual for the users, but guarantee the product stays up-to-date and uses actual and recent libraries and functionality. The mentioned security patches also fall under this regime, but they are mentioned specifically to inform the users what vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed. A similar approach is for the used underlying technique, but that is not mentioned in detail, unless it might have effect on the behaviour of the application.

During this release the majority of the time is spent to get the technical layer into a up-to-date shape.

‍

Added new histogram visualisation - EV-304

A new visualisation format has been added to display a histogram of the evaluation question results.

The original format showed along with the histogram information on the deviation and average.

The added format (histogram without average) only shows the histogram.

In both cases the average and deviation is shown (as a number) next to histogram .

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release mitigates the following vulnerabilities:

Due to the effort to get all technical aspect up-to-date a number of vulnerabilities have been addressed. In this case they are not mentioned, since they were reported as vulnerability in a specific context that didn't meet the technical setup of Evaluation. In this section we only report the 'positive matches' that require action to update to mitigate the mentioned CVE.

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Person name should be shown in assignments report - CUR-1516

The name of the person related to the assignment was not shown in the assignment reports. This has been solved, so the persons' name is correctly shown in the various assignment related reports, including the assignments report.

‍

Activity type should respect the field config - CUR-1524

The activity type didn't respect the field config, which lead to the option that in case the type was configured to be read-only, the user could still change it. This has been fixed, and the activity type field configuration is respected.

‍

Not all fields are shown when creating a new Method - CUR-1515

In case custom-fields with conditions were used when creating a new Method in some cases not all fields were shown. This issue was caused by an incorrect clearing of the cache before creating the new Method and therefor showing incorrect fields. This has been solved, and when creating a new Method the correct fields will be shown.

‍

Conditions for custom fields on module-group -> module-group relations should be respected - CUR-1504

Conditions to show / hide custom fields on the module-group -> module-group relation were not executed properly. This has been fixed, and now the conditional custom fields will be shown correctly.

‍

Extend process status widget for method, assessment and person - CUR-1377

The process status widget is standard shown on the 'general' page of the object (module, study, ...). This widget was not yet supported for the method, assessment and person object. This has been added in this sprint, so the general tab will show the widget, showing the status and enable management of the the process for the object.

As a user I want to copy exam activities in the activity grid - CUR-1174

The activity grid offered support to copy teaching activities, but not the copy of exam activities. The option has been added to not only copy teaching activities, but also copy exam activities.

‍

As a user I want to copy an activity series from the activity-list (in the method tree) - CUR-1499

Duplicating activity series is supported through the activity-grid. The option has been added to copy an activity series from the activity list too.

‍

Curriculum mapping level selection should enable to define the information to be shown- CUR-1492

The level drop-down selection was not configurable showing not the desired information. A change has been applied to enable configuration of what information is shown, to enable distinction be only show the label or both the code and label.

‍

Improve the visibility of the process status 'line' - CUR-1480, CUR-1492

The process status line provides an overview of the statuses and outstanding tasks per status in a process. In case a huge number of tasks were active, the number of tasks was unreadable. The visualisation is optimised by 'growing' the bullet with status and tasks information based on the amount of tasks. This will provide a clear insight in the tasks per status, even if there are ten thousands active.

Next to the visual change, the start date-time of process status has been added.

‍

When sorting on weekdays in reports, the sorting should follow the logical order - CUR-1478

Reports showing weekdays and allowing to sort on weekdays performed the filtering based on the alphabetical value of the weekday. Putting for instance Friday as the first day of the week, and Monday the second due to the alphabetical sorting. A change has been made to the underlying datamodel for the weekdays to add support for adding an order. The end result is that reports showing weekdays will be filter the days in the correct chronological order.

‍

Improve the usability of the person advanced search - CUR-1523

Based on feedback on usability of the advanced person search changes has been made to optimise the usability. The advanced search is extended by offering better support and guidance for filtering and keeping a cleaner overview.

‍

The date-time format should show a date-time picker - CUR-1246

When using the date-time format on a custom field, a text string was shown, not really assisting the user in fill-in a correct value. A user-friendly date-picker is introduced that can be used on date-time custom fields to support the user in selecting the date and the time.

The date-time picker is used as a general solution not only for the date-time fields, but also for the date and time custom-fields. Where a date field will use the 'date part' of the date-time picker, the time field wil use the 'time part' of the date-time picker.

Reports with time-blocks should show code instead of name - CUR-1529

The earlier integration related change for OOAPI to support the exchange of the time-block names changed the 'display' for time-blocks in all reports to the name. This has been reverted to only show the name in case of OOAPI message format, and show the code again the the reports.

‍

Faculty Staff availability should contain all staff members with an (in)direct relation to the faculty - CUR-1541

The availability process enables filtering of persons based on faculty. This would only select persons with a direct relation to the faculty. The filter is extended to both include the persons with a relation to the faculty (direct) and an organisation within the faculty (indirect).

‍

Extend resource management functionality

The upcoming sprints the resource management functionality is extended in order to manage resources (e.g. location, material, job, ...). The resources will be used in the budget-based cost calculations, to enable cost calculation based on the various used resources. Furthermore reports / insight will be provided when allocation resources in a specific week, that might overrun the available capacity of the resources.

Extend the management of resources to support custom-fields - CUR-1487

This is the first step, where the already available 'more or less hard-coded' resource management is modified to follow the model of the standard objects and custom-fields in the system. The custom-fields on the resource can now be configured and will be shown in the resource management screens.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extend Curriculum to Core integration to support availability - CUR-1481

The Curriculum to Core integration is extended with support to exchange the defined availability by the staff members in Curriculum to Core.

Configuration

Step 1 - configure the start and end time on the element Timeblocks

Step 2 - exclude the not relevant availabilities on the element Availability

The external ID used in configuring the Availability should match the used name in Core.
The example exchanges the availability (when is the user available), and the externalID is set to A_AVAILABILITY and the availability itself is not excluded from import.

Step 3 - configure the usage of te:sendAvailability on the person export type

Step 4 - configure the hook (if that is not already available)

The final step is to enable the hook in the process of use the process manager to send availability to core.

‍

Descriptions marked as 'ignore' should be excluded from the API messages - CUR-1543

The descriptions marked as 'ignore' were incorrectly not filtered from the API messages. This has been fixed, so the filtering is performed as expected.

