‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

The duration field dropdown should show the duration - CUR-3806 (Hotfix)

In some cases the duration dropdown field was shown empty, even if a duration had been filled in an earlier phase. This causes the user to re-enter in order to proceed. This has been hotfixed, and the dropdown is properly filled with the earlier entered data.

‍

Order of notifications should be newest first - CUR-2458

The notification shown on the dashboard (bell icon) were shown with the oldest notification on top. The order has been changed, showing the last sent (newest) notification on top.

‍

As a user I should be able to assign a team to a role - CUR-3814

The assignment of the responsible person(s) to a role can be done either by assigning the individual person(s) and/or assigning a team. It was found the option to add a team was broken. This has been fixed, and teams can be assigned to roles again.

‍

As an admin I want to configure the option to create new activities - CUR-3482

If you click “+” on an activity in an activity-grid page, you can create a new activity within the same series in the same week. Since Data manager doesn’t support series with multiple activities in the same week the user should not be able to create these duplicates. This to prevent issues in the integration and 'loose' activities in Data Manager.

Configuration:

• Set the global configuration (administration/configuration) for schedule.prevent_duplicates to true

Below the two options are shown next to each other. Left the options with the prevent duplicates option set to true, right the default option (prevent duplicates is false).

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Enable sending activities to Data Manager via new 'internal' endpoint - CUR-3735

The data exchange to Data Manager is managed by configuring a hook using the standard defined integration. Since in the (near) future the used endpoint of DM will be replaced, the new endpoint is already implemented. During a transition period (until the end of life of the current endpoint) both options will be available. Once the current endpoint is no longer supported, the corresponding hook option is removed. In the meantime it is advised to change the configuration to the variant with 'new' in the name.

‍

The result of event-based data exchange should support the status 'QUEUED' - CUR-3766

When using the event-based data exchange, the supported responses from the receiving system (ESB) are SUCCESS or ERROR. Any other value will always be handled as ERROR. Since not all data will be executed immediately after reception in the ESB, a request was made to support the status QUEUED. This should be handled as a SUCCESS, but provides insight on the actual handling (synchronous or a-synchronous) to the administrator.

‍

Handling a module with a large(r) number of offerings should not give an error on status update - CUR-3796

In the end a highly technical issue, not immediately visible or affecting data. In case a module with a large(r) number of offerings was sent to Data Manager, the result of the processing was not always updated. This was caused by a timing error. Curriculum sends the package of offerings as a whole, and expected updates on the individual packages after that. But in practice the updates were processed immediately, and the results could come back before all offerings were sent. This caused the effect the activity update was done, but not marked correctly as processed in the Curriculum log. The mechanism is changed, and the updates can be processed while not all activities have been sent yet.

‍

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

Improve security based on extensive code analysis - CUR-3794

On a regular base an extensive security audit is performed using black box testing. During this sprint an in-depth white box testing is done. White box testing is testing with access to the actual code, allowing not only to find vulnerabilities via API or other 'external' touch points, but in-depth analysis of the code for possible vulnerabilities.

Some minor issues have been identified, that are fixed in this release.

‍

As a user I want to save a description with controller in the text - CUR-3744

Sometimes you're surprised by a bug. It was found that using the word controllers in a descriptive text caused the save to fail completely. The issue is addressed, and it's now possible to save texts with the word controllers in it.

‍

As an admin I want to configure the option to create new activities - CUR-3482

If you click “+” on an activity in an activity-grid page, you can create a new activity within the same series in the same week.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

OEAPI eduXchange published with the incorrect year - CUR-3813

In case the active year, used for the retrieval of course and/or minor information by eduXchange, was changed, the data was not updated to reflect the new year. The cause was that a change of the configuration parameter OOAPI.year was not immediately effectuated, since this is held in the application cache.  A more frequent refresh of the configuration cache is implemented to limit the time between the change and the effectuation.

This release is pushed to test at release date and production in 4 weeks.

Improvement

To improve the user flow for creating recurring reservations, several UX updates have been introduced:

• The Copy to other dates action is now shown as a clearly labelled button (replacing the previous icon-only action).
• After completing a reservation, the confirmation dialog now includes Edit and Copy to other dates actions.

This release is pushed to test at release date and production in 4 weeks.

Improvement

If a user who is not signed in tries to download a Text or CSV export, the download will return HTTP 404 (previously the users was tasked to sign in).

The following was released to Test environments on May 4 and will reach Production next week

General improvements

The Activity Settings panel in the Form Designer for Scheduling forms, has been cleaned up and is now a little less messy. Since the Activity Settings are mandatory in the new Preferences to DM workflow, the ability to turn it off has been removed.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where long texts would overlap in the Form Review page.
• Resolved an issue where sometimes the Forms page for submitters would time out due to large amounts of forms. This page is now quick to load 

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Study guide release schedule.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

An URL (link) to another object should open a new Tab - SG-617

In case for instance a module is as a link, e.g. a required module for another module, and the module is clicked it opens in the same window. It is desired and more logical to open the details of this referenced module in a new tab and keep the original information in the initial tab. A change is applied to open referenced objects (study, module-group and module) in a new tab.

Improve the robustness of the matrix report - SG-671

In case a study with with an empty node (no module-group or module) was shown in the matrix report, this empty node generates and error and prevented the matrix report to be shown. This has been fixed and the rendering of the matrix report is more robust on these edge cases.

The flag 'only visible for administrator' should be respected - SG-580, SG-646

The option to flag fields as 'only visible for admins' for assessments and links didn't work as expected. The different combinations of 'visible' and 'visible for admins' showed the information not according to the setting. This has been fixed and the flags to steer / limit the display is working as it should do.

Next to this change it was found that the flag 'hide when empty' was not implemented correctly for links. This has been fixed too.

When using a reference field in the Assessment widget title, it should show the label - SG-581

The assessment widget supports the definition of the title, using the assessment fields. In case the title was defined using an assessment field AND the field was flagged as not visible in the assessment overview the title showed either the externalID or an N/A instead of the label. This has been fixed, and for an invisible marked field of type reference, used in the widget title, the reference label is shown.

Removing a filter on top of the search result should reset the filter too - SG-651

When using a filter (select an option in the filter area) in a search, the used filter is shown above the search results. The filter can be removed by clicking the 'x' of the filter to be removed. This only removed the display of the filter, but the actual filter in the filter area (the checked checkbox) was not cleared.

This has been fixed and when removing a filter at the top of the search, the corresponding filter in the filter area will be unchecked.

Changing a field configuration should not clear the reference type selected - SG-645

An error was introduced in the field configuration. Any change on the field using a reference type, cleared the reference type. This has been fixed and the selected reference type is kept and saved.

The matrix report should be visually correct - SG-620

The introduction of a new UI component caused some display issues in the matrix report. They have been addressed in this release and grid lines and multiple related subjects and their level are shown correctly again.

A print of a study guide page should show the institutes logo - SG-629

When printing a page, the defined logo for the UI is also shown on the left hand top corner of the print.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. ‍

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

No security vulnerabilities have been reported that require mitigation.

‍

Improvements

New functionality, user experience refinements, and bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

‍

This release has no new functionality or any bug fixes.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is the automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. Fixes are prioritised based on impact: some may require an immediate hot-fix, while others are addressed in the current or next Sprint (release). For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

Improve security based on extensive code analysis - EV-416, EV-418, EV-419

On a regular base an extensive security audit is performed. During this sprint an in-depth white box testing is done. White testing is testing with access to the actual code, allowing not only to find vulnerabilities via API or other 'external' touch points, but in-depth analysing the code for possible vulnerabilities.

Three minor issues have been identified, that are immediately fixed in this release.

Refer to the Evaluation manual for configuration guidance.

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

Improvement

Mail: Recipient privacy improvement

• Previously, emails sent from Core included all addresses in the To field. Now, Core sends individual emails per recipient, so each email has only one address in To. This change is also applied for Viewer, Reserve and Plan.
• Why this matters: Recipients will no longer be able to see other recipients’ email addresses, improving privacy and reducing unintended disclosure.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where the object list would show objects even though a strict relation meant that there should be none.
• Small polish of the help popover for the reservation list search - adjusted the label for autopilot job ID and added a close button.
• Resolved an issue where the time indicator in the calendar would not accurately show the time where a reservation would be started when the mouse was clicked.
• Resolved an issue where fast clicking when removing members or related objects could also remove an object not clicked.
• Exam scheduling: Resolved an issue where Capacity reservations and Size reservations would overlap. Hovering on a Size reservation will now show it on top of the Capacity reservation text bar.

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

Improvement

Mail: Recipient privacy improvement

• Previously, emails sent from Viewer included all addresses in the To field. Now, Viewer sends individual emails per recipient, so each email has only one address in To. This change is also applied for Core, Reserve and Plan.
• Why this matters: Recipients will no longer be able to see other recipients’ email addresses, improving privacy and reducing unintended disclosure.

The following has been released to the Test environments on May 28th and will reach production next week.

Improvements

• It is now possible to set calendars with Type filters as not read-only. This can be useful for making some changes while not wanting to see certain conflicts. Note, this will not disable conflict control; any conflicts created while the Type filter is active will still be blocked like normal (you just won’t see them).
• It is now possible to select a Search field when searching for members in the Edit members dialog. This is useful if searches takes a long time.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where attempting to change the start time of a time header in a calendar would sometimes fail.
• Resolved an issue where it was possible to interact with the object list while it was loading, which caused unexpected behaviours. The list is now locked until the result is presented

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

As an administrator I want to hide the faculty tab - CUR-3354

Using the page visibility the administrator can hide  'default' tabs from the user interface. It was noted that he ability to hide the Faculty tab was not supported. This has been added, to enable hiding the Faculty main tab voor all users.

‍

The study code should not be regenerated when adding a new offering - CUR-3686

In case the automatic code generated for a study uses the offering as part of the code, the regeneration of the code was incorrectly executed when adding a new offering. A fix is applied to prevent triggering the code generation based on the creation of a new offering.

‍

The annual roll-over should copy the assessment custom-fields - CUR-2525

The fields credits and duration on assessment were not copied to the future year when performing a roll-over. The fields are added to the year copy functionality to copy the over to the future year.

‍

The custom-fields report should provide information where the field is used - CUR-2346

The custom-field report (administrator function) provides insight in the defined custom-fields and their attributes in the system. The report is extended to provide information on what page(s) a custom-field is used.

‍

As an administrator I want to see in which workflows a role is used - CUR-2480

When managing a role (relation), a new feature is added that shows the workflows the specific relation is used in.

‍

Manual notifications should only be sent once - CUR-3720

When sending notifications to staff members bound to a role, e.g. module coordinator, from faculty level, the notification was sent multiple times. It was found that the notification was sent to each staff member -> module relation, duplicating the notification for all users having multiple module relations. This has been fixed, and the notification is sent on individual, unique user.

‍

Workflows should support person-based notifications - CUR-2183

Notifications can be configured to be sent, for instance if a process changes status. In the definition the role(s) to receive the notification are configured. For some processes, e.g. the availability process there is no role defined (it's implicit) and it is not possible to define a notification at status change, since there is no role available. 

A fix is made, using the 'implicit user'. This means that for person-based workflows with no workflow attached that defines a role, the notification will be sent by default to the person itself. 

An example of a configuration that sends a notification to the person when reaching a status is shown below. There is no Role defined, so the fallback is the usage of the 'implicit person'.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extend the API to support retrieval of (non-)educational activities - CUR-3741

The API is extended with the new endpoint worklogs. Using this endpoint both the educational and non-educational activities (tasks) can be retrieved.

Usage: <your_url>/api/canonical/v2/worklogs

Filters:

• no filter: retrieve the non-educational tasks
• ?educational = true: retrieve the educational tasks
• ?year = 2026: retrieve the worklogs for the defined year. Default the active year is used
• ?person = JDOE: retrieve the worklogs for the person with external ID (login) JDOE.

Information returned:

• activity information: type, name, date, code
• worklog information: plannedMinutes, actualMinutes
• person information: id, code, name

‍

When updating an organisation via the API the last updated should be set - CUR-3516

In case an organisation (specification and qualification)  was updated using the API, the last updated dateTime was not set. This has  been changed, and not only the data, but also the last updated is set when using the API.

‍

It should be possible to to sent unavailability for users already have bookings to Data Manager - CUR-3724

In case unavailability information was sent to Data Manager, but the user already has booking, no updates were made since an error is thrown the user already has bookings. A change is made to allow double booking when sending unavailabilities, causing the unavailability to be created / updated even if a user already has defined bookings.

‍

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

In this version no vulnerabilities needed to be addressed.

In case the automatic code generated for a study uses the offering as part of the code, the regeneration of the code was incorrectly executed when adding a new offering. A fix is applied to prevent triggering the code generation based on the creation of a new offering.

The correct page should be opened after creating a new study - CUR-3680

When creating a new study, the page opened was not the newly created study, but the last page visited before creating the new study. This has been fixed, and the correct page is opened after creating a new study.

The activity-groups page should be extended with standard configuration options - CUR-3733

The activity-groups page doesn't provide the standard options all other pages offer. The missing configurations options are added:

• show message: enable the option to define a message that is shown to users as information
• show permissions in debug mode: show the required permissions when using debug mode
• auto-save: auto-save any changes when navigating away (instead of not saving at all)

The annual roll-over should copy the assessment custom-fields - CUR-2525

The fields credits and duration on assessment were not copied to the future year when performing a roll-over. The fields are added to the year copy functionality to copy the over to the future year.

The custom-fields report should provide information where the field is used - CUR-2346

The custom-field report (administrator function) provides insight in the defined custom-fields and their attributes in the system. The report is extended to provide information on what page(s) a custom-field is used.

Loading subject-categories should be (much) more responsive - CUR-3742

When assigning a subject (ILO, learning outcome) to a study, the duration to fetch the list of the defined subjects could take up to a minute in case a huge number of subjects was defined. It was found that not only the subjects directly related / defined for the study where retrieved, but all subject categories and their subjects.

A change is applied to only retrieve the subject categories and their subjects directly related to the study.

The character count for HTML texts should be correct - CUR-3753

The HTML character counter showing the number of characters left was showing / validating differently from the actual 'save' function writing the data to the database. The save function was counting the full text length, including any HTML tags. The on-screen counter was showing the 'nett' text length, without the HTML tags.

This could cause situations a text on screen was not marked as 'exceeding length', but could not be save with a warning the text was too long. This has been fixed and both length calculations are using the same pattern of counting the text including the HTML tags.

As an administrator I want to see in which workflows a role is used - CUR-2480

When managing a role (relation), a new feature is added that shows the workflows the specific relation is used in.

Manual notifications should only be sent once - CUR-3720

When sending notifications to staff members bound to a role, e.g. module coordinator, from faculty level, the notification was sent multiple times. It was found that the notification was sent to each staff member -> module relation, duplicating the notification for all users having multiple module relations. This has been fixed, and the notification is sent on individual, unique user.

