This release enables searching for students without first selecting a module, and adds more granular control over Auto‑allocate.
This release is pushed to test at release date and production a week later.
Improvements
Search for students in Student adjustment view
In Student adjustment, it is now possible to search for a student directly, without first selecting a module. This has been a long‑awaited improvement, since students do not always provide their enrolled modules when contacting student services. Previously, staff often had to look this up before they could bring up the student in the Manage student interface.
Note: It is only possible to search in fields that are marked as Searchable. For example, Email fields are not searchable, so it is not possible to find students by email address.
Granular control of automatic allocation
Admins can now choose which parts of Auto‑allocate to run and when:
- Automatic Allocation: Allocate students to activities where there is only one option (group), ignoring conflicts
- Automatic De-allocation: Deallocate students who are allocated to groups where they are no longer enrolled in the module
- Daily: Runs at 06:00 CET. It will take all modules within the filter of the current period into account.
- Hourly: Runs every hour at 17 minutes past the hour. It will look at students modified within the last hour and update their allocations. The student has to be enrolled or a member of a group related to a module within the filter.
- Only run Auto‑allocate manually when needed (Run Auto-allocate manually)
Action required: All Auto‑allocate settings default to Disabled. You need to update Automatic allocation configuration in Admin to enable Auto‑allocate to run automatically again.