‍

‍

This release mitigates the following vulnerabilities:

• CVE-2024-57699(8.69)

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

‍For more guidance on configuration and setup of Curriculum, use the relevant Curriculum manual.

Improvements

- Page configuration, Columns in schedule: Added text that there is no support for "Created by" in iCal

- Mail improvements: Implemented to always use custom week names

- New statistics "Usage" feature:

    - Track number of unique page visitors

    - Monitor access methods (web, iCal, PDF)

- UI improvement: Search field now expands to display the complete placeholder text when space is available, improving readability

Bug Fixes‍

- Language default: Changed fallback language from Swedish to English when customer's default language cannot be detected (happens in rare occasions)

- Localisation: Corrected Danish week abbreviation to 'u'

‍

‍

Improvement

• Enhanced mobile experience: The time header now remains fixed at the top while scrolling through booking options on the reserve page, making it easier to reference available time slots.

‍

General Update

Reservation Mode is now mandatory for a Scheduling form. The reason is that both Core and Autopilot requires this when scheduling activities. Some functions will simply not work if the form in Preferences does not have a Reservation Mode assigned. Also, future improvements for Preferences and Activities will require a Reservation Mode on the Forms, so we are now making it mandatory.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was possible to assign the same Course Instance twice on the same Study Combination. This would then cause downstream issues when trying to generate Student Sets

Improvements

‍

Enable to update the status of import jobs - SG-347

The nightly import jobs could fail without providing a proper message back to Study Guide. This causes the status to be kept in the 'STARTED' mode.

A safety is built in the import mechanism to prevent from running multiple simultaneous imports of the same data. So this meant that in case of the above mentioned situation the import has stopped but is still marked as 'STARTED'. And a new import cannot be started.

To overcome this situation a stop button has been added to the import to enable stopping a running import, but more important set the status to FAILED in the above situation, so a new import can be started

‍

Support added for use of / (slash) in the code - SG-381

In case a / (slash) is used in the coding convention of the educational objects, the navigation in Study Guide failed. This is caused by the fact the code, e.g. module code, is used as part of the navigation path to the module details. The / was considered a path in the navigation and not as a code, so the URL couldn't find the object, since the path followed was incorrect due to the /.

A fix is applied to encode the / in case it is used as part of a code, so the Browser and navigation can identify the distinction between the / used for the path and the / (%2F) used in a code.

Improvements

‍

Incidentally Evaluation only shows a 'blank screen' - EV-302

Incidentally users experienced a completely 'blank screen' when navigation to Evaluation, where even a page refresh kept showing the 'blank screen'.

The cause has been found and is fixed to prevent this 'blank screen' from happening.

‍

Error when opening a report using an undefined median value - EV-293

Reports using a median for comparison could fail in case the median could not be calculated. A median could not be calculated in case there were no results available to calculate the median.

A fix is applied to cover this case and enable showing the report using a median even if there is not (yet) a valid median calculation.

‍

No data is shown when using the compare reports functionality - EV-295

In case multiple reports where pinned that should be reported based on the compared reports template the result could be a report with no data.

This was only for the last year added External Examiner evaluation option, and caused by the fact there was a validation on the report type that not included this report type. This has been added, and the compare reports functions for all relevant evaluation types again.

‍

Response rate for an individual evaluation is shown empty - EV-297

The response rate shown on the evaluation report was not shown correctly. The actual response rate was shown as (%) instead of (50%).

This has been fixed, so the response rate for the evaluation is shown correctly. Furthermore the label of the last column has been changed to Total (%) to better inform the usage of this column that shows the percentage of the evaluation shown in the report.

‍

Important Terminology Change: Renamed Activity to Activity-Serie and Track to Activity - CUR-1465, CUR-1466

To further align terminology across the TimeEdit suite, the following changes have been made:

• The 'activity' has been renamed to 'activity-serie'.
• The 'track' has been renamed to 'activity'.

Data, configuration, pages and more will be migrated automatically. For example, the "activity-report" is now the "activity-series-report", but no reconfiguration should be needed.

Integrations and CSV uploads are backwards compatible, but please make sure the new types 'ACTIVITY_SERIE' and 'ACTIVITY' are selected where applicable.

‍

Enhanced Multi-Language Support for Integrations - CUR-1497

Integrations now support languages beyond English and Dutch, including in descriptions. This applies to imports, exports, and other integration processes.

Some integrations expect only English and/or Dutch, in those cases only the expected languages are used in the integration.

Please check if your integrations are still working as intended.

‍

Added Asynchronous Support for Export - CUR-1506

Export messages now include an "X-Callback-Url" header, allowing systems to process responses asynchronously instead of waiting for a direct reply.

‍

‍

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Advanced Search for Persons, Modules & Studies (iteration 2) - CUR-1440, CUR-1467

Building on the advanced search functionality introduced in the previous release, we have made several improvements.

Searching for modules and module groups now also includes all fields marked as "Searchable", ensuring more comprehensive search results.

These fields are fully searchable (like in reports), with entities and references presented as a select dropdown or other configured display types.

‍

Additionally, the person search now includes an advanced search option. When activated, the search input transforms into a table displaying names and all person fields which are configured as Searchable. The person search modals is also bigger now, to accommodate for 1 or more advanced search columns.

‍

‍

Added Offering Columns to Studies Report - CUR-1325

The studies report now includes offering columns (periods and remarks), making it easier to see when a study is offered, such as in which semester.

‍

‍

Subjects Improvements - CUR-1395, CUR-1449, CUR-1394, CUR-1441

Subject category management now displays only required fields by default, with optional fields accessible via an expand button. This improves clarity and streamlines configuration.

Additionally, the following issues with Subjects were resolved:

• When assigning a subject on the Subjects page, the configured default level is now correctly preselected. Users can still adjust the level if needed.
• The Subjects page now correctly applies the configured type parameter as a filter.
• Subject type description was not correctly displayed in the edit modal.

‍

Revamped News Page (Admin Only) - CUR-623

The news page has been redesigned using the latest technologies and the TimeEdit theme, featuring:

• Resizable columns (not saved)
• Improved validation and messages for incorrect/unsaved data
• A more polished and modern design

Feedback is welcome as we continue to enhance accessibility and user experience!