Workflows should support person-based notifications - CUR-2183

‍

Extend the API to support retrieval of (non-)educational activities - CUR-3741

The API is extended with the new endpoint worklogs. Using this endpoint both the educational and non-educational activities (tasks) can be retrieved.

Usage: <your_url>/api/canonical/v2/worklogs

Filters:

• no filter: retrieve the non-educational tasks
• ?educational = true: retrieve the educational tasks
• ?year = 2026: retrieve the worklogs for the defined year. Default the active year is used
• ?person = JDOE: retrieve the worklogs for the person with external ID (login) JDOE.

Information returned:

• activity information: type, name, date, code
• worklog information: plannedMinutes, actualMinutes
• person information: id, code, name

When updating an organisation via the API the last updated should be set - CUR-3516

In case an organisation (specification and qualification) was updated using the API, the last updated dateTime was not set. This has been changed, and not only the data, but also the last updated is set when using the API.

The generate CSV for downloading references was capped at 250 elements - CUR-3751

When using the administration -> scripts -> generate CSV function, the reference values defined in the system are exported and can be downloaded. In case over 250 reference values for a specific reference were defined, only the first 250 were exported. A fix is applied to export all references.

Extend the OEAPI programs and courses with the alliances.name filter - CUR-3514

The API formerly known as OOAPI is renamed to OEAPI (open education API). A new filter has been added to the definition, the option to filter alliances on name. Alliances are specifically used in an eduXchange context to support exchanging educational information to different alliances. The filter alliances.name = <alliance> is used to only retrieve minors, programs, courses that are bound to a specific alliance.

In the Netherlands this is specifically used to enable both publishing part of the courses and minors to 'Kies op Maat', European alliances and inter-university alliances.

It should be possible to to sent unavailability for users already have bookings to Data Manager - CUR-3724

In case unavailability information was sent to Data Manager, but the user already has booking, no updates were made since an error is thrown the user already has bookings. A change is made to allow double booking when sending unavailabilities, causing the unavailability to be created / updated even if a user already has defined bookings.

In this version no vulnerabilities needed to be addressed.

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

Object management improvements

• Bulk delete objects

• Users can now delete multiple objects at once by selecting them and using the Delete button.

• To enable bulk deletion, users must first select an object type and then select one or more objects. The Delete button remains inactive until a valid selection has been made.

• When users click Delete, they will see a confirmation notification explaining that the action cannot be undone. Once confirmed, a delete job is started and can be tracked in Batch operations.

• Objects that are not used on any reservations will be deleted successfully. If an object is used on a reservation, the deletion will fail for that object. The job details show which objects failed to delete.

Bug fixes

• In user management. When entering a search term for organisation node, no narrowing of results occurred.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

When creating a new study, the page opened was not the newly created study, but the last page visited before creating the new study. This has been fixed, and the correct page is opened after creating a new study.

The activity-groups page should be extended with standard configuration options - CUR-3733

The activity-groups page doesn't provide the standard options all other pages offer. The missing configurations options are added:

• show message: enable the option to define a message that is shown to users as information
• show permissions in debug mode: show the required permissions when using debug mode
• auto-save: auto-save any changes when navigating away (instead of not saving at all)

The annual roll-over should copy the assessment custom-fields - CUR-2525

The fields credits and duration on assessment were not copied to the future year when performing a roll-over. The fields are added to the year copy functionality to copy the over to the future year.

The custom-fields report should provide information where the field is used - CUR-2346

The custom-field report (administrator function) provides insight in the defined custom-fields and their attributes in the system. The report is extended to provide information on what page(s) a custom-field is used.

Loading subject-categories should be (much) more responsive - CUR-3742

When assigning a subject (ILO, learning outcome) to a study, the duration to fetch the list of the defined subjects could take up to a minute in case a huge number of subjects was defined. It was found that not only the subjects directly related / defined for the study where retrieved, but all subject categories and their subjects.

A change is applied to only retrieve the subject categories and their subjects directly related to the study.

The character count for HTML texts should be correct - CUR-3753

The HTML character counter showing the number of characters left was showing / validating differently from the actual 'save' function writing the data to the database. The save function was counting the full text length, including any HTML tags. The on-screen counter was showing the 'nett' text length, without the HTML tags.

This could cause situations a text on screen was not marked as 'exceeding length', but could not be save with a warning the text was too long. This has been fixed and both length calculations are using the same pattern of counting the text including the HTML tags.

As an administrator I want to see in which workflows a role is used - CUR-2480

When managing a role (relation), a new feature is added that shows the workflows the specific relation is used in.

Manual notifications should only be sent once - CUR-3720

When sending notifications to staff members bound to a role, e.g. module coordinator, from faculty level, the notification was sent multiple times. It was found that the notification was sent to each staff member -> module relation, duplicating the notification for all users having multiple module relations. This has been fixed, and the notification is sent on individual, unique user.

Workflows should support person-based notifications - CUR-2183

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extend the API to support retrieval of (non-)educational planned and actual hours - CUR-3741

The API is extended with the new endpoint worklogs. Using this endpoint both the educational and non-educational activities (tasks) with planned and actual hours can be retrieved.

Usage: <your_url>/api/canonical/v2/worklogs

Filters:

• no filter: retrieve the non-educational tasks
• ?educational = true: retrieve the educational tasks
• ?year = 2026: retrieve the tasks for the defined year. Default the active year is used
• ?person = JDOE: retrieve the tasks for the person with external ID (login) JDOE.

Information returned:

• activity information: type, name, date, code
• worklog information: plannedMinutes, actualMinutes
• person information: id, code, name

When updating an organisation via the API the last updated should be set - CUR-3516

In case an organisation was updating the API, the last updated dateTime was not set. This has been changed, and not only the data, but also the last updated is set using the API.

The generate CSV for downloading references was capped at 250 elements - CUR-3751

When using the administration -> scripts -> generate CSV function, the reference values defined in the system are exported and can be downloaded. In case over 250 reference values for a specific reference were defined, only the first 250 were exported. A fix is applied to export all references.

Extend the OEAPI programs and courses with the alliances.name filter - CUR-3514

The API formerly known as OOAPI is renamed to OEAPI (open education API). A new filter has been added to the definition, the option to filter alliances on name. Alliances are specifically used in an eduXchange context to support exchanging educational information to different alliances. The filter alliances.name = <alliance> is used to only retrieve minors, programs, courses that are bound to a specific alliance.

In the Netherlands this is specifically used to enable both publishing part of the courses and minors to 'Kies op Maat', European alliances and inter-university alliances.

It should be possible to to resend activities from Curriculum to Data Manager - CUR-3735

When activities are send to from Curriculum to Data Manager twice they are duplicated in the DM data set. The integration is adjusted to keep track of the unique UID from an activity when sending to Data Manager, and an existing activity will be updated and a new one will be created.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

In this version no vulnerabilities needed to be addressed.

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Study guide release schedule.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

Upgrade UI foundation component fixes - SG-619, ..., SG-649 (Hotfix in 2.65)

In the previous release and update of the underlying UI foundation layer (framework) was performed. This is a merely technical task that is performed to stay up to date with all front-end security issues and enable access to new options. The change was tested, but on test it was found that a number of 'small' and/or 'annoying' front-end issues popped-up. During this sprint all the found and reported issues have been hotfixed. This means that the list of fixes mention below is not in the 2.66 release, but in the 2.65 (production) release.

• iFrame embedding of the studyguide was not working due to the standard restrictions in the new framework. This has been adjusted, and iFrame embedding is available again.
• Navigation to a module in the study structure was re-opening the study, instead of the module
• Mobile filter and sorting was not working correctly
• Admin filtering on references was not working
• Selecting 'Hide' on widget deletes the defined fields
• Different layout issues are addressed
• Tabs with spaces in the name should be clickable
• Not all labels are using the correct translation

Import studies from Curriculum should use the defined study filter - SG-631

It was found the study import was not using the study filter, but the module filter. This has been fixed and when importing the correct filter for the imported object is used. Next to that the filter can be emptied again.

Markdown based description display changed - SG-628, 634

When using Markdown in descriptions, there was quit a lot of white-space between lines, paragraphs and lists, reducing the readability of the information. The white-space is changed and the readability is improved. Next to the white-space change also the different headers were slightly restyled to make them stand-out more against the standard text. Especially the smaller headers (h3, h4) were too close to the standard text display format.

• Manual allocation now supports filtering the enrolled-students table by data in the configurable columns, Program of study, allocation status for the selected group's activity, and allocations to other groups within the activity.

• Student Adjustment now lets you filter enrolled students by Program of study within a selected module, making it easier to find students from a specific program in large enrollments.

• Updated the "Edit columns" UI in Student Adjustment and manual allocation tables to match other parts of the platform. This also adds the ability to change the column order..

• Allocate users can now see student-related data issues collected in the issue list, with a CSV download and a direct link to Manage Student so issues can be resolved faster. This normally shows by one student taking up more than one seat so enrollment and capacity don’t add up when an activity is full.

Bugs

• Fixed an issue where group dedications were dropped from the table and drawer after a deallocation reloaded data.

The following was released on May 13 and will be available in Production next week

General improvements

Support for Calendar forms when Preferences forms are submitted to Data Manager. Submitting a Calendar form will create Activities in Data Manager with a specified Start time and Weekday property. In other areas they are identical to "regular" activities

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where excluding objects was not possible after a form had been sent out
• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to enter 00:00 in a Time element
• Resolved an issue where Form roll-over would not work if some submissions did not have a recipient
• Resolved an issue where sometimes users with only Recipient permissions would not be able to access form submissions
• Resolved an issue where sometimes the "Update object value when generating activities" setting would not actually update the object values upon submission of a form
• Resolved an issue where a cloned Forms created time stamp would be incorrectly set to the same as the original Form
• Resolved an issue where sometimes users would be locked out of form submissions despite actively working with it.

The following was released on May 13 and will be available in production next week.

General improvements

The toolbar has received an update making it easier to performs certain actions.  Edit values, weeks, time constraints and sequence constraints (where applicable) are now readily available in the toolbar.

There is also a new feature for Rejecting submissions. Select any Preferences submissions you want to reject and type in a reason. Unlike the "Send for review in Preferences", where a new submission is created, rejecting a submission will unlock the original submission and notify the submitter on the rejection.

The following was released to the Test environment on May 13 and will be available in Production next week

General improvements

Update to the Jobs list in AM. The list is now cleaner and easier to overview. There is also a deep link from some error message popups to the Jobs listing

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where Preferences permissions was required for certain actions. No, only permission to Activity Manager is required.
• Resolved an issue where sometimes no error message would be shown if a change of Reservation status failed
• Resolved an issue where sometimes the selection list could lose its currently selected row, leading to unexpected behaviour (like emptying and switching to the "All" mode) if an object was clicked in the object list.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Staff no longer assigned to a module relation or activity should not be in the workload report - CUR-3345

When a teacher is removed from activities or the relations pages, the user still shows in the Workload report. A change is applied to no longer show the removed staff in the workload report and only show the current related staff members in the report.

‍

Changing offering start and end time of should not confuse users - CUR-3673 (Hotfix)

When changing the start date of an offering, the correct date was saved, but the field was shown in it's initial state (default to the grey 10:00 as input help). This of course confuses the users. A fix is applied and the date is now both save and displayed correct.

‍

As and administrator I should be able to define a new team - CUR-3551

The option to define a new team was no longer visible/available in the team management page for administrators. The button is added, and new teams can be created again.

‍

The create module authorisation should be respected - CUR-3668

The create module option should be shown in case a user has the authorisation CREATE_MODULE. There was one case where the authorisation was not handled correctly. If it wat defined at a faculty role, the authorisation was ignored and the add module button was not shown. This is fixed and the create module option now follows the authorisation rule on each level.

‍

The subtype of entity type custom-fields should be editable - CUR-3714

The subtype of a custom-field of type entity was not always editable. This to prevent administrator to accidentally select another subtype for fields that are bound to specific functionality. E.g. change the studyId entity from Study to Module would have a massive impact. Based on requests, the option to change the subtype has been added. Just be careful and remember 'with great power, comes great responsibility'.

It should be possible to report modules from a faculty perspective - CUR-3614

The study-module report is used to report all module group, modules and module attributes from the study perspective. The study-module report is extended to not only support the report from a study perspective, but also from a faculty perspective. From faculty perspective an additional column showing the program is

As an administrator I want to delete documents in bulk - CUR-1406

There was not an option yet to delete documents that have been uploaded to the system. The new option 'Delete documents' is added to the administrators script section. Usage:

• Script: Delete documentsParameters: yearExternalId (required), documentType (optional, Element externalId).

The script will remove the documents and will mark the reference to the document as deleted, so it can still be shown in audit trails.

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

Object management improvements

• Improved performance and usability when working with objects that have a large number of relations

• Relation lists now use infinite scrolling, making large datasets load faster and improving the overall user experience.
• Changes to relations are now handled in a deferred save flow:
• Added or removed relations remain in a pending state until you click Save
• Discarding changes restores the previous state instantly without reloading data
• These improvements apply only to relation lists on the main object. Memberships, other related entities, and availability related fields are unchanged
• Updated export behavior to improve consistency and readability

• Export columns now follow this order:

1. Ext. ID
2. TE Internal ID
3. Field data
4. Object type
5. Associations
6. General info

• Export error handling has been improved for large datasets

• Users now receive a clearer error message when an .xlsx export exceeds Excel cell size limitations
• The message explains that the .xlsx format cannot handle the data size
• Users are guided to retry the export using .csv format instead

• Columns saved

• When a user selects or deselects columns for each object type, the configuration is now saved in localStorage
• When the page is refreshed, the previously selected columns remain visible

• Result CSV files are now easier to review with improved sorting behavior

• Export results are now primarily sorted by status and secondarily by external ID
• Rows are displayed in the following order:
1. Error
2. Unchanged
3. Success

Updated UI authorization configuration

• Applicable only for users with this permission

• Auth configs are now in tabs instead of sidepanel

• Select to choose auth config

• Copy auth config and delete auth config are now larger buttons

• Copying will create new tab with prefix “[COPY]“

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where exporting objects to .xlsx could fail with the error: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'find')"

• The issue could occur when exporting filtered objects together with availability-related and relation attributes from Object Manager

Released to Test in ANZ, EU and UK regions, but directly to Production in Singapore region, on the 11th of May.

Improvements

• Migrated Room outbound sync to write reservations directly into room mailboxes instead of using the shared organizer mailbox, eliminating invitation-email fanout and avoiding Outlook’s 10k/day email cap
• Added automatic migration of existing reservations by removing legacy organizer events and room auto-accept copies, while soft-deleting outdated EventMappings
• Added webhook-based resync support for room events, restoring deleted or modified Outlook room events automatically
• Improved request handling by chunking ID lists into batches of 1000, preventing failures for very large reservations (e.g. ~8k attendees)
• Added optional inbound-syncer cleanup of orphaned TimeEdit Outlook events that no longer have outbound event mappings
• Introduced guarded cleanup controls to ensure safe evaluation before deleting orphaned events

The following has been released to the Test environment on May 9th and will be available in Production this week

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to search the Recipient List using both First and Last name 
• Resolved an issue where duplicate rows would incorrectly appear in the Recipient List when sorting on e.g. Primary Object
• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes not possible to move Events in a Calendar section when Tracks was enabled
• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to search for users in the Collaborators tab. The list is now also sorted alphabetically
• Resolved an issue where it was possible to map both Object elements and Object Filter elements to the same Activity Object type. This is not supported in Activities, so it will no longer be possible to create such forms.

