New release of Allocate

Date
August 18, 2025

With this release we improve the suport to copy allocations between groups and added a settings menu restricted to Administrator users.

Improvements

Manual allocation - Copy group

The manual allocation workflow is now improved for the use-case when you want to copy allocations from one group to another group, even between different modules. Allocate makes sure to only allocate enrolled students, making it perfect for maintaining consistent group composition.

Key benefits:

  • Maintain student groupings across different activities and modules
  • Save time by bulk-copying allocations instead of manual selection
  • Reduce errors with automatic filtering of eligible students
Users can select any groups in the database as source groups to copy allocations from. In the next step, the list of enrolled students is filtered down to the enrolled students that are allocated to the source groups, those students are also pre-selected, so that users can simply confirm by pushing the allocate button.

Settings menu

We've added a dedicated settings menu in the top bar for Administrator users to improve discoverability of important functions restricted to Administrator users:

  • Auto Allocate button is now "Run Auto Allocate" in this menu
  • Clear cache has been moved from User settings to this menu