‍

‍

‍

Extended Reference CSV with Owner Information - CUR-1458

The Reference CSV now includes owner_type (e.g. faculty) and owner_id (e.g. 2700) columns, enabling uploads with ownership context, such as subject categories linked to a study.

‍

Structure Page Supports Parent Relation Fields - CUR-1299

The structure page now allows displaying module-group-module relation fields, such as the phase, as selectable module columns.

‍

‍

‍

Fixed HTML Description Can't Be Cleared Properly - CUR-1369

Clearing a description in the HTML editor now removes the content entirely, instead of leaving a blank HTML paragraph.

‍

Fixed Method Entity Field Loss in Rollover - CUR-1509

Resolved an issue where an entity field of a method was sometimes empty after a rollover. This was caused by methods missing a faculty id, which led to them being missed during the rollover process.

Additionally, the copy process now includes a fallback if the entity cannot be found in the next year.

‍

Fixed: Request Timeout on Initial Use in Cloud Environments - CUR-1470

Fixed an issue where cloud environments would occasionally show a request timeout on first usage in a while.

‍

Fixed Faculty Not Linked When Creating Assessment via Appraisal Page - CUR-1436

Fixed an issue where assessments created from the appraisal page were not correctly linked to the faculty.

‍

Fixed Automatic Selection of Default Report Template - CUR-1194

Templates are sorted by sequence, with the lowest sequence number appearing first. The first public report template is now correctly automatically selected by default.

‍

Fixed Read-Only Mode for Studies Report - CUR-1388

When a studies report page is configured as read-only, the create and bulk edit buttons are now hidden.

‍

Fixed Unable to Edit Activity Type - CUR-1355

Fixed an issue where the activity type could not be changed when editing.

‍

Fixed Parent Specification Not Saved for Read-Only Field in Create Qualification - CUR-1457

Fixed an issue where the parent specification was not stored when creating a qualification if the specification field was configured as read-only.

‍

Fixed Footer FAQ and Manual Sometimes Not Shown - CUR-1370

Fixed an issue where the FAQ and Manual links in the footer were sometimes incorrectly hidden. To configure the visibility of these footer items, configure the Static.Label.Faq.Url or Static.Label.Manual.Url labels to a value other than "#" (hashtag) or "" (empty).

‍

Fixed: Activity Weeks Now Displayed Chronologically - CUR-1348

Fixed an issue where activity weeks were sorted by number instead of chronologically in report pages.

‍

Fixed Conditions and Formula on Method Creation - CUR-1505

Resolved an issue where conditions and formulas were not always applied correctly when creating a method.

‍

Fixed Search on Vacancies - CUR-1467

Fixed an issue where searching for a vacancy caused a technical error to be shown.

‍

Fixed Copy Activity Series - CUR-1486 >11.6.1

Fixed a bug preventing activities from being copied due to the unique external identifier. The externalId is now excluded when copying activities.

‍

Parameter Validation Before Save - CUR-1485 >11.6.1

The parameter administration page now validates input before saving, ensuring that JSON-supported parameters follow the correct format. Invalid configurations are prevented, and an error is displayed if the format is incorrect.

‍

Unable to Close Workflow Assessment Report - CUR-1473 >11.6.1

Fixed an issue where the assessment workflow could not be closed when accessed from a report.

‍

Fixed Security Error in Module Activities - CUR-1474 >11.6.1

Users with a role on a module can now correctly access the activity report on a module object, if their role includes the VIEW_SCHEDULE and VIEW_SCHEDULE_ACTIVITIES permissions.

‍

Filter modules on custom defined credits should be possible - SG-379

The filter based on a custom-field defined on the Module->Credit object has been added, and a bug giving an error when using the filter has been fixed.
The bug was caused by the chosen approach to use credits.<custom-field name>, e.g. credits.ects, as the filter convention. The . caused an issue and has been replaced with a - (dash), e.g. credits-ects.

‍

Administrator configuration action:

In case a filter is defined for a custom-field defined on the Module->Credits object, adjust the name from the . (dot) convention to the - (dash) convention. For the standard minimum, optimum, maximum credit fields no change is required.

‍

On the evaluation general page the available public report should be shown as button - EV-290

The report button on the general page leads to the public report, but the report is not always available based on the evaluation type. The button should only be available when there is a report configured and available.

A change is applied that prevents showing the button in case no public report is configured, and show the name of the configured public report if it is configured.

‍

Technical error is shown when updating the start date of an open evaluation - EV-291

When changing the start date of an open evaluation a server error is shown to the user, and it is not possible to update the date of the evaluation. The cause has been found and is fixed (and is also applied as hot-fix to production).

‍

New benchmark report option added - EV-255

A new benchmark option is added that support configuration and display of a benchmark based on evaluations in a specific period and based on a specific filter, e.g. faculty.

The resulting reports looks like the following images, where in case the benchmark is configured:

• the deviation from the institution average for the selected evaluation is shown
• the deviation from the filtered value (e.g. faculty) for the selected evaluation is shown

The report can be exported in an Excel or CSV format, where the 3 values in the report shown in 'one cell' are spread over separate columns.

‍

Administrator configuration:

The first step to configure the usage of a filter-based benchmark, navigate to the Admin -> Parameters page and configure the filter value to be used as benchmark tag.

The next step is to configure which questions should be benchmarked. This is done by setting the Benchmark from and Benchmark to dates on the relevant questions.

The final step is to navigate to Statistics -> Benchmarks. This provides an overview of all questions and their calculated benchmarks.
In case there are no benchmarks shown, maybe due to the fact the benchmark is just enable on a question, click the synchronize button to start re-calculation of the benchmarks.

Improvement

• Do not allow users to copy of info reservations

‍

Improvement

• Incomplete Students Filter in Allocate Overview:
  • A new filter has been added to the Allocate Overview, allowing users to filter modules with incomplete students.
  • When the filter is applied, all displayed modules will also show the number of incomplete students directly in the table.
  • Note: The filter must be re-applied for the numbers to update.
  • The previous method of showing incomplete students (expanding a module) has been removed.‍
  • ‍
• Improved User Feedback in Registration Interface:
  • When processing a request (e.g., after clicking a button), a spinner will now indicate the action in progress on that button.
  • During this time, all other buttons are deactivated until the request is fully processed.