The following was released to Test on May 7th and will be in production next week.

General improvements

Custom week names are now used in Data Manager whenever this is set up in Core. When importing Activities, ISO weeks will still be used in the import files, but will be displayed according to the Custom week names in Core

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

Module link relations should be shown - SG-571

Modules having a link relation with another object, e.g. requires, excludes should show the relation on both modules. Only the outbound relations were shown. A change is applied to show both outbound and inbound relations, e.g. excludes and excluded by on the two modules.

As an administrator I should be able to define labels in EN - SG-594

An error was introduced that prevented the administrator to manage and save labels in EN. This has been fixed and labels can be managed again in each of the supported languages.

The faculty page should provide an overview of faculties- SG-590

The faculty page was no longer showing the faculties, but an error. This has been fixed and the faculties are shown again.

Visualisation of HTML should be supported in additional fields - SG-574

Additional fields containing HTML data were shown as 'text' and showing the HTML-tags instead of the visual representation. This was a architectural/design decision to prevent security issues introduced by entering HTML / scripting in a field.

A change is applied to support display of HTML in additional fields, by marking the individual fields that should be rendered based on HTML input. This will provide the administrator the option to configure the relevant fields only and not open all additonal fields with the mentioned security risk on any field.

As an administrator I want to get insight in usage details - SG-551

Some months ago we got the request to provide more insight in usage details. We performed some detailed investigation and decided to select an external tool to support the requested insight.

The implementation of the Dashboard will first be based on a full anonymous set of measurements.

More in-depth analytics are supported, but they require a cookie and the corresponding user (student) consent. Based on demand we will investigate further on the usage of cookies for tracking and based on the result extend the analytics options (or not).

OPT-IN

The insight dashboard is an OPT-IN option. To get access to the dashboard for your environment, please file a ticket in Zendesk. The setup of the dashboard will be done and the credentials will be supplied.

Branding configuration should be centralised - SG-589

The branding configuration (logo, highlight colour) is configured in the different applications. This has been centralised in TE-admin, and each of the products will use the same logo and highlight colouring defined.

Usability, look & feel improvement of the administration section - SG-613

All admin pages got a visual refresh and are even more user-friendly and accessible. Part of the change is running past all admin filters and fix the ones that were not working as expected.

• Faster loading when opening Student Adjustment in a new tab (without first opening Allocate Overview)
• Faster loading when reloading Student Adjustment

Bugs

• Fixed a UI glitch in the program filter where the typed input overlayed the "Select" placeholder, and the previously typed filter unexpectedly persisted across reopens.
• Improved handling of a data inconsistency where a student is allocated to a group that is related to multiple modules. (These cases are highlighted in the Allocate Overview issue list since the previous release.)

Personal plan should not give an error upon opening the task list - CUR-3642 (Hotfix)

When viewing a personal plan and expanding the tasks section for study related tasks, an error could be thrown (undefined property ...). This was caused by the fact the study relation was not defined for the task. A hotfix is applied and the study related tasks are shown.

The personal overview of relations should be responsive - CUR-3665

In case a person has many relations (e.g. >150) the personal relation overview takes quit a while to load. A number of fixes is applied to inform the user and perform a responsive initial load:

• A loader is show to inform the user the page is being loaded
• The page is paginated, and the first page is shown. The user can navigate to the next pages.
• Sorting is performed in the back-end, reducing the load on the browser

As an administrator I want to use 'if ... then ... else ...' in conditions - CUR-3578

The support for conditions is extended with an 'if ... then ... else ...' construction, supporting nested condition. E.g. If (x=1) then 'set value X' else (if (x=2) then 'set value Y' else 'set Value X').

The used convention is: (condition) ? 'value if true' `: 'value if false'.

Examples:

• (:age < 40) ? 'this is true' : 'this is false'
• (:age > 40) ? ( (:age > 60) ? 'this is old' : 'this is middle-aged') :  'this is young'

The column search in reports should work - CUR-3593

The column search in reports allowed the user to enter a search value,  but the search was not executed. This has been fixed and using the column search with a value will return the matching rows.

A successful deleted activity-serie should not show an error - CUR-3507

When deleting an activity-serie on a method/assessment an error message pops up, even if the activity-serie is successful deleted. This has been fixed and the activity-serie is deleted without error message.

Automatic login not shown to users - CUR-3510

A user could be logged out in the middle of a session without warning. Identifying the exact moment the session is ended it a technical challenge. To limit the user impact, and improve user experience the first change applied it to extend the duration of the login-session to 10 hours (instead of 3). 

It should be able to force delete a module without error - CUR-3660

In some cases a module that should be force deleted was not deleted but showed a deletion error. This was caused by an incorrect order of one of the underlying delete statements. The order is corrected to enable module deletion in all cases.

Creating and working with a new report template has strange effects - CUR-3484

A report was made that when creating a new report template, changing it afterwards and refreshing the page, the report was not showing as defined. After thorough investigation we identified this could happen in case the template name was equal to another template name. To prevent this from happening, the management of the template is no longer bound to the 'template name', but to the underlying technical ID.

As an administrator I want to see where a reference list is used - CUR-1864

Reference list can be used on different fields, and the system didn't provide an easy way to find those fields. A change is made to show the fields using a reference list, similar to other configurations that show where the specific object (e.g. page, workflow, ...) is used.

The admin can click the field, to jump direct to the field configuration.

Conditional reference lists should be respected - CUR-3596

When using a reference list with configured conditional lists the conditional list was not correctly shown based on the defined configuration. This has been fixed, conditions will be respected and the correct list is shown.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extended support activity mapping to Data Manager (DM) - CUR-2715

The exchange of activities to data manager didn't support the option to define a set order. The mapping is extended with support for the sequence.

The localName of an activity was already available in the mapping, but in case the localName was empty a fallback was implemented to provide a default value. This fallback is removed to enable distinction between no value defined and value defined.

Support multi-value data exchange to Data Manager (DM) - CUR-2715

Support is added to exchange multi-select values to Data Manager. The values sent are in a single field, separated with a | (pipe) to meet the DM standards.

When viewing a personal plan and expanding the tasks section for study related tasks, an error could be thrown (undefined property ...). This was caused by the fact the study relation was not defined for the task. A hotfix is applied and the study related tasks are shown.

The personal overview of relations should be responsive - CUR-3665

In case a person has many relations (e.g. >150) the personal relation overview takes quit a while to load. A number of fixes is applied to inform the user and perform a responsive initial load:

• A loader is show to inform the user the page is being loaded
• The page is paginated, and the first page is shown. The user can navigate to the next pages.
• Sorting is performed in the back-end, reducing the load on the browser

As an administrator I want to use 'if ... then ... else ...' in conditions - CUR-3578

The support for conditions is extended with an 'if ... then ... else ...' construction, supporting nested condition. E.g. If (x=1) then 'set value X' else (if (x=2) then 'set value Y' else 'set Value X').

The used convention is: (condition) ? 'value if true' `: 'value if false'.

Examples:

• (:age < 40) ? 'this is true' : 'this is false'
• (:age > 40) ? ( (:age > 60) ? 'this is old' : 'this is middle-aged') :  'this is young'

The column search in reports should work - CUR-3593

The column search in reports allowed the user to enter a search value,  but the search was not executed. This has been fixed and using the column search with a value will return the matching rows.

The process behaviour of 'wait for last participant' should help the users more - CUR-2540

In case a process is defined with multiple participants, including the 'wait for last participant', the process will only continue of each of the participants is finished. However, in case a team is assigned as a relation (participant), the team should be handled as 'one participant'. Which means the process can continue if one of the team members has finished the task.

To support this, the following change is applied to the behaviour:

• When in a team, and a team member has assigned the task, the task will be greyed out for each team member. This will actively inform the other team members the task is being handled, including who (assignee) is handling the task. This will inform only, and not restrict other users from picking up the task.
• When completing the task as a team member, it will be done on behalf of the entire team. The task will disappear for all other team members dashboard.

As a user I want to see the description of a subject - CUR-1874

Subjects can be defined on a higher hierarchical level (system-wide, faculty, study) including a description. When using the subject on a lower level, the option is provided to define a 'overriding' description. In case this is not defined, no description will be shown in the subject list.

A change is applied to fall-back to the hierarchical defined description, to always show the relevant (own or hierarchical) description to the users.

A successful deleted activity-serie should not show an error - CUR-3507

When deleting an activity-serie on a method/assessment an error message pops up, even if the activity-serie is successful deleted. This has been fixed and the activity-serie is deleted without error message.

Authorisation to edit a route in a workflow should be  supported - CUR-3501

The editing authorisation for the route-planner page in the tabular view is supported, but the corresponding right to enable editing in a workflow was not. The access right EDIT_ROUTES_WORKFLOW has been added.

Automatic login not shown to users - CUR-3510

A user could be logged out in the middle of a session without warning. Identifying the exact moment the session is ended it a technical challenge. To limit the user impact, and improve user experience the first change applied it to extend the duration of the login-session to 10 hours (instead of 3). 

It should be able to force delete a module without error - CUR-3660

In some cases a module that should be force deleted was not deleted but showed a deletion error. This was caused by an incorrect order of one of the underlying delete statements. The order is corrected to enable module deletion in all cases.

Creating and working with a new report template has strange effects - CUR-3484

A report was made that when creating a new report template, changing it afterwards and refreshing the page, the report was not showing as defined. After thorough investigation we identified this could happen in case the template name was equal to another template name. To prevent this from happening, the management of the template is no longer bound to the 'template name', but to the underlying technical ID.

As an administrator I want to see where a reference list is used - CUR-1864

Reference list can be used on different fields, and the system didn't provide an easy way to find those fields. A change is made to show the fields using a reference list, similar to other configurations that show where the specific object (e.g. page, workflow, ...) is used.

The admin can click the field, to jump direct to the field configuration.

Conditional reference lists should be respected - CUR-3596

When using a reference list with configured conditional lists the conditional list was not correctly shown based on the defined configuration. This has been fixed, conditions will be respected and the correct list is shown.

AI translated descriptions should be shown immediately - CUR-3578

Some description translations were not shown immediately after translate, but required a save and manual refresh to show them. This has been fixed and the translated value will be shown immediately (without save and refresh).

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Extended support activity mapping to Data Manager (DM) - CUR-2715

The exchange of activities to data manager didn't support the option to define a set order. The mapping is extended with support for the sequence.

The localName of an activity was already available in the mapping, but in case the localName was empty a fallback was implemented to provide a default value. This fallback is removed to enable distinction between no value defined and value defined.

Support multi-value data exchange to Data Manager (DM) - CUR-2715

Support is added to exchange multi-select values to Data Manager. The values sent are in a single field, separated with a | (pipe) to meet the DM standards.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

In this version no vulnerabilities needed to be addressed.

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

The following has been released to the Test environments on April 28th and will reach production next week.

New feature - Max Concurrent Tracks

It’s now possible to set a limit for the max number of concurrent Tracks for any given Activity Series. This constraint will be used by the Autopilot while scheduling.

Improvements

Bulk edit on Track level - It is now possible to bulk edit multiple Tracks, just select the Tracks you want to update and hit Edit activities → Edit fields. This includes editing the Weeks of the selected Tracks

The following has been released to the Test environments on April 28th and will reach production next week.

Improvements - Edit certain elements in Active Forms.

It is now possible to edit the Label and Description of the Form, or any of its Elements after the Form has been sent. This can be very useful if you discover an error, misspelling or if you just needs to clarify something in the help texts (descriptions). It’s also possible to change the content of Static text elements, commonly used as instructions on the start page of a form.

If using Teaching Periods, it’s now possible to add additional Teaching periods even if the form has been published, as well as renaming the existing ones.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes users would be logged out from submissions due to an open tab in their browser. It is now only possible to edit a form submission in one browser tab at a time.
• Resolved an issue where reordering some elements would cause values to be set incorrectly. This would specifically be seen when using multiple Activity Type objects in Imported Activities
• Resolved an issue where the Assigners in the Assigners tab could not be filtered properly
• Resolved an issue where setting a Reservation Mode was not mandatory for Availability Forms. This would break scheduling so has now been made mandatory for any new forms.
• Resolved an issue where sometimes certain weeks in the Form where outside the Form period causing an inability to submit the form

This release is pushed to test at release date and planned for production 30th of April

Improvement

• We are experiencing a problem with malicious attacks with repeated requests to download schedule data as Text and CSV by guest users.
• Current mitigation: we are stopping all users from downloading schedules as Text and CSV (these endpoints are blocked).
• We will now open up Text/CSV download again for signed-in users, while keeping guest access restricted.

Bugfix

• Fixed a problem where guests downloading an iCal file got an error message.
• Admin: when configuring a page and Fixed interval is selected, saving Begin date & End date with a date limit no longer picks the date range from the URL; it now saves the page settings (upper left corner) correctly.
• Schedule: when a reservation contains multiple objects and only one object has a configured color, and use assigned colors only the reservation is now colored using that object’s color.

Bug fix

Create new rows for objects that have two types (rows were not created before; now fixed).

The following has been released to the Test environments on April 24th and will reach production next week.

Improvements

There is a new feature that can be toggled on in you personal Core settings: “Indicate start time in calendar”. Turning this feature on will show an indicator in the calendar the exact start time that will be applied whenever you make a reservation. 

The start time is based on the Time rules setup for the current Reservation mode and will help you pinpoint exactly where the reservation should be. Hopefully, this will lead to less errors forcing you to move the reservation after it’s been placed.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

The general page should be fully configurable - CUR-3498

The general page was partial hard-coded. A change is made to enable full configuration of the general page and only show the custom-fields marked as 'show on general'.

In case no fields are marked as 'shown on general', the generic fall-back is to show the externalId, code and name(s). If one field is marked, then these four fields will no longer show, unless they are marked as 'show on general'.

‍

The change of the duration type should not  block the subtype selection - CUR-3476

When changing the value type of the duration to Minutes, the subtype selector was set to read-only. Since the subtype is a required field, this prevented to make any changes to the duration field. This issue is fixed and the duration can be switched to a minute display again.

‍

When adding a new application or competence the field configuration should be respected - CUR-3382,  CUR-3383

The application and competence configuration provides the option to add additional custom-fields and define their sequence.  When using the application or competence template, the fields were shown, but the defined sequence order was not respected. This has been fixed and the fields are shown in the defined order.

‍

Selecting a search result or details from the menu should not require two clicks - CUR-3426

Due to the transition to a new front-end and underlying library sometimes issue pop-up due to the gradual migration where part of the application is still using the 'old' library. One of those is that the search result and other selections to check the details of an object requires two clicks instead of one. This has been fixed in this release.

