Updates for Administration

1, Simplify time component for Marks to BANNER setting

Marks are only communicated to BANNER once per day at 19:00 however the marks to BANNER setting on the Marking Details tab allows co-ordinators to choose any time of the day. We have changed the drop down list to only allow the co-ordinators to select 18:00 and have added text to explain the setting better.

The following image shows the drop down now only allows you to select 18:00, the databases sync at 19:00 each day.

2, “Select Assignment for default values” list ordered alphabetically

When using “Banner Assignment Checkin” the “Select Assignment for default values” drop-down list has now been ordered alphabetically.

This is for when you select your templates. Some lists were getting a bit untidy so we hope that ordering them alphabetically will help. 

3, Increased size of usable window

The amount of items that appear on the assignments list page has been increased from 25 to 30.
The viewable vertical space has been increased on all screens.
Vertical and horizontal scrollbars are now available when items are off-screen.

4, Suppress feedback file access to students

A tick box has been added to the Marking Details tab that allows co-ordinators to hide feedback files from the student’s views.

You are already able to hide the feedback from the marking form, now you are able to hide any feedback files that have been uploaded to a submission. This is a toggle, so at any point you wish to hide or show the files you just need to add or remove the tick. A tick WILL hide the feedback files. 

5, Suppress Overall Marks access to students

A tick box has been added to the Marking Details tab that allows co-ordinators to hide the overall Mark from the student’s view.

This will be helpful if you wish to hold a formative assessment that is not to be graded but feedback is desirable. When the marks release date has passed students will see the word “Ready” instead of a mark.

6, Include Feedback files in “Download Selected Files” operation

Now when a co-ordinator chooses “Download Selected Files” from the submissions tab any feedback files will be included in the zipped file that is downloaded.

7, Added filters

Some columns in the administration view did not have the filtering ability, we have added filtering where appropriate.

8, Added ‘Group’ column to Marking tab

The Group column as seen on the submissions tab has been added to the Marking tab.

9, Better warnings about using multiple tabs

When a co-ordinator opens eAssignments in more than one tab a warning is shown to remind them of the issues that this can cause.

It is rare, but if errors occur because someone has used eAssignments in more than one tab the problems caused can be very hard to untangle.