Bug fix

• Conflict Count in Student Adjustments:
  • The number of conflicts in Student Adjustments was not displayed correctly after changing filters or reloading the page. This issue has now been resolved.

Improvement

• Re-implementation of Enrolled Students Value:
  • The enrolled students value is now calculated on the backend, ensuring that the data is always accurate and available.
  • This change results in a slightly increased loading time, but guarantees up-to-date and reliable information.
• The number of incomplete students will be displayed when starting the Allocate workflow when in-complete students filter is applied when starting the workflow.

• Clear cache has been moved to the top-bar, under the user. This is available for users with Allocate::Admin scope
  • This gives access to clear cache without forcing the user to change view in the interface

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Support process on assignments - CUR-1438

Processes are made available for assignments, as an addition to the already supported option to define processes for persons.  The process also covers virtual assignments (vacancy) and the process manager will show the either the person or vacancy name.

‍

Added support for configurable advanced person search (iteration 1) - CUR-495

The person search box that is shown when adding a relation is extended with an advanced search option. The advanced search option can be configured by the administrator by marking the custom-fields to be used in the advanced search.

The administrator can mark custom-fields configured for the Person object to be available in the advanced search by checking the searchable checkbox.

The searchable marked custom-fields are available when adding persons to a relation by opening the Advanced search toggle.

This iteration implemented the administrator configuration part, the option to open and use the advanced search by users. In case the advanced search uses an element or reference value for search the user should define the defined code of the element or reference value to search for. In the next iteration (sprint) this will be replaced by an actual element / reference listbox to select based on the value and also support multi-select.

‍

Upload images in descriptions should not give an error - CUR-1442

Fixed a bug where uploading an image in a description would show an invalid image icon, instead of the uploaded image.

‍

The create_assessment authorisation should be respected on the appraisal page - CUR-1350

The create assessment was also visible on the appraisal page in case the user didn't have the 'create_assessment' authorisation. This has been fixed, the create button will only be shown for the user with the correct (create_assessment) authorisation.

‍

As an administrator I should have access to the on-page login permission information - CUR-1372

As an administrator the login permission information shown were the permissions of the administrator and not the user. Since the login permission information provides valuable information on the missing rights in case a page is not visible for a user, this affected the ability to quickly validate the permissions. This has been fixed, and the login permissions are no longer showing the own (admin) permissions, but the ones of the selected user.

‍

Authorisation and audit trail should use the correct user - CUR-1371

A change made recently enabled logging the 'logged in user' to be used as the author of a change. So in case a user was impersonating another user, the change is not logged under the name of the impersonated user, but on the logged in user. A side-effect was that the determination of the authorisation (access rights) could in some cases mix-up the permission of the logged in user with the impersonated user. The cause was found and is fixed and works as expected, so the audit trail information is using the correct (logged-in user) and the authorisation is based on the rights of the impersonated user.

‍

Custom fields defined on offerings and assignment FTE vales should be part of the year copy - CUR-1427

The custom fields defined on offerings and the assignment FTE values were not copied in the year copy. They have been added, so both the FTE values and any added custom field to the offering-object will be part of the year copy.

‍

Selecting a report with 'incorrect data' should not crash but still show the correct data - CUR-1432, CUR-1429, CUR-1461

The report generator has been made more robust, based on two small technical issues reported:

• In some reports the fields that could be added to the report had similar names. In some specific cases this causes the report to be not displayed (or even generated) correctly.
• In case a system that was defined as a String, and was already populated with data. And later it would be changed to a boolean without removing/replacing the 'String data', the report crashed since the textual 'String data' couldn't be substituted to a boolean value. A fix has been applied that in case a translation of a value to the configured data type is not possible the value shown is a - (dash). This causes the report to be visible and offers the administrator or user the option to check what information is incorrect and take the appropriate actions to change the incorrect (corrupt) value.

‍

Describing subjects (e.g. learning outcomes, skills) should support HTML - CUR-1219

The description field for subjects has been extended with HTML support. The description type can be set to HTML and the HTML editor will then be shown to manage the subject description.

‍

Activity handling improvements for modules with several hundreds of activities - CUR-1453, CUR-1452, CUR-1454, CUR-1425

An issue has been reported on performance of the activity reporting/management screens if a single module has several hundreds of activities assigned. This caused not only rather high loading times to retrieve the data, but for instance the activity grid page more or less froze. This was caused by the fact the visualisation (rendering) of the page is performed by the Browser and depends on the capacity of the users computer. But even if the activity grid succeeded in displaying the information, it is clear the grid is not designed to manage that amount of activities. The activity list is the page that supports the handling of these activity numbers.

The following improvements have been applied to the management of the activities and the user experience:

1. Since the activity grid is not providing user support for large amount of activities, the activity grid page will show a message in case the configured number of 250 activities is exceeded. This will offer all users handling modules with a number of activities that fit the UI-experience of the grid to use is. It will prevent users that handle modules with a large amount of activities to have a Browser that freezes and using an activity management page that is not fit for the job. The message will come 'instant' and advise the user to use the other management option.
   
2. The activity list view is extended to support pagination. This means that the report will respond 'instant with the first activities and the user can browse through the pages, or extend the page size to retrieve all activities.The paging size can be set by each user individually, which means that a user can still choose to use a page size of 250.
3. The activity list view will be extended with a filter option, to allow the user to filter the list on for instance a name or activity type. This will enhance the user experience when manipulating and finding their way in hundreds of activities. Instead of browsing through the list and visually identify an activity, they can now search for a specific activity that should be changed.

‍

Quality of life improvement for reports - CUR-845

The configurable report functionality provides the option to add-hoc show additional fields in the report list. An ad-hoc selection can be saved as a template, but is not always desired in order no to create too many templates.

In case some data changes were made and the report needed refreshing, the only supported way was to reload the entire page. This reloaded the data, but the side-effect is that the ad-hoc configuration was reset to the standard configured report configuration. So the ad-hoc required fields should be added again to show all the desired fields.

This release a Refresh button is added on top of the report, that enables refreshing the data (without having to reload the page) and keep the active ad-hoc configuration

‍

‍

When opening a form/page the focus should be on the first field - CUR-1326

When opening a form not in all cases the focus was set to the first field in that form (or on the page). A general change has been made to set the focus to the first active field on a form or page.