‍

URL.title should be visible in the browser header - CUR-3509

An issue in line with the above  mentioned cause is the display of the URL.title in the Browser header. The issue is for 90% solved, there are still edge-cases by following a specific order in hitting the 'new' and the 'old' library based functions that will change the browser header to the generic  naming.

‍

Offering registration start and end date should be saved - CUR-3513

When changing the offering registration start and/or end date, the changes were not save. The cause is found and solved. Both dates are saved again.

‍

In the personal workload report the sum of the monthly availability exceeds the year total - CUR-3438

It was noted that when summing the values of the monthly available hours, the total was not equal to the total year available hours. The cause was found and is solved. The total of monthly and year available will be the same.

‍

The Ad-hoc page configuration should show the ad-hoc related custom-fields - CUR-3568

When configuring an offering page to be used in an ad-hoc context, the selectable fields were the fields of the standard offering. A fix is applied and based on the configuration of the 'Ad-hoc' flag (bottom of the paged configuration) the fields of the standard or ad-hoc offering are shown for selection.

‍

The change report for faculty should show the changes of the current year - CUR-3615

The faculty based change report didn't show the changes from the selected year, but from the previous year. This has been fixed and the changes related to the selected year will be displayed.

‍

As a user I want to copy a module from a previous year - CUR-3470

If you create a new module in a year and there are already future years defined, the module is not automatically copied over to the new years. This is on purpose, since it's not only the module, but also it's relations that may cause issues. Since there are situations where you still want the module in future years, and don't want to create it in completely manually, the COPY module function is extended. Support is added to copy a module from a previous year to the current year.

The copy will perform a check if the module (code) already exists in the new year. If so, the copy will be canceled. Only a module that doesn't exist will be copied over to the new year.

Configuration:

• Add a new field on module named originalYearId, which allows to select a year.
  
  • Value type for originalYearId: Entity
  • Subtype for originalYearId: Academic Year
• Then on the existing originalId field (also in module) add a “filter” to show original modules based on the above selected original year. The original modules is only shown when a year is selected using the “condition”.
  
  • Filter on originalId: :academicYearId.id = ':originalYearId'
  • Condition on originalId: :originalYearId > 0
• Drag both fields in a new page (or the existing page to create a new module
• Set the create page of custom type “module” to this new page if a new page is created
• When creating a module, use the new fields: first select the year and then the module
• The copy copies the additional/offering etc. from the original year to the new year

As an administrator I want to be helped with configuration questions (AI feature) - CUR-3616

When switching to Experimental the Admin section will get a 'purple' icon at the button that will launch the administrator AI support option. The AI support will the information published at the academy as resource to assist in question

By default some 'short cut' questions are provided some assistance in formulating a question.

To be honest we were pleasantly amazed with the quality of the answers provided.

The AI-function but will be launched during the TimeEdit Summit next week.

‍

Experimental

Since some major changes are made to the user interface due to the migration to a new front-end library a new Administrator option 'Experimental' is introduced. This option will allow administrators to already have a preview on certain pages and functionality coming in the near future.

As an administrator I want to view the new look and feel for pages - CUR-3331

Some pages have already been defined according to the new look and feel. These are only available in the new format when switching to Experimental.

The pages are:

• The Study admin page
• Add a new application
• Review and approve an application
• Add a new personal competence
• Review the personal competence

Not all functionality is already fully supported (most is), but we still wanted to give access to the experimental view.
In case you have feedback, don't hesitate to tell us, we really appreciate it. It will help us enhance prior to releasing to the users.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Hook 'remove from Broker' should remove the selected object - CUR-3597

The hook to remove an object from the Broker, with a sub sequent removal from the study guide didn't work. The hook is solved and the execution of the hook to remove the object from the Broker will actually remove it.

‍

The csv upload of relations should not freeze the system - CUR-3588

When importing a (large) csv of relations in a system with active processes the system could freeze. This was a highly technical issue with synchronous, a-synchronous and thread handling that was caused by the spin off to generate all tasks for the imported relations. This has been solved and the upload of relations can no longer freeze the system.

‍

Add support for multi-value information exchange to Data Manager - CUR-3612

Using a multi-value field in Curriculum will sent both values to Data Manager. The Curriculum default is sending multi-values separated by a comma. For the DM integration the values will be separated by a pipe (|), to meet the DM requirements for exchanging multi-value fields.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

Faculties should be ordered by name in a filter - SG-548

When using a faculty filter, the order the faculties were shown was based on the underlying faculty code. This has been fixed, and the faculties will now be sorted on there name.

Module to Program relation fields should be accessible and visible - SG-578

In Curriculum it is supported to define custom-fields on the relation from a module to a study (or module-group). This means the value can differ based on the program that is offering the module. This release the relation fields have been added to the the Curriculum to Study guide integration. The fields can now be used and will show the field based on their context (e.g. related program or related module-group).

Security

Improvements

New functionality, user experience refinements, and bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

‍

PDF print/export should show the histogram - EV-409

Questions of type 'matrix (one answer)' with visualisation histogram, are shown on the report on screen, but the histogram was not included in the pdf print. The issue was fixed in the previous sprint, but it was still happening in some occasions.

After further debugging it was found the issue was a timing issue, where in some cases not all information was rendered on page before creating the PDF and therefor the histogram was missing. Based on this new finding a new fix is applied and the PDF will print the histogram.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is the automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. Fixes are prioritised based on impact: some may require an immediate hot-fix, while others are addressed in the current or next Sprint (release). For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

During this release no vulnerabilities required mitigation.

Refer to the Evaluation manual for configuration guidance.

This release makes group dedication faster and less error‑prone by defaulting the program search to relevant programs. It also improves issue triage with clearer issue type names and a new data-quality issue type with CSV export.

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

Improvements

• When dedicating a group, the program list now defaults to showing only programs that are relevant to the selected module. Relevant programs are programs related to the module or related to students enrolled in the module. It is still possible for users select to search amongst all programs in the database.

• Issue list improvements

  • Renamed issue type: “No students allocated” is now “Empty Student group” to make the meaning clearer.

  • New issue type: “Student group data”

    Helps identify student groups with missing or inconsistent configuration and lets you download the details as CSV to fix the data in Core/Admin/Object.

    • Student group is missing activity type
    • Student group is related to more than one module

  • Terminology: In both issue types, “Student group” will be replaced by the object type name used in your configuration.

Bugs

• Fixed: Duplicate allocations after swapping linked groups

  Swapping linked groups could result in multiple allocations; this is now prevented.

• Fixed: Manage students not opening for some students

  In cases with a very large number of available groups, the Manage students view could fail to load. This has been fixed.

The following has been released to the Test environments on April 9th and will reach production next week. (Except for the Preferences to Data Manager feature, which will be released to production at a later date, in coordination with customers, in order to reduce operational disruptions)

New features - Preferences to Data Manager

For new Scheduling Forms, all submissions will now end up in Data Manager. This means that there are some additional mapping that needs to be done in the Preferences Form Designer whenever a Form is created. For each element in the Form, you need to decide how those values should be used on the Activities.

For more information on how this mapping works, please refer to this Academy article

For more information on how Data Manager works, please refer to this Academy article

If you do not have Data Manager enabled on your organisation, please contact support@timeedit.com and they will be able to help you out. Also, any user who needs access to Data Manager will also need to have this enabled for them.

If you are interested in a walkthrough of this new workflow, please join the Webinar on April 15th, or view a recording of the previous webinar

General Improvements

It is now possible to Unlock a Form, as long as it has no active Submissions. This means that all submissions need to be invalidated before the Form can be unlocked. This feature is very useful when testing forms that were generated from imported Activities in Data Manager.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes the Max class size value would not auto calculate for imported Activities in the submission, even though the Auto calculation was turned on.
• Resolved an issue where sometimes the Name of a recipient would not be correct after recipient import. Names are updated by the most recent import.
• Resolved an issue where it was sometimes possible to select Dates for an Activity that was on a holiday, even if “Don't allow bookings on holidays” was turned on

The following has been released to the Test environments on April 9th and will reach production in about two weeks.

Improvements

A few more things have been moved to the Top bar:

Pinboard, Drafts and Core settings are now found in the toolbar section in the top right corner instead of the side bar.

User settings like Language and Date format are now found in the User drop down menu

• Improved object management

• It is now possible to export objects in Admin

• Tutorial on Academy

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

Offerings should be shown on the module offering tab - CUR-3561 (Hotfix)

The module offering tab was not showing the offerings anymore after the previous release. This has been hotfixed on acceptance prior to the release to production. The offerings are shown again as expected.

Time information should be shown correctly - CUR-3560 (Hotfix)

Time information was not shown correctly, which could cause an effect that the time to display conversion ended up with an empty value (on screen) on activity-series custom-fields. This has been fixed, and the saved time information is shown correctly.

Date information should be shown in a date format - CUR-3539

Date information was not shown as date (YYYY-mm-dd), but as a timestamp. This has been fixed and the date is shown again in a date format.

The method tree should show empty values instead of 0 - CUR-3538

In case in the method tree (and also in other places) a numeric value was shown in a report, both a 0 and an empty value were displayed as 0. A fix is applied where an empty value is shown in case no information is entered and a 0 in case a 0 is entered.

The appraisal list shouldn't show the externalId twice - CUR-2165

In case the appraisal list was configured to show the externalId or code, they were shown twice. This behaviour has been solved in the case where the code or externalId are configured using the 'shown on general' setting.

Remaining known issue: In case the column option is used to add fields to the appraisal list AND the selected fields will contain externalId or Code they will still be shown twice. This is caused by the fact the code both lives on appraisal and assessment. To mitigate this requires a quit extensive rework of the custom-field resolution and will not be solved. The work-around is selecting the code and externalId using the 'show on general' setting.

When starting a new proces only the start notification should be sent - CUR-3579

In case a process step was configured to sent both a notification at start of the task (open) and a notification is the process was rejected to that step (re-open) both notifications were start at start of the process. The cause has been identified and fixed.

The hours per month should be correct - CUR-3451

The total available hours of a staff member is calculated based on the contract and the hours per year. The hours per month are based on a factor of this total per year. When showing the personal allocation information the factor is applied when switching from year to semester to month view. This to show the correct planned hours per selected period. The same factor was also applied to the available hours per period. This caused the effect that on Semester view the hours for January could be 141 and when switching to Month view the available hours were shown as 35 hours.

This has been fixed and the factor will only be used for the planned hours and not on the available hours.

Available hours should be updated after assign and recalculate - CUR-3504

The staff allocation and availability overview shows the actual assignment and availability of staff. In case changes are made in the allocation not in all cases the availability of the person is recalculated, this is standard done via the nightly re-calculation of all assignments and availabilities.

The report provides an option to execute a force recalculation, where the recalculation of the availability was only calculated after opening each user.

The behaviour was a 'quick-fix' precaution, since the recalculation could take quit some time. In this release a change has been made to this behaviour by implementing a 'targeted' recalculation:

The calculation of available hours should support usage of 'remaining hours' - CUR-3298

The use case is as follows:

• A person has an assignment of 1 FTE

• The person has a non-educational task as Program Director covering 60% of the FTE

• The person should be assigned with a 60/40 ratio to research and teaching for the remaining hours.

In this release the option is added to used a more dynamic definition of grouped tasks (labeled with the same label). The following mechanism is used:

• The label name is used as a ‘grouping’ mechanism to identify tasks that belong together
• A new dynamic calculated field is added to use the 'sum' of the grouped tasks. The naming convention is {label}Hours, where the label may not contain spaces, dots, dashes.
• Enable usage of the dynamic calculated field(s) in formulas

The initially mentioned use case can now be handled by defining the hours to be allocated for research with the following formula:

• 60% research of the remaining hours: (:fteHours - :coordinationHours) * 0.6

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Integration to Data Manager should support activity planning name fields - CUR-3564

The configuration for the integration to Data Manager didn't support usage of the planning name fields. This has been added and the configuration will now support transfer of the planning names using the planning.names['<lang>'] convention. E.g. planning.names['EN'] to exchange the English name.

Exchanging availability information to Core should support batch send - CUR-3549

An issue from a more technical background, that will also improve the through-put to Core. The availability information defined was sent to Core per availability moment (reservation). A change is made to group the availability exchange with 100 availabilities per request. This means the overhead of individual messages is reduced and handling of a single request with 100 availabilities will speed up the processing.

An event message should contain the object type sent - CUR-3526

When using the event to sent a changed object to an external integration service the event message doesn't have information on the object sent. Especially in situation where all events are handled by a single endpoint that will redistribute the further handling of the event to a dedicated handler (module, study, ...) this requires extensive analysing of the message sent to determine the object type and thus the handler.

The default message metadata is extended with the object type to ease the determination of the object type to be handled:

‍

When adding a person it should be possible to define the organisation - CUR-3329

It was noted both the CSV import and the API person endpoint didn't offer support to add the organisation relation of the person. This has been adjusted and both CSV import and person API support the definition of the related organisation. The person GET is extended to show the person relation.

The adjusted API definition is available via: https://developer.timeedit.com/reference/saveperson_v2

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

Offerings should be shown on the module offering tab - CUR-3561 (Hotfix)

The module offering tab was not showing the offerings anymore after the previous release. This has been hotfixed on acceptance prior to the release to production. The offerings are shown again as expected.

Offering based version support

The standard behaviour of Curriculum is the support of a version per academic year. E.g., a module is published once a year and during that year the module will be bound to that version. Changes could be made, but they would just overwrite the initial state.

Two releases ago we published the technical groundwork was done for support of multiple versions per year. A version will be bound to an offering, since this is the most logical publishable unit. This will support for instance publishing a version for a module for quarter 1 and a version for the same module for quarter 3.

The definition of changes allowed in a version and changes that require a new module are different per institution and are still applicable. This means that a version can also be a 'new' module. In case a module is offered in a program, the new module will substitute the 'old' one and a new program version is created based on the offering period.

The version support can not only be used for the regular programs following the standard academic year and its periods, but is also applicable to the more commercial oriented short programs or modules. In those cases an ad-hoc offering is used to support the distinct versions of a module between offerings.

After that we started developing the user experience and found out we had to redo the groundwork. Sometimes you learn that a in-depth design is not always perfect. A decision was made that a version is not a full copy of a module, but specific part of a module will support versioning. Module elements with version support are descriptions, additional fields (next release), offerings, teaching methods, assessments and activities. This is based on the fact that most (if not all) other changes will lead to a new module.

As an administrator I should be able to configure version support - CUR-2672

A new configuration option is added to enable offering based version support in the system.

Configuration:

• Navigate to the Administration -> Configuration menu
• Set the 'version.period_based' to true

As a user I want to create and view the available versions in its context - CUR-2675

The relevant pages in Curriculum (structure, planboard, module) are be extended to show if multiple versions are available. A user should be able to select and switch between versions that will then show the information for the selected version. The structure page will show the different version of a programme, the module details will show the different version of a single module.

