“Edit Recommendation” bug

Cai Willis

When editing a recommendation, the UI wouldn’t render properly and the buttons on the page became inoperable. This happened when there were no comments attached to a particular recommendation

Extra functionality was added to account for this situation

Datepicker format quick fix

Cai Willis

When using the text input of the datepicker, it enforces a US date format despite our localization settings. We have implemented a short-term fix, disabling the text input and making the datepicker icon more obvious, and created a ticket for the long term fix (which is unfortunately fairly involved)

Recommendation submission was not working due to incorrect RO details

Academic Outcome not displayed for some trainee’s assessments

Andy Dingley

If a trainee had multiple academic curriculum the academic outcome field would be displayed as blank if any of the curriculum start/end dates did not overlap with the programme start/end dates.

The logic has been corrected so the academic outcome is displayed correct if any curriculum overlap, rather than required that all curriculum overlapped.


ESR

Improved resilience of ESR message processing

Marcello Fabbri (Unlicensed) Reuben Roberts

Previously, if the central TCS system was down, or otherwise unavailable for a period of time, any ESR messages received during that period could fail to be processed. These would then have to be reviewed and reprocessed manually.

We have now improved the ability of the ESR components to handle TCS being unavailable, by automatically retrying these messages, so they are processed when TCS recovers (as shown in red in the image below).

Following on from a TISSS call (2021-08-17) where it was confirmed that running the 2nd TISSS pilot within this Quarter was not going to be possible, we removed it from the KR list for our OKRs. Spare effort we have as a result will go towards supporting other services and looking at where we can take KR#4.

Feedback

We really do welcome any feedback you have for us - whether it be negative or positive, or whether it be a suggestion of something we could try/incorporate in a future Review.
