New release for Allocate - Test and production

This release focuses on improving clarity around modules capacities and data quality for linked groups, as well as making Allocate Overview faster and more reliable.

Improvements

• Dynamic capacity in Allocate Overview
  • What changed: Capacity for a module is now calculated dynamically from its student groups (instead of reading the "expected enrollment" field on the module).
  • Why: Keeps capacity accurate as you change group sizes.
  • Where it shows:
    • Capacity number in Allocate Overview
    • Over‑enrollment warning in Allocate Overview
    • Over‑enrollment warnings in Issue list

• Linked group guideline warning
  • What changed: Allocate Overview now flags linked groups that do not meet the recommended configuration for linked groups.
  • Why: Makes data quality issues easy to spot and prevents unexpected allocation results.
  • In coming release we will add bulk linking of groups, where these guidelines are enforced already when linking groups. And the linking of individual pairs will be removed in the drawer.

• Faster and more robust data loading in Allocate Overview
  • What changed: Optimized how and what data is loaded behind the scenes.
  • Why: Enables features like dynamic capacities and improves responsiveness, of the interface.
  • Expected impact: Noticeably quicker initial load and smoother interactions.
• Quicker expansion of Allocated student in the drawer when no students are allocated
  • What changed: Reduced the time to expand the "Allocated students" section in the drawer when it is empty.
  • Why: Removes a small but frequent delay in everyday workflows.

Bugs

• Fixed: Could not save distribution rules
  • Symptom: Saving distribution rules failed without applying changes.