In case offering-based version support is configured, the 'switcher' will be available and allow switching between versions. In case a version is selected and a change is made to the the object, the version is automatically created and the change is bound to that version.

The image below shows the version of a January start (a specific program offering/start) and in this case the curriculum will offer the full program in four years.

The image below shows the April start is a version that offers a changed curriculum. In this example a module-group is offered containing the standard supported specialisations.

The example is shown because of its visual simplicity, but any object in the structure tree can be moved, removed or added. For instance a change where a new module is added to be first offered in April.

A similar switcher has been added to the Module. The switcher will only be shown in case version support is configured AND the module has multiple offerings. As the image below shows the switcher in the workflow and allows selecting a version to be worked on.

If no version (or the first) is selected, the changes will be applicable from that version onwards. In case a change is made for the second period, a new version will be added. The version of period 1 and the version from period 2 onwards. In this case period 2 and 4. In case a change is made in period 4, again a new version is created and there will be 3 versions (period 1, period 2 and period 4).

Rollover to new year of the latest version - CUR-2677

The rollover will use the latest version of the selected year to rollover to the new year. In case no changes are applied, the initial version will be used. In case multiple versions are created, the latest version will be used.

Outstanding TODO's

Quit a big step is made and the function is made available on the test environment. There is still some work needed to polish the solution. Know outstanding work is:

• Extend support for versioning to additional custom-fields
• Improve UX behaviour (easy to find, toggle between version page refresh)

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Especially in situation where all events are handled by a single endpoint that will redistribute the further handling of the event to a dedicated handler (module, study, ...) this requires extensive analysing of the message sent to determine the object type and thus the handler.

The default message metadata is extended with the object type to ease the determination of the object type to be handled:

Enhanced and standardised the behaviour of the Broker integration - CUR-3417

The integration to the Broker was depending on the manner used behaving different. When using the 'send to Broker' hook, the object was sent including non-approved open changes. When using the script 'send to broker' to execute a nightly synchronisation based on the presence of an publication date. In that case the object was sent including any open changes.

The following changes have been made to standardise the behaviour:

• Added a Configuration option 'broker.include-open-changes' to define if the standard behaviour should be that an object was sent including its open changes, or only the approved data should be sent.The default (and recommended) setting is to not include open changes.
• Created a hook 'Approve open changes' to be used in the processes at the transition to the approval state. This will automatically mark all changes to the object as approved, so it can be sent to the Broker.
• Extended the hook 'Set publication date' with an additional option 'Approve'. In case the approve is set, both the publication date is set and the changes are marked as approved.

‍

When adding a person it should be possible to define the organisation - CUR-3329

It was noted both the CSV import and the API person endpoint didn't offer support to add the organisation relation of the person. This has been adjusted and both CSV import and person API support the definition of the related organisation. The person GET is extended to show the person relation.

The adjusted API definition is available via: https://developer.timeedit.com/reference/saveperson_v2

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.  Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

‍

As a user I want a non-highlighted info field - SG-566

Study guide supports the definition and configuration of informative (INFO) fields. Attention can be put on the information fields using the 'severity' settings success, error, warning, info. The information shown will then be highlighted with icon and colouring, e.g. light-blue, light-red, light-green. Since in some cases the information should be shown with no specific attention compared to the rest of the information the new 'severity' option INFO is added. This will show the information with a neutral background colour.

‍

Changing a language should immediately show the new language - SG-572

When changing language, the information was shown in the new language, but the shown labels stayed in the previous selected language. Only after a page refresh the labels were updated. This behaviour is adjusted and when changing language, both information and labels are shown in the selected language.

‍

Descriptions should be rendered if the text contains 'None'  - SG-579

Sometimes the collective memory doesn't help in finding the reason...

It was noted that in case a description contains the verb 'None' or 'Geen' (in Dutch) the whole text was not shown. There was a specific line in the code that filtered on these two words and excluded the text. The line of code is removed, so texts with any of the two verbs will be shown in study guide.

‍

Appraisals with added fields should be readable (new display option) - SG-565

The appraisal widget was mainly defined based on the standard Curriculum fields. In case several custom-field are added or longer descriptive texts are used, the perfect alignment was suddenly less perfect and limited the readability of the information.

In this release a new visualisation option is added, next to the existing one, that will show the information for the above mentioned appraisal configuration in a readable way. The fields will be shown in a standard display underneath each other, as shown in the image below

Configuration:

A new configuration option Widget column layout is added to select between Column (default) and List (new) view.

‍

Administrators should be able to synchronise the labels - SG-575

To add support for administrators to manually start the different synchronisation jobs, in this release the synchronisation of labels. The job will synchronise newly added labels and new languages with the standard defined values. Any existing labels with manually changed values will not be overwritten.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

As an admin I want to use :fte as calculation value - CUR-3429

A new standard calculation option :fte is added for the workload management tasks. This will use the standard contactual assignment of the user. E.g. a user has a contract with the department Law for 40%, then the :fte value is 0.4.

The allocation and assignment should not be set to 100% - CUR-3469

In the previous release an issue was introduced that when performing a recalculation of workload hours was using the 'separate offerings' settings by default. Where the 'separate offerings' should only should be used in specific situations. This caused the allocation and assignment to be set to 100%. This has been fixed, the default is restored and the calculation performed as expected.

The effort list should show correct totals - CUR-3466

In case a task is assigned to a period, and the periods are overlapping, e.g. quarter 1 and semester 1, the calculated effort totals were incorrect. Only one of the periods was used (due to the overlapping). This has been fixed and in case of overlapping periods, both are used in the calculation.

Auto generated ad-hoc periode code should be unique - CUR-3468

In the previous release the option was added to automatically generate the code of an ad-hoc period using a self configured formula. This function worked very well and is highly appreciated, the only issue was that the generate function that should automatically generate a trailing value to make the generated code unique was not working as expected. This caused message on 'duplicate code' and prevented the ad-hoc offering from being saved. This has been fixed and the code will be generated unique, preventing duplicate offering codes.

Terminated modules assessments should not be shown in the assessment-report - CUR-3336

The assessment-report template is used to report all assessments in the context of a faculty or programme. It was noted that assessments belonging to modules that were no longer offered (terminated in the selected year) were still showing.

A fix is applied and all assessments that are offered by a terminated module are no longer shown in the assessment-report.

The ad-hoc code should not be editable when set to read-only - CUR-3391

In case the code for offerings was set to read-only, it worked for offerings, but not for ad-hoc offerings. A quick fix would be to make it work independent for the offering type. But looking back in retrospective we realised there were quit some differences in the definition and usage of ad-hoc offerings.

We decided not to go for the quick solution, but to create a new object in the data model, where we now have the offering and the adhoc offering as separate objects. Both sharing their own configuration options, to ease the configuration and not doubting to hide or show fields based on type, select for both type to use read-only or editable.

Reference list management should show the references - CUR-3481

The reference list management (administrator) allows for the definition of conditional lists. In case the full list exceeded 250 items, not all values were selectable for adding to the conditional list. This has been fixed, so configuring conditional

The assessment-report should support filtering for owned and its status - CUR-34xx

The assessment-report is extended with support to filter the display on:

• show owned: show only the assessments owned by the selected object. For module it will be the assessments owned by the module. For programme it will be the assessments for modules owned by the programme
• show all: show all assessments, irrespective if they are owned or not owned

The user can select between the two filter options.

Configuration:

The administrator can configure the default behaviour of the assessment-report page with two new introduced configuration options:

• show all: the report will open, standard showing all the assessments (owned and non-owned).
• show filter: show the filter panel when opening the report (instead of collapsed)

In case a user applies for a role for an educational object, e.g. lecturer on module X, there was no option to highlight the relevant competences. This has been fixed, so the user can select the relevant competences for the application from its personal competence list.

When entering an application or approving an application for a role not only the relevant, but all buttons where shown. This has been fixed, and only the relevant buttons, e.g. approve/reject or cancel/submit, will be shown.

The competences report showed all competences of all users when retrieving the report for a specific department. This has been adjusted and only the users and their competences are shown for the department, instead of all.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

Ignored time-blocks should not be exchanged with TE server - CUR-3518

When using periods and time-blocks there is an option to mark time-blocks as 'ignore'. This should prevent these time-blocks to be exchanged to other systems. It was found that the TE server integration didn't filter the 'ignored' time-blocks. This has been fixed, so only the time-blocks that should be exchanged will be sent.

CSV import should support update of assignment fte - CUR-2618

When using the CSV import to upload assignments, the fte value was not correctly processed. A fix is applied to support updating the fte assignment value using the CSV import,

The allocation and assignment should not be set to 100% - CUR-3469

In the previous release an issue was introduced that when performing a recalculation of workload hours was using the 'separate offerings' settings by default. Where the 'separate offerings' should only should be used in specific situations. This caused the allocation and assignment to be set to 100%. This has been fixed, the default is restored and the calculation performed as expected.

The effort list should show correct totals - CUR-3466

In case a task is assigned to a period, and the periods are overlapping, e.g. quarter 1 and semester 1, the calculated effort totals were incorrect. Only one of the periods was used (due to the overlapping). This has been fixed and in case of overlapping periods, both are used in the calculation.

Activity-list used as method tab should show the defined offerings - CUR-3462

In case an activity-list was used as a tab on the method, the message 'no offerings found for this period' was shown. This has been fixed and the activity-list will now correctly retrieve the offerings both in tabular and workflow mode.

It should be able to use hooks or the report from the offering report to update offerings - CUR-3449, CUR-2659

There was no option to do 'bulk' changes to offerings, the only supported option was to change offerings one at a time. In this sprint two options have been added to offer 'bulk' change support:

• Hook: a hook can be defined for offerings, e.g. set a specific value on the offering. The hook can be used from the offering report on the selected offerings.
• Bulk edit: The offering report is extended with support for bulk edit. Columns that are marked for bulk edit are offered as editable fields in the offering report. By selecting the offerings to be 'bulk edited' and change the value, all selected offerings will be changed.

Improved validation of HTML data - CUR-3434

The validation and containment of the HTML data in the HTML editor was not 100% correct, which could lead to a situation where the 'Save' button was not shown. The issue has been solved, and the HTML is correctly validated, contained and can be saved using the 'Save' button.

The notification page should show the relevant roles - CUR-3308

The page-template to manage and sent ad-hoc notifications from a faculty was only showing the roles defined ad module level. This has been changed and the roles available for notifications (study, module) are shown,

Cost calculation should use the method credit values - CUR-3521 (hotfix)

When using the simulation model to calculate the costs effect on your foreseen curriculum changes, executing a new calculation cleared the method assigned credits. Which depending on the formula could be one of the key values to calculate the costs. The cause has been found and hotfixed.

Markdown editor should work - CUR-3522

The markdown editor could cause a freeze of the browser. This has been hotfixed, so the editor can be used without freezing your browser.

Auto generated ad-hoc periode code should be unique - CUR-3468

In the previous release the option was added to automatically generate the code of an ad-hoc period using a self configured formula. This function worked very well and is highly appreciated, the only issue was that the generate function that should automatically generate a trailing value to make the generated code unique was not working as expected. This caused message on 'duplicate code' and prevented the ad-hoc offering from being saved. This has been fixed and the code will be generated unique, preventing duplicate offering codes.

Terminated modules assessments should not be shown in the assessment-report - CUR-3336

The assessment-report template is used to report all assessments in the context of a faculty or programme. It was noted that assessments belonging to modules that were no longer offered (terminated in the selected year) were still showing.

A fix is applied and all assessments that are offered by a terminated module are no longer shown in the assessment-report.

AI translated descriptions should be saved - CUR-3467

When using the AI translation, the texts were translated and put in the corresponding text box. The page however didn't notify the change and the 'Save' button stayed disabled. This has been fixed, and translated and accepted AI texts will enable the 'Save' button,

The ad-hoc code should not be editable when set to read-only - CUR-3391

In case the code for offerings was set to read-only, it worked for offerings, but not for ad-hoc offerings. A quick fix would be to make it work independent for the offering type. But looking back in retrospective we realised there were quit some differences in the definition and usage of ad-hoc offerings.

We decided not to go for the quick solution, but to create a new object in the data model, where we now have the offering and the adhoc offering as separate objects. Both sharing their own configuration options, to ease the configuration and not doubting to hide or show fields based on type, select for both type to use read-only or editable.

Reference list management should show the references - CUR-3481

The reference list management (administrator) allows for the definition of conditional lists. In case the full list exceeded 250 items, not all values were selectable for adding to the conditional list. This has been fixed, so configuring conditional

The assessment-report should support filtering for owned and its status - CUR-34xx

The assessment-report is extended with support to filter the display on:

• show owned: show only the assessments owned by the selected object. For module it will be the assessments owned by the module. For programme it will be the assessments for modules owned by the programme
• show all: show all assessments, irrespective if they are owned or not owned

The user can select between the two filter options.

Configuration:

The administrator can configure the default behaviour of the assessment-report page with two new introduced configuration options:

• show all: the report will open, standard showing all the assessments (owned and non-owned).
• show filter: show the filter panel when opening the report (instead of collapsed)

A required description field should prevent proceeding the workflow when left empty - CUR-3478

In case a description field is configured as 'required', the workflow didn't respect the setting and allowed proceeding without providing a value for the description field. This has been fixed and required descriptions now must have data in order to proceed.

Multi-values should be shown correctly on the general page - CUR-3333

The display of multi-values was broken and had been fixed in the previous sprint. It turned out the fix was not covering all cases, a multi-value field on the general page only shows one value. A fix is made and the multi-value display is working as expected on the general page.

In case a user applies for a role for an educational object, e.g. lecturer on module X, there was no option to highlight the relevant competences. This has been fixed, so the user can select the relevant competences for the application from its personal competence list.

When entering an application or approving an application for a role not only the relevant, but all buttons where shown. This has been fixed, and only the relevant buttons, e.g. approve/reject or cancel/submit, will be shown.

The competences report showed all competences of all users when retrieving the report for a specific department. This has been adjusted and only the users and their competences are shown for the department, instead of all.

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

The broker API should not return only the default year - CUR-3479

When using the broker for data exchange with the Study guide, the data synchronisation didn't use the specified year, but synchronised the default year. This has been adjusted, so the specified year will be respected.

The calendar endpoint should provide the uid for periods - CUR-3324

The calendar endpoint result is extended to provide a uid for the periods.

Ignored time-blocks should not be exchanged with TE server - CUR-3518

When using periods and time-blocks there is an option to mark time-blocks as 'ignore'. This should prevent these time-blocks to be exchanged to other systems. It was found that the TE server integration didn't filter the 'ignored' time-blocks. This has been fixed, so only the time-blocks that should be exchanged will be sent.

