3.19.0 Release Notes

Features/Improvements

Attendance Marking Permissions

Added new mark-all permission allowing unrestricted attendance marking for administrators. Introduced Marking Within Time Limit configuration option that controls how long after a session users with standard mark permission can edit attendance records, preventing unauthorised changes to historical data.

Calendar Export Integration

Users can now export their timetable calendar to third-party applications including Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar. This feature is accessible through the user profile settings.

Marking Screen Enhancements

The marking screen now includes a class dropdown filter for easier navigation. All object dropdown fields have been enhanced with an ‘All’ option for broader filtering. Added two new checkboxes: one to display components completed in the last 30 days, and another to show portal submissions. A ‘Clear All Filters’ button has been added for quick filter resets.

Re-enrolment in Same Intake

Students can now re-enrol in the same intake provided they have no active enrolments. Updated help text on the enrol student page and added detailed validation messages explaining why a student may not be valid for the selected intake.

Background Task Notifications

Background task tracker now includes a ‘Clear All’ button to dismiss all notifications simultaneously. The tracker state is now persistent across pages, remembering whether you’ve collapsed or expanded it.

Enrolment Index Filtering

Added Student Account Manager filter to the enrolment index advanced search, enabling easier filtering of enrolments by assigned account managers.

Mail Merge Template Improvements

Enrolment fee tables in mail merge templates now display fees in the same order as shown on the enrolment fee tab.

Impersonation Logging

System now explicitly logs all user impersonation actions for enhanced security and auditing purposes.

Country Data Update

Added previously missing countries to the system’s country list.

Bug Fixes

Email Subject Length Limit

Fixed issue where emails with long subjects were silently failing. Email subject field now has a 100-character limit to prevent sending failures.

Campus Holiday Attendance Marking

Fixed date comparison logic for campus holidays to ensure attendance sessions are correctly marked as ‘NA’ (Not Applicable) on holiday dates.

Intake Transfer Functionality

Resolved performance issues and applied general improvements to the ‘Transfer to Another Intake’ feature, improving speed and reliability.

Class Saved Search Date Criteria

Fixed bug where saved index searches were not retaining or re-populating date-related filter criteria.

Form Signature Field Display

Fixed issue where signature field labels were not displaying on forms. Required asterisk (*) now appears correctly when signature field is set as required.

Event Report User Filter

Fixed Event Report Index advanced search for User ID to function correctly. Corrected the ‘Assigned By’ label to accurately read ‘Assigned To’.

Enrolment Creation Attribution

Fixed incorrect ‘Created By’ user assignment. Student-completed enrolment forms now correctly assign the student user as creator. Administrator-created enrolments (via UI or API) now properly assign the logged-in user as creator.

Enrolment Index Status Filter

Fixed bug where selecting ‘All’ in the enrolment index status filter was only returning active enrolments. The filter now correctly displays enrolments of all statuses.

General Performance Improvements

Applied system-wide speed optimisations and improvements.
