Previously, if a supervisor had accepted an invitation and later received another one but did not respond before the expiration date, their invitation record would be removed from the display. This resulted in an empty slot in the supervisor list, even though the previous invitation had been accepted.
With this update, if a supervisor’s previous status was Accepted, and their current status is either Pending or Expired, the system will retain and display the Accepted status as a reference. This ensures that the historical acceptance remains visible, providing context even if the latest invitation is not responded to.
The override behavior will now be consistent across various parts of the application, including the supervisor list, room booking detail page, scheduling page, and personal invigilator dashboard.
This improvement ensures that relevant information is preserved without overwriting the most recent status, allowing users to see both the prior approval and the current request status.
Configuration
To enable this feature, a new toggle has been added in the Exam Settings page under the Other Customizations tab, labeled:“Show previous accepted status if the current booking is pending and overdue.”
If the toggle is off, the invitation behavior remains unchanged.
If the toggle is on, an expired Pending invitation will be overridden by the previously Accepted invitation, if one exists.