CSV import should support update of assignment fte - CUR-2618

When using the CSV import to upload assignments, the fte value was not correctly processed. A fix is applied to support updating the fte assignment value using the CSV import,

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

The following has been released to the Test environments on March 18th and will reach production next week.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where it was not possible to clear the Padding element setting in Activity settings in the Form Designer
• Resolved an issue where the filters in the Forms list would not work as expected. The filter popup will now stay open until the whole filter has been set. The filter values are also no longer case sensitive
• Resolved an issue where importing collaborators would incorrectly give them the name of the owner of the submission. They are now left blank
• Resolved an issue where the week selector in the All Activities page would default to the incorrect weeks based on the Teaching Period selected. They would show the first week of the Form period rather than the first week of the selected Teaching period
• Resolved an issue where Activity Types would be duplicated in the Form submission when Reviewing imported activities and multiple Activity Type objects were included.

Note:

We have also incorrectly disabled some Activity Settings when Activity Templates are disabled, like the Padding, Weekday and Start time settings. This is incorrect and will be remedied shortly.

The following has been released to the Test environments on March 18th and will reach production next week.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes updating exam requests did not produce the expected dialog to confirm the change.
• Resolved an issue where optional and availability related objects were not preserved as expected when editing an object
• Resolved an issue where sometimes filtering in the Replace Object dialog would show the incorrect results

The following has been released to the Test environments on March 18th and will reach production next week.

Improvements

• Deleting Tags in Activity Manager (and soon Data Manager). It is now possible to permanently delete a Tag directly from the Tag search list. This does not fully replace a much desired Tag management page, but is a small feature to help manage old and stale Tags

• When Bulk editing Activities in Data Manager, it is now possible to Find and Replace an Object or Object Filter on all selected Activities. The function will replace the selected object on the activities where it is set. This also works if there are multiple or different objects of the selected type on the Activities.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where sometimes the Send Review Link in the Submissions tab in Activity Manager would return an error.
• Resolved an issue where searching for Tags in Data Manager (and Activity Manager) would not give the expected results
• Resolved an issue where the Drawer (Activity details popout) could sometimes contain old data. It is now refreshed whenever opened.

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

Bug fixes

• Viewer pages opened via links generated by Schedule Creator were incorrectly cached for 60 minutes for signed-in users (these pages should not be cached for signed-in users). This is now fixed when generating new links.
• On schedule pages where reservations are split by object, the summary at the bottom of the page was calculated incorrectly. This is now fixed.

Available on 17th of March on Production.

‍

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue in Activity Manager, where sometimes filtering on Submission, by clicking the yellow filter icon in the Submissions tab,  would not work.

Available on 17th of March on Production.

Naming update

• Our new Exam product has from today been re-named to Assessment, to better reflect the long term vision of the product. Our previous Exam product will continue to be named Exam.
• The name separation will also make it easier to distinquish between the versions across release notes, support tickets and so on.
• As part of the naming update, we have also enabled the ability to run both versions in parallel, making future migrations significantly smoother.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Study guide release schedule.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

Customer logo should be shown - SG-564

A change has been applied in previous sprint that has broken the display of the Logo. This has been fixed, and the customer logo is shown again.

Import jobs incorrectly marked as completed - SG-562

In case the import job to synchronize the data between Curriculum and Study guide failed, it sill showed it was successful. This has been fixed and in case the synchronisation fails, the correct message is shown.

The failure was caused by the faculty not having an externalId. For Study Guide the Faculty externalId is required and therefor for an installation having both Curriculum and Study Guide make sure there is a Faculty externalId in Curriculum.

Module-group descriptions should be shown respecting the configuration - SG-569

The study structure shows all module-group descriptions, but should respect the configuration:

• Default show the visible marked module-group description with the lowest sequence
• In case 'Show all' is set, show all the module-group descriptions when clicked the 'show all' button

This was not the case, and has been fixed to adhere to the above behaviour.

• Reserve Icon is removed from the product selector when signing in. This icon used to link to the same page as the Viewer icon, to Viewer entrances. Removing it reduces the amount of information users are presented with making the selection.This change is released to production.

• Going forward, the Reserve icon will be removed from the product selector dropdown menu in the top bar. Also, when you select Viewer, it will open in a new browser tab. This prevents situations where a user navigates to Viewer and then cannot return to the previous product.This change will be released gradually as our different products update the top bar in coming releases.

Timezone information is now always visible in reservation details and the account menu, and error pages will automatically reload every 5 minutes to better support unattended public displays.

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

Improvements

• Timezone is now always visible in Reservation details and in the Account menu in the top bar (including guest users) to make it clearer to users what timezone is being used.

• Viewer error pages now auto-reload every 5 minutes.
  • This is especially useful for public displays, which previously could require a manual refresh after an issue.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where editing multiple reservations could show “&object= is mandatory in URL”.
• Fixed an issue where Hide columns in My bookings did not work.
• Fixed an issue where hovering objects in search results could fail to show additional details.
• Fixed an issue where Info reservations could be included in the AutoCancel process (depending on page configuration), causing confirmation prompts for the person who added the info reservation.

Bugs

• Allocate Overview crash after large proposal jobs

  When applying large proposal jobs, a memory leak could cause the Allocate Overview tab to crash. This has now been fixed.

Available on Test for all regions on 10th of March and 17th of March on Production.

Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Groundwork for version support per offering - CUR-2673, CUR-2674, CUR-2672

The standard behaviour of Curriculum is the support of a version per academic year. E.g., a module is published once a year and during that year the module will be bound to that version. Changes could be made, but they would just overwrite the initial state.

This release the technical groundwork is done for support of multiple versions per year. A version will be bound to an offering, since this is the most logical publishable unit. This will support for instance publishing a version for a module for quarter 1 and a version for the same module for quarter 3.

The definition of changes allowed in a version and changes that require a new module are different per institution and are still applicable. This means that a version can also be a 'new' module. In case a module is offered in a program, the new module will substitute the 'old' one and a new program version is created based on the offering period.

The version support can not only be used for the regular programs following the standard academic year and its periods, but is also applicable to the more commercial oriented short programs or modules. In those cases an ad-hoc offering is used to support the distinct versions of a module between offerings.

For the next release the user experience will be adjusted to ease the creation of a version by a user. Then also the various new configuration options and the behaviour in year roll-over will be explained.

Educational tasks should support display per period or per offering - CUR-3441 (Hotfix)

The previous release a change has been made to support display of the Educational task per offering. With the intention to provide a more detailed overview per offering, e.g., location. This extended detail was not expected and desired by all customer. The original grouping per period was in some cases the desired visualisation.

To support both visualisation the task definition is extended with an option to define the used grouping method. The default behaviour will use the grouped per period, as it was prior to the previous release. The added configuration option can be used per task template to use the offering based display option.

Configuration:

• Open the administration -> educational tasks menu
• For the tasks that can be bound to offerings and the grouping is not desired set 'Separate offerings'

Predefined facilities should be visible on the activity-card - CUR-3412 (Hotfix)

The predefined facilities were no long shown (or at least the data) on the activity card. This has been fixed, so both the label and data are shown for the predefined facilities.

Activity series should not shown an error from other offerings - CUR-3420 (Hotfix)

The validation of data uses in activity series could cause an error not directly related to the offering being managed. This was due to an issue in the validation routine, and is fixed so errors are only shown in case there is an error in the activity-serie being managed.

As a user it should be possible to impersonate another user - CUR-3397 (Hotfix)

The user impersonation was broken and caused a 'server error' when selected. This has been fixed, so if you feel the need to impersonate this is possible again.

Various small usability / user interface issues - CUR-2706, CUR-3339, CUR-3256, CUR-3402, CUR-3424, CUR-3433

• When adding a period, after save the added period is directly shown in the period overview
• The effort template information for numeric values is correctly (right) aligned
• Deletion of a new item is possible without showing an error after a successful delete
• Various messages containing 'unexpected JSON' solved, so the information requested is shown again.
• Highlighting the applied changes to descriptions including formatting in history mode is corrected

A generated field using a formula should be saved - CUR-3401

A custom field using a formula to define the value in a offering context was not saved. This was caused by the formula in the UI was properly executed based on the information at hand, but at save the calculation is performed in the back-end and there the root of the offering information was not correctly set.

A change is made to the validation of the formula and the option to identify a field is bound to an offering. By prefixing the value with offering to specifically define the offering should be used, e.g. take(:(offering)periodId, 2) to use the first two characters of the period for the specific offering.

Roll-over per faculty should keep relations bound to other faculties - CUR-3423

In case a roll-over is performed per faculty, all programs and its related data living within that faculty are rolled over. In case a faculty is rolled over with for instance program relations to modules to another faculty those relations and modules are not copied over.

As a user I want to be able to define a offering period that is before the module start date - CUR-3256

In the previous release support for adding methods to a module where the offering period was starting prior to the module start date. This was only added for methods, and has now been added to the appraisal too.

Configuration:

• Open or create a page based on the appraisal page template
• Set the checkbox 'Ignore validation', to support users to proceed when validation fails.

Datetime parameter should be respected - CUR-3368

The configuration supports the definition of the date (time) format to be used when showing date information. It was noted that defined datetime format was not respected in all cases, especially when entering data the datetime was not adjusted to the configured setting. This has been fixed, and the configured datetime is respected in all cases.

Creating a calendar should not cause an error - CUR-3411

When creating a new calendar and not setting the external ID an error was thrown. Since the external ID is required in the database, the data entry page is modified to require the external ID. The user can now only create (save) a new calendar when all the required fields, including the external ID are set.

Data should not be duplicated on save - CUR-3436

It was found that when using a slow network the save button could be clicked multiple times during the save action. This could cause duplication of the data being saved. A change is applied that will disable the save button while the save is in progress. This will prevent the user to click the save multiple times and cause creation of duplicate data.

Improvements

Available on Test on Tuesday the 3rd of March and Production the 10th of March 2026

Support for Significantly Larger Jobs

The system now handles job sizes more than 10x larger than before, resulting in improved solution quality across most scenarios.

Improvements in our tests for larger, complex activities jobs shows:

• Successfully scheduled activities moved from around ~80% to ~90%, with majority of remaining activies impossible to schedule due to lack of required resources
• Solution rate for previsously failed activities, improved by ~2-10x compared to before

Faster Validation

Validation and optimization are now separated. This significantly reduces the time required to detect invalid input, instead of waiting for the full auto-scheduling process to complete.

Immediate validation is checking for:

• Missing data that is mandatory on the reservation template
• Objects are not existing anymore
• Mismatch between activity and reservation status

Improved Scheduling Quality

Autopilot now applies penalties to less preferred times of day. As a result, it actively avoids scheduling activities in early mornings and late afternoons/evenings when possible

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.  Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

‍

List and Table settings should be respected in search results - SG-555

The behaviour of the main tab showing the list of results can be configured to either use the list or table view. In case the list was defined as the default behaviour it started as table. This has been fixed, and the defined default behaviour is respected.

Next to that if a user toggles their view, the selected display behaviour is stored for the selected page, instead of global for all search result pages.

‍

How to handle Disclaimer, Privacy and other footer links - SG-557

We regularly get questions / remarks that the footer links navigate to the study guide landing page. This was the default behaviour in case no configuration of the desired URL was defined.

This has been changed, and now the footer links will no longer be shown if the URL configuration is set to - (minus).

The footer links are 'labels' and can be configured with the correct URL by the administrator.

• FOOTER.FOOTER.COOKIES.URL
• FOOTER.FOOTER.COPYRIGHT.URL
• FOOTER.FOOTER.DISCLAIMER.URL
• FOOTER.FOOTER.PRIVACY.URL

Expired groups and modules should not be shown - SG-553

Module groups and modules that were rolled over to the next year and after the roll over were given an end data that lies before the start of the year, were still shown in the study structure.

A fix is applied that validates on end data. If the end date of the module or module group is before the start date of the year the module or module-group will be excluded.

‍

The study guide should be configurable to be excluded from search engines  - SG-558

A configurable option is added to exclude the study guide from being indexed and searchable via search engines.

This will be done by setting a header on all the pages: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />

Configuration:

• Set the parameter analytics.disabled to true

‍

The Tab filter should support more complex options - SG-549

The Tab filters only supported simple filtering, e.g. type=BA or type in (BA,MA). The support for filters is extended with support for more complex filter options using and operators.

Configuration

The configuration is 'URL style' where the AND is replaced by an &, for example:

• faculty=FDR&type=BA&modeOfStudy=part-time
  Will select all part-time Bachelor studies of the FDR faculty

For direct linking the verb mainTab has been added and can be used in the URL:

• https://<myStudyGuideURL>/studies?mainTab=<myTab>&modeOfStudy=part-time&faculty=ART
  Will open the defined tab and show all part-time studies for the ART faculty

Improve UX compliancy for tooltips - SG-560

To improve readability the exclamation icon has been replaced by the question mark icon.

My evaluations should be available in the Hub - EV-406

As part of enhancing the student / user experience for TimeEdit customers a generic portal called Hub is developed. The Hub will eventually be the landing page for users of TimeEdit products, making the different functions per stakeholder in a central page. This will include student where access is provided to schedules, exams, exam rooms, etc. But also for invigilators that can define their availability, see there schedule.

The 'My evaluations' has been added as a selectable function (panel) to add to the Hub. It will provide an overview of all outstanding evaluations for the logged in user, e.g. a student, an external examiner.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is the automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. Fixes are prioritised based on impact: some may require an immediate hot-fix, while others are addressed in the current or next Sprint (release). For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

During this release no vulnerabilities were reported that needed mitigation.

Refer to the Evaluation manual for configuration guidance.

To help customers prepare for the upcoming SOAP namespace enforcement in Production on March 12, 2026, we are introducing stricter input validation in the test environment.

It will be applied in the test environment today, February 24, and included in the SOAP namespace update taking effect on March 12.

Why this update?

We received feedback that it has been difficult to validate whether SOAP integrations are correctly implemented. Previously, requests with incorrect namespaces or invalid input parameters could execute without clear errors.

What’s changing in test

Effective immediately in the test environment:

• Invalid namespaces will return validation errors.

• Missing or incorrect input parameters will fail explicitly.

• Requests must match the documented SOAP structure.

This makes it easier to verify that your integration is fully compliant before Production enforcement.

What you should do before March 12

• Review your SOAP implementation against our documentation examples.

• Test all SOAP calls in the test environment.

• Ensure requests both succeed and return the expected functional results.

If your integration passes validation in test, it will work correctly once enforcement begins in Production on March 12, 2026.

For questions, please contact support.timeedit.net.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

‍

Planned versus Actual

This new development is part of the Workload Management solution. In this case it is added to the Curriculum release notes to actively point out this new development to Curriculum users having both Curriculum and Workload Management.

‍

This release a first step is made to provide a tighter integration between the planned activities in Workload Management and the schedule activities in Core. This is part of enriching the AOP (Academic Operations Platform) vision in closing the gap between planned, scheduled an as a third layer actual information.

This will provide different options to improve insight to improve curricula and steer on changes between planned and scheduled. It also allows to use combination of planned (non-educational) and scheduled/delivered (educational) data for validation of the workload posed on staff. This again can be used for compensation or other actions to prevent over allocation.

The third pilar of actual hours is also implemented. This to support situations where scheduled is not a 100% correct representation of the actual hours. In those cases the 'authorised' user can define the actuals.

