New release of Allocate - Bulk linking of groups and control of reservation statuses to use

This release streamlines linking groups at the activity level and enforces recommended linked‑group rules across key workflows to prevent invalid allocations and registrations and allows you to control reservation statuses to use.

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

Improvements

  • Bulk link groups at the activity level
    • Link once per activity instead of group by group.
    • Faster setup with fewer clicks and fewer mistakes.
  • Enforced linked‑group recommendations across workflows
    • Prevents allocating or registering students into linked groups that do not meet the recommended configuration.
    • Applied in Registration, Manage student, Manual allocation, and when generating allocation proposals.