‍

Extend offering report to support custom-fields - CUR-1426

The offering report didn't show added custom fields such as capacity or remarks. The report hast been extended to show these missing columns.

‍

Extend support for item objects to use base objects (e.g. module, study) - CUR-1298

The item object can be used to add own objects to the system. An example could be a list of locations a public module is provided with information on venue address and pricing. The configuration and usability of the item object is extended to support configuration of a field of type object (e.g. a module, a study). The custom-fields defined on the item next to for instance the module object can use the values from that module object in formulas to set the field.

A practical example may be helpful to explain the above.

In case a new programme (specification) is defined to gather information on feasibility and impact, information on expected modules and impact on modules is required. An item list can be used to define the list of modules to be expected in the specialisation. This could require a item configuration like:

• module: reference to an existing module
  Type: object, subtype: module
• name: the name of a new module or the name of the selected module
  Type: string, formula: (module) localName
• credits: the credits of a new module or the credits of the selected module
  Type: number, formula: (credits) optimum
• students: the number of students defined on the existing module
  Type: number, formula: (capacity) optimum
• expected additional students: the estimate of additional students, to be used to get insight

By using the appropriate configuration references to existing modules can be added, values already defined can be used and shown. But also the option to override or add additional information can be added to the list to get a clear picture on the actual situation and possible impact.

‍

The result message when adding module-groups in bulk should be correct - CUR-1450

When defining the curriculum the option to add module groups in bulk to another module group always give the 'successfully' message. However, in some rare cases not all of the bulk selected groups are added. The message has been adjusted to correctly report if and which of the module-groups failed to be added.

‍

Display of reference items in select lists should follow the defined configuration - CUR-1357

The configuration for fields using reference (or element) lists support to display name, code and name & code. For some objects (like method) the configuration was not respected and in all cases the list was shown with the name. In most cases this is the desired (and default) visualisation. But in case a different visualisation type is configured this should be respected, which is implemented in this release.

‍

Enhanced performance of the change report - CUR-1463

From information in the system and performance logging we noted that the change report was not really providing an optimal performance. After analysing the performance is successfully increased for both reports with a limited number of changes (e.g on study) and the similar report with huge amounts of changes (e.g. on faculty). Some tests with the larger ones showed that reports taking 15 seconds are now retrieved and shown in 3-4 seconds.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extend CSV import multiple offerings in the same period - CUR-1447, CUR-1431

The CSV offering import has been extended to support uploading multiple offerings with the same module/period. The documentation has been updated, including a fix to the column header values for startDate and endDate that were incorrect in the previous version.

‍

Extend OOAPI v5 support for dateComment in offering service - CUR-827

The OOAPI v5 support for the offering service has been extended to support the dateComment attribute added to the eduXchange consumer definition v2.1 with support for EuroTeq.

"alliances": [
       {
         "enrollStartTime": "00:00",
         "enrollEndTime": "23:59",
         "dateComment": "P1 Morning",
         "name": "TE"
       }
     ]

‍

The import of relations using CSV could fail with an unexpected error - CUR-1455

Depending on usage of specific objects in relation to the person object, the import of relations using CSV could fail with a message "Query did not return a unique result: xx results were returned". This was an error in the processing of the CSV and has been fixed, to enable import of relations for all environments again.

‍

Extend the Evaluation integration hook to exchange additional attributes - CUR-1456

The support for the creation of evaluations in Evaluation using a hook in Curriculum has been extended to support not only the creation with the relevant members (relations), but also to add additional attributes like the faculty or study for the evaluated module.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

This release mitigates the following vulnerabilities:

• CVE-2019-1010266 (moderate)
• CVE-2018-16487 (high)
• CVE-2020-28500 (5.3)
• CVE-2021-23337 (7.2)
• CVE-2018-3721 (6.5)
• CVE-2019-10744 (9.1)
• CVE-2024-56332 (5.3)
• CVE-2022-37620 (8.7)
• CVE-2024-52798 (moderate)
• CVE-2024-43799 (2.3)
• CVE-2024-43800 (2.3)
• CVE-2024-37890 (8.7)
• CVE-2024-12801(2.4)

Most of the fixed CVE's are from using an older library that has been replaced. The CVE's were still marked active and not solved since they were marked as a 'false positive'. This means the library has functionality that is only vulnerable when this is used in the application. In this case the vulnerable functionality was not used in Evaluation.For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where public links to Viewer are not displayed properly due to read only permissions
• Resolves an issue where the reservation information panel would sometimes display the incorrect length for a reservation
• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes possible for a user to make a public View in Core from a private View, without the correct View Administrator permissions.

‍

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Added expand all option to the module-group structure page - SG-370

The study structure page provides a 'expand all' button to enable expanding the entire defined structure with one click. The module-group structure page didn't have this option, but this has been added to enable expanding the module-group structure with one click too.

‍

Extend support for custom-fields defined on credits- SG-356

The default credits configuration in Curriculum provides the fields minimum, optimum and maximum. It is supported to hide these fields and / or add own defined custom-fields. These fields were not exchanged with study guide and couldn't therefor not be added/shown in study guide. This has been fixed, so the custom-fields defined for credits are correctly exchanged and available for display in the study guide.

Configuration

The configuration of a custom credits field is shown in the image below.

‍

Add widget in Tab configuration sometimes not shown - SG-368

In rare situations the tab configuration menu didn't show the button to add widgets to be shown in the tab. The cause has been found and is fixed in this release.

‍

Added new widget to visualise the program curriculum mapping - SG-1

Curriculum mapping has been added to Curriculum and extended the last year. Some curriculum mapping data has been made available in Study guide at module level in the last year too. This year we kick-off of with the first iteration of a matrix-report widget that provides insight in the subjects (learning outcomes, skills, ...) that will be the outcome of the study and the contribution of the modules in the study to the different subjects and objectives (learning goals).

The image below shows a configured example of the curriculum mapping matrix report for a study in the study guide. The matrix-report is available to show the curriculum mapping information both for the Study object and the Module-group object.

As might be noticed, the category grouping as defined in curriculum (top of the image) is shown as code and not as the label. This is a known issue, but requires an API change that wasn't feasible to be done in this release.

Configuration

The configuration consists of different steps from definition of the basic configuration to enabling the widget to be shown in the study guide.

