Improvements

The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes.

‍

Changing year should not give an error message if module code has changed - SG-433

Modules shown in the study guide in an 'older year' showed all years in the year switcher to allow switching to the module in another year. In case the module (code) was not present in the new / other year an error was thrown. The year switcher has been updated and will only show the valid years, meaning the years the module (code) is available.

As a Study guide user I want to see the module group credits - SG-434

The structure overview of the study is extended with module-group credit information.

The information shown is constructed as a <value> <label>, e.g. 30 credits or 30 ECTS

• Value: module-group -> credits -> optimum
• Label: TRANSLATIONS.CREDITS

‍

As a Study guide user I only want to see the 'Information' label in the structure tree if there is info - SG-436

The structure tree showed underneath each module group the title of the module group description defined as the 'in structure used description / explanation'. The title was shown underneath each module group, even if there was no information.

To improve readability of the structure tree the title will only be shown if there is actual data to be shown. If there is no text available, the title will not be shown.

The subject matrix should show multiple levels if defined - SG-446

In Curriculum a change has been applied to support the definition of multiple levels for a module and a related subject (learning outcome). In case a multi-level relation was defined, this caused the study guide to show no relation at all. Basically since the subject matrix was not yet 'multi-value' ready.

This has been fixed, so if there are multiple levels defined they ar shown properly.

In a next sprint an addition will be made to enable usage of the 'icons' that represent the level-value in the visualisation, instead of the 'L', 'F' values.

‍

The teachers should be shown underneath each-other and not next to each-other- SG-445

A bug was introduced showing the teachers in the information widget. The teachers were no longer shown underneath each other (in a readable way), but show next to each-other. This lead to unreadable values in case multiple teachers were assigned. This has been fixed, so the teachers are now shown again underneath each-other in a readable format.

‍

As an authorised user I want to validate a new published year prior to opening it for students and staff - SG-438

A new standard behaviour is added in case a new year is defined and imported. A new year, in fact all active years defined, will be available for the administrator. This allows for validation of a new year by the administrator prior to open it for the users.

The configuration options used are:

• The year configuration attribute 'active'
  This attribute is used to define which configured years are actively synchronised and potentially available for users. e.g. 2023, 2024, 2025
• The system setting 'visible years'
  This setting which years are available for users, e.g. 2023, 2024

When using filtered Tabs there should be no switching to another tab - SG-450

In case filtering was used for tabs, using multi-value filters (e.g. type=Bachelor,Master,Associate-Degree and type=Minor) when selecting program of a specific type, the tab could be switched to another tab.

It took some detailed investigation determining the exact behaviour and from there define a proper solution to select the right Tab. This has been fixed, so the right tab is selected.

As a side-effect there was also created a performance improvement and in case the 'tab filter' was also shown as a selectable filter option at the search page, the non-configured values in the 'tab-filter' are removed. So in the above example this means that on the Minor tab, only the value Minor is shown and the Ba, Ma and Ad are filtered.

‍

Year filter should be shown on all tabs - SG-456

The year filter should always be accessible. It was noted that the switcher was not shown on the main tabs anymore.
This has been fixed, so switching between years is again always available.

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes 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.

‍

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.

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