New release of Allocate - New options for conflict control and clearer progress in Allocate

This release adds an admin setting to control whether students can register into conflicting groups and surfaces allocation progress at a glance. It also resolves issues affecting proposals, conflict control and visibility of unscheduled groups.

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

Improvements

  • Allocation progress at a glance
    • The Allocate Overview now shows the number and percentage of fully allocated (completed) modules at the top. The figures respect the modules a user can access. In a future update, they will follow the current table filter.

  • Conflict control setting
    • Admins can now configure whether students are allowed to register to groups that conflict with reservations the student already has, this is possible to override by staff in Allocate Overview and Manage student.

Bugs
  • Linked tracks with dedication
    • In some cases, allocation proposals could not be created for linked tracks with dedication. Fixed.
  • Conflict control scope
    • Under certain conditions, reservations not relevant to a student were included in conflict control and were also invisible in the graphical view. Fixed so only relevant reservations are considered and shown consistently.
  • Unscheduled groups not visible
    • Groups without a schedule were hidden in Registration and Manage Student view when no registration period was set. Fixed.
  • Percentage display in Student Adjustment
    • The “completed students” percentage could round to 0% or 100%. It now floors at 1% when more than one student is fully allocated and caps at 99% when at least one student is not fully allocated.