The basic idea is to open up and provide access to planned, scheduled and actual information. The functionality will be extended in the future. This first iteration is focussing on the fundamental ground work including the integration with Core, definition of the pillars planned, scheduled and actual, storing the data for the pillars and providing insight on module and person level.

‍

As a System I want to retrieve reservations from Core - CUR-2666

The first story covers the integration with Core and the retrieval of the reservations for the selected module in Curriculum. The new page template reservation-list is added to support the display of the retrieved reservations.

From a 'user' perspective this is not the most useful report, but just for validating the data retrieved the report is ideal. The relevant information used to match the data with the internal Curriculum data (staff member and activity-type) is shown, including the data to filter (select only the last 2 weeks or last month) and the values for calculation (duration) are shown.

As a user I want to see the scheduled activities for a single module - CUR-2665

From a module perspective, the first story is to get both the planned and scheduled activities in one overview.  This overview includes both educational tasks (activities) and non-educational tasks. Based on the selected period the information will be shown.

For the non-educational tasks the hours will be calculated based on the default spread for the selected period. This means in case a module coordinator has 110 hours for a full semester (22 weeks), the hours for a 2 week period are 10 hours.

For the educational tasks (activities) the scheduling based hours are the nett hours, e.g. the duration of the activity. Based on the defined calculation rule for the activity type the calculation of the gross hours will be performed. E.g., an activity of type workgroup with a duration of 120 minutes could be 210 minutes, based on the rule: workgroup hours = 1.5 * duration + 30 minutes preparation.

‍

The calculation can only be done correctly in case the formula is based on the activity hours.

‍

The image below provides an overview of the activities per module, using the worklog page-template. This is the same end result as the report defined under the last story in this section, the report providing a full insight on planned versus scheduled versus actual. In a next iteration the screen will be made configurable to only show the 'desired' information.

‍

As a user I want to see my personal planned and scheduled activities - CUR-2667

This story is similar to the story mentioned above, and uses the same worklog page-template. In this case the information is not shown from the module perspective, but from the users personal overview. This overview includes both educational tasks (activities) and non-educational tasks. Based on the selected period the information will be shown, including the above mentioned calculation method.

As a user I want to define my actual hours, and get them approved by my manager - CUR-3303

Based on the fact that there are cases where the scheduling result is not 100% representing the actual hours for a single user, an additional option is added. This option allows the user to see the personal overview of planned and scheduled, and fill-out an additional column with the actual values.

As said this is not required / desired in all cases, since if scheduling is 100% representing the scheduled is equal to the actual hours. But in cases where the fit is not 100% this allows for defining the actuals.

The definition is steered using the standard processes and workflows, allowing the user to see the planned and scheduled results and define the actuals. The next stakeholder in the process (e.g. HR manager) will validate and approve the changes.

The screenshot below shows the final report of the manager providing an overview of the users, activities and their planned, scheduled and actual result. Hover over the planned or scheduled hours will show the calculation rule used to transform the nett duration of the activity to the actual workload.

An indicator shows if the actual hours have been approved.

As a user I want to have an overview of planned versus actual hours - CUR-2667

As a user I want to get insight in the scheduled versus actual hours for a single module.  The implementation got a little out of hand, so the report providing the insight can be used at different levels, e.g. study, module-group and module, and is using the hour-report page-template.

The example below shows the overview from a study perspective. In this case the information of one module is shown. In case the report is used at module level, the view is the same, and only reduced to the selected module.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Admin pages look & feel improved & usability improved - CUR-3289

The administrator interface has had a major overhaul. We will not bother you with the list of changes applied, but just show the end result in three pictures.

The admin interface will first open in the traditional way, showing all the options on a single page. Once selected the first admin function the screen will change as shown in the next picture.

• The Admin function will be clearly displayed, including a brief explanation of the function
• A left side menu bar will appear, using the icons used on the  main page too.
• At the bottom a new icon appears that supports the unfolding of the side-bar menu.

Once selecting a menu-group  option in the left side-bar, the sub menu items appear. Just select the desired sub menu to quickly navigate to another admin function.

The unfold icon on the left bottom can be used to expand the side-bar and show the menu-group names instead of the icons.

Some visualisation issues and bugs addressed  - CUR-3323, CUR-3326, CUR-3300, CUR-3325, CUR-3313, CUR-3312, CUR-3297, CUR-3304 (Hotfix)

Along with the above change in appearance some issues introduced in the move of the administration pages to the new look and feel and technology stack have been addressed. Since they were annoying and sometimes considered blocking these have already been hotfixed:

• The admin page should not require two clicks to open
• The breadcrumbs should be shown correctly and be accessible
• The person and tab configuration filter should filter (correctly)
• The configuration menu should not freeze the screen
• The period ribbon configuration should show the root type
• The calendar save should save the (changed) data
• Multi-value fields should be displayed correctly

‍

The year switcher should follow the year of the selected task  - CUR-3320 (Hotfix)

In case a task on the dashboard is selected that is not in the currently selected academic year, the year switcher at the top should follow the year of the task. This was technically the case, but the display of the  year switcher didn't change along. This has been fixed and the year switcher will follow the task and display the correct year.

‍

As an administrator I want to define a label with a  placeholder  - CUR-3239

The edit option for labels with a placeholder was broken. When opening such a label, the 'edit' field was shown empty. Only by fully retyping the new label including the placeholder, the text could be changed. This has been fixed, so the active placeholder will be displayed in the 'edit' field and can be changed and saved.

‍

As an administrator I want configure Welsh  as UI language - CUR-3352

A  new language pack has been installed. Welsh is from this release an officially supported user interface language in Curriculum.

‍

Supported module types in a module-groups should be respected - CUR-3359

The group type configuration can be used to define the supported module types for that module group, including their status (new, existing, new and existing, none). A mix up was made that caused the configuration of existing only to show new, and vice-versa. This has been fixed, and the configuration is respected again.

‍

As a user I should NOT be forced to type a code for an ad-hoc period- CUR-3280

When using ad-hoc offerings, the user is requested to type a code and the start and end date. For an ordinary user it makes no sense to come up with a code, that even has to be unique. The system didn't support any option to automate the generation of a unique code, which is a common practice for all other objects.

A change is applied to supports the configuration of a 'rule' to automatically generate a unique (period) code when using ad-hoc periods.

Configuration:

• Create a page using the offerings template to support ad-hoc offerings
• Set the checkbox 'Adhoc'
• Define the 'Adhoc period formula' that will auto-generate the code
• Set the 'Adhoc period read only' checkbox to disable the option to edit the code

‍

Filter option in activity-list should support empty week - CUR-2567

The activity list filter could cause situation where previous filters were remembered even after clearing the filter fields. This has been fixed, and clearing the field will also clear the filter.

‍

The overall person availability hours should match the sum of hours per month - CUR-2507

The personal overview of a person shows an overview for the person, including the allocated hours. The detail part shows the division of the allocated hours over the different months.

It was noted that the values shown in the monthly view didn't add up to the shown total in the general part. The cause has been identified and the mis-match is solved by using 6 decimals instead of 2 in the calculation.

‍

As a user I want multiple offerings to be calculated consistent - CUR-2654

In case an educational task, e.g. module leader, is assigned to a module that has two offering periods and per offering 2 offerings (e.g. in different locations), the educational task was calculation for the two periods.

This has been adjusted and the calculation of the hours will be based on the (4) offerings, to provide a more consistent and understandable calculation.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

API documentation extended with the related endpoint - CUR-2519

The API documentation on https://developer.timeedit.com/ is extended with information on the usage of the Related endpoint. The related endpoint provides an overview of all related objects, e.g. all related studies for a module (and not only the parent).

‍

API documentation Broker added - CUR-3204

The API documentation of the Broker is added and a new administrator guide to provide more context of the Broker is added to the academy.

‍

API import of persons should support FTE - CUR-3299

The API person service can be used to define a person assignment and the related FTE, however it seemed the FTE update has been broken. This has been fixed and the FTE can again be set for the default year.

‍

The Curriculum -> Data Manager integration configuration should support more characters - CUR-3310

When the configuration definition for a Curriculum to Data Manager mapping of activities exceeded a specific length, an error was thrown. This was not caused by the limit of the configuration field, but by the administrator audit trail. A fix is applied to solve this issue and allow for extensive configuration definitions.

‍

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

Results mitigation from the security assessment

The regular security assessment has been executed and this time two minor issues has been reported. Both  are immediately picked up and mitigated in this version.

• Image upload via the HTML editor should be restricted
• The HTML editor should not support images not hosted by Curriculum

‍

Refer to the Workload Management manual for configuration guidance.

Some visualisation issues and bugs addressed  - CUR-3323, CUR-3326, CUR-3300, CUR-3325, CUR-3313, CUR-3312, CUR-3297, CUR-3304 (Hotfix)

Along with the above change in appearance some issues introduced in the move of the administration pages to the new look and feel and technology stack have been addressed. Since they were annoying and sometimes considered blocking these have already been hotfixed:

• The admin page should not require two clicks to open
• The breadcrumbs should be shown correctly and be accessible
• The person and tab configuration filter should filter (correctly)
• The configuration menu should not freeze the screen
• The period ribbon configuration should show the root type
• The calendar save should save the (changed) data
• Multi-value fields should be displayed correctly

‍

The year switcher should follow the year of the selected task  - CUR-3320 (Hotfix)

In case a task on the dashboard is selected that is not in the currently selected academic year, the year switcher at the top should follow the year of the task. This was technically the case, but the display of the  year switcher didn't change along. This has been fixed and the year switcher will follow the task and display the correct year.

‍

As an administrator I want to define a label with a  placeholder  - CUR-3239

The edit option for labels with a placeholder was broken. When opening such a label, the 'edit' field was shown empty. Only by fully retyping the new label including the placeholder, the text could be changed. This has been fixed, so the active placeholder will be displayed in the 'edit' field and can be changed and saved.

‍

As an administrator I want configure Welsh  as UI language - CUR-3352

A  new language pack has been installed. Welsh is from this release an officially supported user interface language in Curriculum.

‍

The change log should show values instead of numbers (IDs) - CUR-3338

The change log (history) displays all the changes applied to the curriculum data. The information provides details that show the 'old' and 'new' data. It was found that on assessments level the information for selectable fields was not shown, instead the internal ID was shown. This has been fixed.

‍

Supported module types in a module-groups should be respected - CUR-3359

The group type configuration can be used to define the supported module types for that module group, including their status (new, existing, new and existing, none). A mix up was made that caused the configuration of existing only to show new, and vice-versa. This has been fixed, and the configuration is respected again.

‍

As a user I should NOT be forced to type a code for an ad-hoc period- CUR-3280

When using ad-hoc offerings, the user is requested to type a code and the start and end date. For an ordinary user it makes no sense to come up with a code, that even has to be unique. The system didn't support any option to automate the generation of a unique code, which is a common practice for all other objects.

A change is applied to supports the configuration of a 'rule' to automatically generate a unique (period) code when using ad-hoc periods.

Configuration:

• Create a page using the offerings template to support ad-hoc offerings
• Set the checkbox 'Adhoc'
• Define the 'Adhoc period formula' that will auto-generate the code
• Set the 'Adhoc period read only' checkbox to disable the option to edit the code

As a user I want to be able to define a offering period that is before the module start date  - CUR-3256

A request was made to support adding methods to a module in the cased where the assignment of offering periods was starting prior to the module start date. This is a rare case, and could cause down-stream data issues. The process configuration was set-up in such a way that these errors were fixed in a later stage, e.g. by fixing the module start date. And the person assigning the method was not allowed to change the module start date.

To support this situation a additional configuration option has been added to the method-tree template. This option allows to configure the behaviour of the error. Should the error be blocking and prevent from saving the data, or should the error be considered a warning and allow saving the data.

Configuration:

• Open or create a page based on the method-tree page template
• Set the checkbox 'Ignore validation', to support users to proceed when validation fails.

‍

Filter option in activity-list should support empty week - CUR-2567

The activity list filter could cause situation where previous filters were remembered even after clearing the filter fields. This has been fixed, and clearing the field will also clear the filter.

‍

The overall person availability hours should match the sum of hours per month - CUR-2507

The personal overview of a person shows an overview for the person, including the allocated hours. The detail part shows the division of the allocated hours over the different months.

It was noted that the values shown in the monthly view didn't add up to the shown total in the general part. The cause has been identified and the mis-match is solved by using 6 decimals instead of 2 in the calculation.

‍

As a user I want multiple offerings to be calculated consistent - CUR-2654

In case an educational task, e.g. module leader, is assigned to a module that has two offering periods and per offering 2 offerings (e.g. in different locations), the educational task was calculation for the two periods.

This has been adjusted and the calculation of the hours will be based on the (4) offerings, to provide a more consistent and understandable calculation.

‍

Planned versus Actual

This new development is part of the Workload Management solution. In this case it is added to the Curriculum release notes to actively point out this new development to Curriculum users having both Curriculum and Workload Management.

‍

This release a first step is made to provide a tighter integration between the planned activities in Workload Management and the schedule activities in Core. This is part of enriching the AOP (Academic Operations Platform) vision in closing the gap between planned, scheduled an as a third layer actual information.

This will provide different options to improve insight to improve curricula and steer on changes between planned and scheduled. It also allows to use combination of planned (non-educational) and scheduled/delivered (educational) data for validation of the workload posed on staff. This again can be used for compensation or other actions to prevent over allocation.

The third pilar of actual hours is also implemented. This to support situations where scheduled is not a 100% correct representation of the actual hours. In those cases the 'authorised' user can define the actuals.

The basic idea is to open up and provide access to planned, scheduled and actual information. The functionality will be extended in the future. This first iteration is focussing on the fundamental ground work including the integration with Core, definition of the pillars planned, scheduled and actual, storing the data for the pillars and providing insight on module and person level.

‍

As a System I want to retrieve reservations from Core - CUR-2666

The first story covers the integration with Core and the retrieval of the reservations for the selected module in Curriculum. The new page template reservation-list is added to support the display of the retrieved reservations.

From a 'user' perspective this is not the most useful report, but just for validating the data retrieved the report is ideal. The relevant information used to match the data with the internal Curriculum data (staff member and activity-type) is shown, including the data to filter (select only the last 2 weeks or last month) and the values for calculation (duration) are shown.

As a user I want to see the scheduled activities for a single module - CUR-2665

From a module perspective, the first story is to get both the planned and scheduled activities in one overview.  This overview includes both educational tasks (activities) and non-educational tasks. Based on the selected period the information will be shown.

For the non-educational tasks the hours will be calculated based on the default spread for the selected period. This means in case a module coordinator has 110 hours for a full semester (22 weeks), the hours for a 2 week period are 10 hours.

For the educational tasks (activities) the scheduling based hours are the nett hours, e.g. the duration of the activity. Based on the defined calculation rule for the activity type the calculation of the gross hours will be performed. E.g., an activity of type workgroup with a duration of 120 minutes could be 210 minutes, based on the rule: workgroup hours = 1.5 * duration + 30 minutes preparation.

