New release of Allocate - Smarter group dedication, better handling of non‑scheduled groups, and a refined Allocate overview

This release simplifies dedication by removing capacity splits, makes non‑scheduled options visible by showing groups without reservations, and prevents de‑registration from hidden‑all‑groups activities when students are already allocated. We also sharpened the Allocate Overview to clearly separate capacity from allocation status.

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

Improvements

  • Dedication simplified
    • Dedicate entire groups to one or more student categories without managing capacity splits. Existing dedications still apply, but the capacity value is ignored.
    • Benefit: Quicker setup and fewer configuration errors.

  • Visibility of non‑scheduled options
    • Groups without reservations are now shown in Registration and in Manage student List view.
    • Example use: Offer a choice between attending a lecture in person or a recorded version.
    • Benefit: Support registration and allocation to options that aren’t timetable‑based.

  • Safer de‑registration behavior
    • When an activity has all groups hidden and a student already has an allocation, de‑registration is prevented.
    • Benefit: Avoids accidental loss of necessary allocations during configuration windows.

    • The table now highlights Capacity and Allocation separately.
    • Benefit: Faster scanning to spot mismatches and issues.