1 - Configure the widget

Configure a new widget of type Matrix.

A filter can be applied to limit the visualisation of the subjects to a specific category, e.g. reference.type=Lo&reference.subType=V. This filter shows only subjects with subject type Lo and subject category V.

The setup of the filter requires knowledge of the configuration in Curriculum and the used subject categories and types.

2 - Add the widget to the tab

The widget is designed (and usable) as a separate tab, just like the structure tab. This means that the visualisation of the curriculum mapping widget is performed by adding it as a new tab. This is done by adding the widget as a tab to the relevant parent(s).

‍

3 - Validate the configuration

The tab should be added and by selecting for instance a study the tab (Subjects) should be available and show the study curriculum mapping widget.

Click to open the report and validate if the configuration is correctly performed.
In the example below not only the module-subjects mapping is shown, but also the defined module-objectives and their mapping is shown.

We realise it is a first, rather complete, iteration. We invite you (study guide users) to test-drive the report and provide feedback.

‍

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Added new placeholder for student feedback - EV-265

A new placeholder is made available for use in notifications to allow sending the lecturer(s) feedback to students via a notification. The used templated field name is [feedback_to_students].

Configuration

A  notification template can be configured for sending the feedback to the students.

‍

Added a condensed person report  - EV-256

The condensed person report is a new report accessible to all users. The report will provide information on the staff members of a faculty/department and their evaluation results compared to the median and the deviation from the median.

Based on authorisation (access right) and assignment to a faculty a user can retrieve the report. Since the 'report' result is based on right and context the report will be available for all users and only after executing the report the result will be generated, either a message 'not allowed' or the 'report with data'.

The report is available in the top-bar menu.

A form appears that allows providing some additional details:

• Template: the reporting template to be used (see later for configuration of the template)
• Filter: the filter to be used for filtering the 'evaluated persons'
• Value: the filter value, e.g.
  • Filter = Faculty
  • Filter value = Science faculty
• Download: button to download the report result in Excel or CSV format

The result will be a list of staff members that meet the criteria AND the logged in user has rights to access the information for.

The result structure is:

• Person
  • Evaluations the person has been evaluated for
    • Evaluation result per question defined in the evaluation template

‍

Configuration steps‍

1 - Define a role with the report right

The role is optional, but is used to define what right has to be assigned to a role to enable viewing of the report results. The right can be added to a new role, but can also be added to an already existing role.

Open the Workflow menu option and select the Member types sub-menu.

• Select the Periodic evaluations and create a new role Report viewer
• Use the security button to assign the right Access to all reports

2 - Assign the authorisation

Open the Admin menu option and select the Relations sub-menu.
Select the Periodic evaluations and assign the created rol of Report viewer to the relevant persons.

3 - Define the report template‍

Open the Templates menu option and select the Reports sub-menu.
Select the Periodic evaluations and define/modify the template for the condensed lecturer report.

The next step is the configuration of the report template. This is just the standard configuration where the questions to be used in the report are defined.

The checkbox Only show your own evaluations has to be checked and defines the condensed report is grouped on a person level and thus the condensed lecturer report.

‍
4 - Test the report
Test if the report is shown correctly.
As an administrator you have access to the report and its data, so first test as 'yourself' to validate if data is shown in the expected format.
The next step is to login as one of the users you've given rights and test if the report shows data when executed as that user.

‍

Performance improvement storing generic response data at question level - EV-277

The above mentioned condensed person report is using 'generic' information on question responses, such as the mean and median result. This information was not available immediately, but has to be calculated based on the given responses (answers). To improve the performance of the personal report, the generic defined data is calculated and saved when closing the evaluation. The generic information is now available at question level and there is no need to traverse all answers and calculate at the spot when the personal condensed report is generated.

‍

API extended with service to retrieve 'my portal tasks' - EV-274

A new endpoint has been defined to retrieve users portal tasks, or in a more functional manner retrieve the outstanding and finished evaluations for a logged in student.

This service is intended as a generic service, and in its first iteration it will be used by the TimeEdit portal that is currently in development. The portal foundation is realised,. The next step is delivering student (and staff) related widgets, such as a widget providing insight in the students evaluations.

‍

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to create new objects in Core. This was caused by a previous release.
• Resolved an issue where the colors in the Order list would not always update when making reservations for them. The list will now always update after reservations are made

‍

This release has been cut in two different parts. The first part noted as a special Christmas release has been applied as a hotfix to the 11.4 release, but is technically part of this release.
The total overview of this release is therefor a combination of this release notes and the Christmas release notes

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Extend objective report with support to show the assessment code - CUR-1267

The objective report has been extended with an 'assessment code' column, which provides a comma separated list of all assigned assessment codes.

‍

Enable display of page information message on workload study report - CUR-1302

The workflows-study-report page template allowed to define informative page message, but the message was not shown. This has been fixed, so it is not only possible to configure the page message, but is is also displayed to the users.

‍

Extend visibility of publication and import date for assessments - CUR-1350

In previous releases different date fields (e.g. publication date, import date) have been added to both methods and assessments. In this release they are not only 'technically' available, but are also available on the admin page and in the different reports.

‍

Alternative offerings selection is not showing any offerings, but 'no options available' - CUR-1404

When selecting the alternative offering options and using the option to add a new alternative offering, the period selection doesn't show the available periods, but a warning 'no options available'. This has been fixed, so when selecting a new alternative offering, the period selection will show the defined periods (and its related Time blocks).

‍

Email notifications to a team should use the defined team mail address - CUR-1343

Email notifications were always sent to each individual related person, even when using teams that had a specific 'team email' defined.

A change has been made that:

• If a ‘email address’ is defined for a team, the team email will be used for sending the notification from the process
• If no ‘email address’ is defined for a team, the notification will be sent to all individual members of the team (like it was)

This change only applies to notifications of type 'send as email', defined in the process.
Ad-hoc mails and 'Send online' type notifications are always sent to each individual person / team member.

‍

Academic year should follow the selected task year - CUR-1312

When selecting a task, in not all cases the application didn't switch to the year the task was meant for. This has been fixed, so opening a task will now always respect the year of the process and switch to that year.