‍

The calculation can only be done correctly in case the formula is based on the activity hours.

‍

The image below provides an overview of the activities per module, using the worklog page-template. This is the same end result as the report defined under the last story in this section, the report providing a full insight on planned versus scheduled versus actual. In a next iteration the screen will be made configurable to only show the 'desired' information.

‍

As a user I want to see my personal planned and scheduled activities - CUR-2667

This story is similar to the story mentioned above, and uses the same worklog page-template. In this case the information is not shown from the module perspective, but from the users personal overview. This overview includes both educational tasks (activities) and non-educational tasks. Based on the selected period the information will be shown, including the above mentioned calculation method.

As a user I want to define my actual hours, and get them approved by my manager - CUR-3303

Based on the fact that there are cases where the scheduling result is not 100% representing the actual hours for a single user, an additional option is added. This option allows the user to see the personal overview of planned and scheduled, and fill-out an additional column with the actual values.

As said this is not required / desired in all cases, since if scheduling is 100% representing the scheduled is equal to the actual hours. But in cases where the fit is not 100% this allows for defining the actuals.

The definition is steered using the standard processes and workflows, allowing the user to see the planned and scheduled results and define the actuals. The next stakeholder in the process (e.g. HR manager) will validate and approve the changes.

The screenshot below shows the final report of the manager providing an overview of the users, activities and their planned, scheduled and actual result. Hover over the planned or scheduled hours will show the calculation rule used to transform the nett duration of the activity to the actual workload.

An indicator shows if the actual hours have been approved.

As a user I want to have an overview of planned versus actual hours - CUR-2667

As a user I want to get insight in the scheduled versus actual hours for a single module.  The implementation got a little out of hand, so the report providing the insight can be used at different levels, e.g. study, module-group and module, and is using the hour-report page-template.

The example below shows the overview from a study perspective. In this case the information of one module is shown. In case the report is used at module level, the view is the same, and only reduced to the selected module.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

API documentation extended with the related endpoint - CUR-2519

The API documentation on https://developer.timeedit.com/ is extended with information on the usage of the Related endpoint. The related endpoint provides an overview of all related objects, e.g. all related studies for a module (and not only the parent).

‍

API documentation Broker added - CUR-3204

The API documentation of the Broker is added and a new administrator guide to provide more context of the Broker is added to the academy.

‍

API import of persons should support FTE - CUR-3299

The API person service can be used to define a person assignment and the related FTE, however it seemed the FTE update has been broken. This has been fixed and the FTE can again be set for the default year.

‍

The Curriculum -> Data Manager integration configuration should support more characters - CUR-3310

When the configuration definition for a Curriculum to Data Manager mapping of activities exceeded a specific length, an error was thrown. This was not caused by the limit of the configuration field, but by the administrator audit trail. A fix is applied to solve this issue and allow for extensive configuration definitions.

‍

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

‍

Results mitigation from the security assessment

The regular security assessment has been executed and this time two minor issues has been reported. Both  are immediately picked up and mitigated in this version.

• Image upload via the HTML editor should be restricted
• The HTML editor should not support images not hosted by Curriculum

‍

‍

‍

Refer to the Curriculum manual for configuration guidance.

This release includes a cleanup of legacy sign-in functionality and minor improvements.

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

Improvement

Bugfix

• Graphical view: Collection of grouped reservations could in some cases appear duplicated. This has been fixed.

We are releasing an update to how SOAP requests to the TimeEdit SOAP API are handled in Production to improve reliability and alignment with documented standards.

This update has been available in the test environment since December and will be enforced in Production starting March 12, 2026.

This update aligns request handling with our documented SOAP structure.

The most important requirement is that requests correctly use the documented XML namespaces (the prefix before the colon in example code, e.g., tns:). This is the main difference compared to some older implementations.

Requests that do not follow the documented structure may still be accepted but may not behave as intended or return expected results. Because strict validation is not performed on our side, it is important to functionally verify integrations in the test environment.

Action if applicable

• Compare your implementation with the SOAP examples in our documentation
• Ensure namespaces and structure match the documented examples
• Verify in the test environment that requests produce the expected functional results, not only that they execute without errors
• If it works correctly in the test environment, it will work in Production after the release

For any questions, please reach out via support.timeedit.net.

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Study guide release schedule.

‍

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.

‍

Optimize batched import (synchronisation) - SG-546, SG-547, SG-552

A number of changes had been applied to the batch import option that is used for ad-hoc or nightly synchronisation of Curriculum data to the Study guide. The execution and management of the synchronisation has been moved to a dedicated server. This eases the management and reporting on the synchronisations executed. A centralised dashboard provides insight in all executed synchronisations including failures that occurred. Another positive side-effect is that the synchronisation itself is reduced in execution time.

For scheduled synchronisation jobs no effect (except the mentioned benefits) are visible for the administrator. For ad-hoc synchronisations the job will handed over to the general server and the report line stating the synchronisation is started will only appear after the general server has started the job. This means that after starting it can take between 10 - 60 seconds for the report line to appear.

Security

An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated. ‍

For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.

During this release no vulnerabilities were reported that require mitigation.

‍

Today, the new Top Bar in Core is released to Production.

Activity Manager has also received a visual update, which has been available in the Test environments since early December. This update brings AM more in line visually with our other products. There is no functional change, just a new cleaner look.

For any questions regarding the Top Bar in Core, please reach out through support.timeedit.net

Note: Users in the ANZ region will see this change a day later due to the fact that Core will reload when it is released.

• Personalised timezones in Allocate and Registration

  Users can now view times in their preferred timezone. This makes it easier to work across locations and reduces confusion when the organisation’s default timezone differs from the user’s.

• Exception (Registration period times)

  In Allocate Overview, registration period times are stored and shown in the organisation’s default timezone.

  In Registration and Manage student, the registration period is shown in the user’s timezone.

The following is released to the Test environment and will reach Production next week. (Some of these have already been released to Production)

Improvements

• When adding multiple objects of the same type by clicking and holding down the modifier (ctrl/cmd), if the selected object in the selection list is a request object, the object will remain selected. Previously, and in other situations, the most recently added object will be selected. This behaviour makes it quicker to select multiple objects related to the same request object

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue where using the back button in the selection list could cause reservations to be created in a draft despite the calendar no longer being in draft mode
• Resolved an issue where calendars would not adjust in whole weeks when going to today’s date (In Production)
• Resolved an issue where  showing overlapping reservations in the calendar would only display the first reservation (In Production)

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Curriculum/Workload Management release schedule.

Competence management and applications

The first version a new functionality is released that allows management of user competences using processes and workflows for entry, amendment and validation. Reporting is made available to provide an overview on users and their competences, including deadlines nearing or being passed for certified competences with end dates.

Furthermore a function is added for internal system users to apply for a role at an educational object, using their competences as proof. The application is designed and developed generic, based on the requested use case to support the application for a role as lecturer to a module for internal users. The application is supported by a configurable process and workflows to enable the application and the 'hire'.

Remark: Since this is a first release that requires additional internal testing by TimeEdit and the generation of user documentation the releases options should in this release be considered as a first iteration to test and validate. Any feedback is more than welcome.

‍

The stories below have been built to support the functionality:

As an administrator I must be able to manage the set of qualifications (competences) options - CUR-2632

The first step in supporting the above mentioned functions is the ability to define and manage qualifications (competences) by the administrator. Users will use these to select and define the required 'personal' information regarding the selected competence.

Competences can be grouped using a type, allowing improved management for the admin and filter options for users. The required competence fields are configured by the administrator, and may for instance have the following configuration:

• Code: unique identifier of the competence (required)
• Name: name of the competence (required)
• Type: the grouping mechanism to allow for filtering
• License: indicator if the users requires a license (certificate, ...) as proof for the competence
• Start date: in case of a license, the start date can be provided
• End date: in case of a license that expires, the end date should be provided

The above configuration is based on the usage of the Element Competence. This element can be configured and extended with additional fields, e.g. license.

‍

As a user I must be able to manage my own competences - CUR-2635

The user should be able to define and maintain their own competences. This story is designed and defined in such a way the page developed supports the following options:

• User can view own competences, default behaviour
• User can manage (add, edit) own competences, requires authorisation EDIT_COMPETENCE or EDIT_COMPETENCE_WORKFLOW
• Manager (authorised role) can view user competences, requires authorisation VIEW_COMPETENCE
• Manager can manage (add, edit) user competences, requires authorisation EDIT_COMPETENCE or EDIT_COMPETENCE_WORKFLOW

The data to be entered by the user is based on the configuration of the competence and includes the option to add a document as proof for the license.

As a authorised user (manager) I must be able to validate and approve (self-managed) competences - CUR-2637

In case a user manages the own competences, a added or change competence requires validation. In this first iteration the approval is steered from the above shown report. The manager can filter on competences that are awaiting approval and 'approve' or 'reject' the competence.

As a user I should be able to apply for an educational object, e.g. Module - CUR-2639

The application can be configured using the standard configuration options for processes and workflows. The first step in the process is the support for a user to apply for an educational object, e.g. Module.

The application will provide the following information:

• Specify the desired module (standard search box: code, name)
• Select the role (lecturer, examiner, ...)
• Specify the competence(s) that are relevant for the application, from the own list of competences.
• Specify additional information to will clear the why and help the management decision

The user will have an overview of the applications.

As an authorised used (e.g. manager) I should be able to manage a single application - CUR-2640

Based on the process mentioned above, when the staff members has filled in the application it will be sent to the next stakeholder.
The next stakeholder (manager) will get the task to approve the request.

The approval flow provides the information provided by the staff member to assist in the decision making and either approve or disapprove the request.

Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as Hotfix have been developed during this Sprint release, but are hotfixed and technically added to the previous release or direct to production based on the impact of the issue.

‍

Using a formula hook to update specification fields should work  - CUR-2703 (Hotfix)

The formula hook can be used for bulk change of information, e.g. codes, based on a formula. Then applying this hook with a formula including the academic year on a specification, this fails. This has been fixed by enabling the usage of the academic year in code generation for specifications.

Configuration should be respected - CUR-3278, CUR-3259, CUR-3264, CUR-2606

In this release some issued with fields not respecting the configured behaviour have been fixed:

• Activity type should not be editable, in case it is defined as read-only
• Duration marked as required, should behave as required (and not optional)
• Reference and Element fields in select options should show both code and name when configured

The end date of reference type should be respected and only show reference values that are still active

‍

Reporting should support 'separate' fields to be selected - CUR-2282

The reporting offers the option to select for instance the modules offered by a program. The module in the report was shown as a combination of the module code and the module name (one column). In case only the module code was needed, in Excel a macro should be defined to separate both values.

To improve the usability, separate values are made available for code, externalId and name.

‍

Correctable should be honoured when configured - CUR-3277 (Hotfix)

A task configured to be correctable should follow to configured calculation rule and allow the user to correct the calculated value. The option to correct the calculated value was not shown. This has been fixed, to enable correcting calculated values based on the configuration setting.

Delete button should be available on activity-grid, list and card (acceptance only) - CUR-3274 (Hotfix)

In the previous release a bug was found where the delete button was only shown in case the activity-grid was empty. As soon there was data, the delete button was no longer available. This has been hotfixed prior to the release to production.

‍

The behaviour of availability-preferences should be improved - CUR-3273

In case a user is requested to enter their availability preferences, the default configuration (everything set to available) or their last saved preferences are shown. In case the users navigates away (e.g. next button in workflow), the data is not saved since no 'changes' were made. And thus the preferences from last year were not saved to this year.

A fix is applied to improve / correct the behaviour:

• If the preference data is never changed in the context of the requested period, it will be marked as 'new' and when preceding in the workflow it will be saved.
• If the preference data is already saved and no changes were made the user can continue the workflow, and no data will be saved.

‍

Team members should not receive tasks when they have been end dated - CUR-3260

Team members no longer member of a team based on a set end-date were still getting tasks assigned in a new year. This has been fixed, and the end-date of the team membership assignment will be respected.

‍

General page behaviour should be more consistent and show correct data - CUR-2596,  CUR-3258, CUR-2603, CUR-3238

Some issues were reported concerning the general page not being consistent and label and corresponding value data not showing correctly. Some fixes are applied to the general page to solve these issues:

• Only show fields that are configured to be shown on the page
• Use the labels of the fields, instead of 'fixed' labels
• Show the label and its value next to each other
• Respect 'visible' condition settings
• Support display of team email address in case roles are assigned a team

Administrator configuration:

Since fields are no longer 'automagically' shown on the general page, but only based on configuration the configuration for fields to be shown should have the checkbox 'Display on general' set.

‍

Fields with formulas should work on form pages - CUR-3253 (Hotfix)

In case a field with a formula on a form page was changed, the data was not save. When changing the same field on the standard 'additional' page the data was saved. The cause was found and has been hotfixed, and fields can be changed when used on additional and form pages.

‍

Long (reference) text should be fully readable in read-only mode - CUR-3255

Long texts, considered to be displayed on a single line, where cut-off when showing in read-only mode. In fact it also happens when not in read-only mode, but then the text was fully accessible moving the cursor.

A fix is applied where single line texts and reference list values exceeding the page size are cut-off, but will have a mouse-over option that will fully expand the text. This is not only applied on read-only values, but also for select boxes with values that exceed the select box width.

‍

As a user I want to define a note - CUR-3247, CUR-2937

In case a user selected the option to create a  note, e.g. add a note for a specific assignment, the screen freezed. Only after refresh the user could continue without having the option to specify the note. This has been fixed, and it is again possible to create notes.

‍

Fix usability issues - CUR-3242, CUR-3231

Two small, but annoying usability issues introduced in the previous release, are fixed:

• Improve contrast in select boxes where the highlight and text color were (almost) the same
• Prevent admin pages to require two clicks to open the page

‍

The schedule weeks on teacher page should respect the configuration - CUR-2523

When creating activities, the schedule weeks are displayed according to the configuration settings in both the activity-grid and list. However, on the page of type 'teacher' the week number shown is always the academic year week number. In case for instance the schedule week is configured, a difference occurred in the display on the activity-grid/list and the teacher assign page.  This has been fixed, and all week numbers shown will follow the generic configured week-display configuration.

‍

Integration

The issues mentioned under the section integration are considered as extension, improvements or bug fixes related to the WLM/Curriculum API, OOAPI and/or CSV import functionality.

‍

API documentation should show the correct response page - CUR-3281

It was noted the API documentation didn't show the correct response page (message format) in all cases. This has been fixed.

‍

API users should be informed when open changes are reapplied to their import - CUR-3261

The standard behaviour using the API so update information in WLM is that the API will not overwrite / override any pending manual applied changes. This behaviour was implemented silently, sometimes raising questions why updates via the API were not processed.

To improve a better understanding of the above use case, the logging is extended with an information message informing the object is 'updated', but not all fields due to pending manual changes. This helps in not being puzzled why it seems the API doesn't work, but understand it works, but the result is different due to the pending change.

‍

API calendar service extended  - CUR-2944