‍

Enable definition of description names for all configured languages - CUR-1360

The configuration of elements, for instance used to define the available text boxes for descriptions, only supported two languages to be defined. This means that in case a system should provide more than 2 languages all additional languages used the same header (first defined language header). This has been fixed, so it is now possible to define a dedicated header (name) for all configured languages.

‍

The configured custom URL title should be used - CUR-1375

The administrator can configure a custom Browser tab description via the Admin > Config > url.title.

In case the url.title is defined, the Browser tab will show the configured title followed by a ‘location’.

‍

Adding a new lecturer to an activity should automatically create the module-lecturer relation - CUR-1077

Using the configuration option admin > config > schedule.teacher.show_all = true it is allowed to add any person as the lecturer to an activity. The relation from the person to the activity was created, but the relation from the person as a lecturer to the module was not created and had to be added manually.

In this version a change has been made that will automatically create the module -> lecturer relation for a person that is assigned to an activity. The 'lecturer role' is determined based on the role that is configured with the option 'teacher = true'.

‍

Fields are sometimes not displayed or cannot be filled - CUR-1384

On rare occasions, and very inconsistent, users encountered an issue where certain fields do not appear on the screen or cannot be filled. The problem seems to depend on the browser and occurs inconsistently. Further investigation this could be caused when the data retrieved from the server was not fully available before building and showing the page. A change has been made to force waiting for the data to be retrieved from the backend prior to building and showing the page.

‍

It should be possible to configure planboard comments as optional - CUR-1385

The option to manage the comments (required, optional, none) didn't work correctly for the planboard. This has been fixed, so the behaviour of comments can now be managed using the standard configuration options.

‍

Allocation information should be shown in effort-list report on module - CUR-1402

The effort-list report on modules incorrectly didn't show the allocation information. This has been fixed, so the allocation information is available again in reports based on the effort-list template.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

API extension to retrieve person availability  - CUR-1263

The API is extended to support retrieval of the person availability via the endpoint schedule-preference.
Availability can be retrieved based on faculty, organisation or for a single person.

More information on the different integration options can be found in the Curriculum integration Academy guide

The Curriculum API definition is available at: https://timeedit.readme.io

‍

API extension with subject scale value - CUR-1381

The subject information for all Curriculum API's providing subject information is extended to provide information on the assigned scale (element: level) to the subject.

‍

Extend CSV import for persons with assignment - CUR-1294

The CSV person import has been extended to support providing and setting the persons' assignment.

‍

Extend CSV import for activity with offering  - CUR-1376

The CSV activity import has been extended to support providing the offering. This to support assigning activities to the correct offering in the defined period in case the method or assessment is offered multiple times in the same period.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

No vulnerabilities were reported during this sprint.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where the Cancel animation would look strange in some cases. It is now back to it's original, satisfying drop
• Resolved an issue where it was possible to Copy or Create a new Object in Core and giving it the same externalId as an existing object, which resulted in overwriting the original object. It now results in a clear error message instead.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Extend support for ILO (subject) management - CUR-1337

Several options have been added to the management of subjects (ILO) on specification, study and module level, focussed on improving the usability for users.

• Improved visualisation of the assigned subjects to specification, study and module‍
• Enhanced support for bulk select, based on a given parent
  A 'Compare to' option is added to select the parent and show all subjects assigned/defined for that parent.
  The parent is changeable, allowing support for modules that are given in multiple studies.
  
  If the 'Compare to' is empty all subject defined in the hierarchy are shown. This allows to bulk select subjects on a study using its (parent) specification.

‍

Extended person-based processes (availability) to support non-person actors - CUR-1361

The person-based process of gathering availability only supported the assigned person (logged in user) as actor. enabling for instance the lecturer to provide its availability.

The process will now support the notion of a 'person related' action/actor and any other actor based on a role in the system. The practical implementation is a process that will first ask the user its availability and then aks the faculty or organisation manager for approval.

In the configuration two changes have been made to support / steer the above process functionality.

• Add the Organisation the user belongs to the Person configuration
  Now both Faculty and Organisation can be used for assigning the person. This allows for selection of the correct stakeholder based on either a faculty role or a organisation role.

• A new configuration flag 'personal' is added to the workflow configuration
  By setting the flag 'personal' the workflow is considered to be for the logged in user, e.g. the lecturer that provides the availability. In case the workflow is not flagged as 'personal' the workflow actor is determined based on the hierarchical role (faculty or organisation)

Custom-field with name duration should show the assigned label - CUR-1356

Fixed a user interface bug where labels of a custom-field with the name duration (on method) was not respected, but always showed the label 'duration'.

‍

Placeholder [dynamic_link] should provide a correct link (url) - CUR-1352

When using the placeholder [dynamic_link] in notifications, the generated link (url) was incorrect and didn't navigate to the expected page. This has been fixed so the correct link is generated and used in the sent notifications.

‍

URL should be remained after login - CUR-1363

In case a direct link to a page in Curriculum is used, for instance directly jump to the structure page of study ABC this path was lost in case the user was not logged in. The effect was that the user had to login and ended on the dashboard. This has been changed, so instead of ending on the dashboard, the initial url is respected and the correct page will be opened for the user.

‍

UI gives an unexpected error Cannot find module './undefined.js' - CUR-1367

On rare occasions when switching the language in Curriculum a strange error page appeared with the message Cannot find module './undefined.js' appeared. The cause is found and is fixed, so this message will no longer appear when switching language.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Bugfixes event based messaging of method-events- CUR-1358

In the previous release support has been added to use the event based messaging on method changes / approvals.
Findings found by using this first implementation, e.g. not properly processing / showing the proposed changes, have been (hot)fixed in this release.

‍

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

‍

No vulnerabilities were reported during the part of the sprint that lead to this Christmas release.

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes Sum fields (counting members) on Objects would not update if a membership was added on "the other object". All sum fields should now receive updated values whenever a membership is changed
• Resolved an issue where Integer fields on Reservations would not properly update when the same field changes on one of its Objects. (Previously it was required to change the reservation to update the field value) All future Reservations should now receive updated values whenever one of its Objects changes, including Sum fields. (Reservations in the past will not be updated, to keep an accurate record of the values that applied at that time)

‍

Details

• Previously, if a supervisor had accepted an invitation and later received another one but did not respond before the expiration date, their invitation record would be removed from the display. This resulted in an empty slot in the supervisor list, even though the previous invitation had been accepted.
• With this update, if a supervisor’s previous status was Accepted, and their current status is either Pending or Expired, the system will retain and display the Accepted status as a reference. This ensures that the historical acceptance remains visible, providing context even if the latest invitation is not responded to.
• The override behavior will now be consistent across various parts of the application, including the supervisor list, room booking detail page, scheduling page, and personal invigilator dashboard.
• This improvement ensures that relevant information is preserved without overwriting the most recent status, allowing users to see both the prior approval and the current request status.

Configuration

‍To enable this feature, a new toggle has been added in the Exam Settings page under the Other Customizations tab, labeled:“Show previous accepted status if the current booking is pending and overdue.”

• If the toggle is off, the invitation behavior remains unchanged.
• If the toggle is on, an expired Pending invitation will be overridden by the previously Accepted invitation, if one exists.

‍

Improvement

• To make it easier to locate individual students within a module in Student adjustment, a new student filter has been added.

Bug fix

• In Student Adjustments, filters were not always applied when following View Student links from the Allocate Overview. This issue has now been resolved.
• For some customers, field mappings for student objects did not work, causing incomplete data to appear in the Student Adjustment table. This has now been fixed

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

‍

Changing uploaded document fields should not give an error- CUR-1319

After uploading a document, fill out the document related fields gave an error. This has been (hot)fixed and it is again possible to add or modify and save fields for uploaded documents.

‍

Appraisal page should show the assessment plan with its objectives- CUR-1317

An appraisal page configured to show the assessments and their respective objects (assessment plan) didn't show this information, since the height was incorrectly calculated as 0. This has been (hot)fixed, so the height of the assessment plan is calculated correctly and the appraisal page with its assessments is fully visible again.

‍

Add support to welcome page to define the order of the shown comments - CUR-1228

A new configuration option is added to the welcome page to define the order of the shown comments. The default is comments being shown in historical order (oldest on top). By setting the added 'ordering' configuration, this can be changed to newest on top.

‍

Adding a new method should show the configured 'new method fields' - CUR-1334

When creating a new method the configured fields to define the method were not shown. This has been (hot)fixed to enable creating of methods with all configured fields available / visible.

‍

Users should be able to create new qualifications - CUR-1322

It was not possible for non-administration users to create qualifications. There was an error in assigning the given permissions correctly to the user to enable creation of a qualification. This has been (hot)fixed, allowing users with the appropriate permission to create qualifications.

‍

Creating (and editing) a new activity should respect defined conditions - CUR-1305

When creating a new activity with fields configured to only be shown on a specific (generic) condition, the validation of the condition was not respected at create. For instance only show a field if the activity is created for a module in a specific faculty. Only after save the condition was evaluated. This has been changed to enable the validation of (generic) conditions both at create and edit of activities.

Condition for the example above would then be:

• :moduleId.facultyId != 'XYZ'
• not(:moduleId.facultyId in ('ABC', 'DEF'))
• :root.facultyId != 'XYZ'
• :root.facultyId in ('ABC', 'DEF')

‍

Selecting an 'object' in a report should always work in the same way - CUR-1290

To improve usability the behaviour of clicking information lines in a report has been standardised. This to improve usability, where users now what to expect. All reports allow clicking on a line, that will open the selected object in a new tab. For instance selecting a specification from a specification list will open the selected specification in a new tab.

‍

Prevent accidental change of system relevant fields - CUR-1342

Curriculum is highly configurable and invites administrator to manipulate defined fields and add new fields to the system. Some standard configured fields have  related logic in the application, but could be changed. This change would affect the system behaviour and could even lead to errors since the expected field configuration had been changed. To prevent these accidental changes the fields with functional logic attached have been made read-only.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Standard integration with Activity Manager - CUR-1029

As part of the AOP (academic operations platform) supporting the entire academic operations requirements from curriculum management via schedule preferences to scheduling to allocation and registration of students and finally the evaluation of the provided modules including feedback to curriculum management a new integration is standard available between Curriculum and the Activity Manager.

Via this new integration the module coordinator defined module delivery requirements (schedule preferences) can be sent from Curriculum to the Activity Manager. The standard process and integration options of Curriculum are supported, so the entered data can be sent from the process directly to Activity Manager after reaching a specific status.

The mapping configuration of the (custom) fields configured in Curriculum and activity objects and fields in Activity Manager is for the moment only available for the System Manager, but will be released as a System administrator function in the future.

‍

Descriptions using markdown lost the 'returns' in OOAPI services - CUR-1324

Descriptions written using the markdown editor lost the returns when transforming to the OOAPI format and sending the message. A fix has been applied that prevents losing the returns and exchange the (markdown) descriptions correctly to for instance eduXchange and RIO.

‍

Extend the method endpoint by providing extended period information - CUR-1272

The information on methods provided activity with a reference to the assigned offering period. To prevent from having to make an additional call to get the offering details, the response has been extended to not only provide the reference to the offering period, but also the start and end date of the offering period.

‍

Extend event based messaging to support method-events- CUR-1339, CUR-1340

Support has been added to use the event based messaging on method changes / approvals.

Export configuration and hooks can now be configured on Events to be used for automation of Method related events in processes. The relevant date fields (import date, publication date) have been added to the Method object with the same behaviour as the fields in the other objects, e.g. Module, Study, ...

‍

Extend message propagation using event based messaging - CUR-1275

Propagation can be used in event based messaging to extend the event being triggered to its children. For example in case a study is approved an event will be sent for this study. Using propagation this 'change to study' can also be configured to sent events for all of its module-group children. And by configuring the propagation for module-group this can also sent event for all of the module-groups children (module-group and/or modules).

The propagations supported are:

• * -> Specification
• Specification -> Study
• Study -> Module-group
• Module-group -> Module-group
• Module-group -> Module
• Module -> Method, Assessment
• Method -> Method
• Assessment -> Assessment

The propagations can be configured using the Export type in the custom field configuration.

General Improvements

• Added a setting in Preferences forms to allow Collaborators to submit forms. Toggling this On, will allow any collaborator to also submit the form. Leaving it Off means that only the Owner of the form can submit it. (this is the default behaviour )

‍

• Clicking the Open Link of a Form and the user has existing Submissions, the Submissions list will be shown instead of a previous form.
