//The single mark submission process will soon become much simpler. The current paper based form will soon be moving online, as development approaches completion, supported by SharePoint 2010.
Academics will be able to directly send submissions to Student Administration whilst notifying their School Administrator at the same time.
Included in the functionality is the ability to input a student’s id, which will query the QLS database to return all possible fields, to make input as quick as possible. This will also filter the list of School Administrators available to the selected students School. Selecting the Module will be just as easy. Modules will be displayed in selection boxes by both code and title for the academic year that was selected.
Enter the original merit mark, and the revised merit mark, and your submission is complete.
The system has a scheduled release date for September / October 2015.
Please note functionality, forms, visuals and times may be subject to change.
//Work has now begun on the conversion of business continuity planning, from a paper based form, to an online version using a combination of SharePoint Workflows and InfoPath forms. With both Local and High Level Risk Registers now in their final stages this has enabled us to progress with Planning’s current final online conversion.
The screenshot shows the initial development of the online form. It will have a familiar look, taking the design of the Local and High Level Risk Registers.
As before, users will be able to print hard copies of their plans, so that in the event of SharePoint or the University network being unavailable, users will be able to access their plans. We are also in the early stages of considering electronic offsite storage, so that users will be able to access their files, from locations other than the University, in digital form even if the University network is unavailable.
Check back for more updates soon.
Please note functionality, forms, visuals and times may be subject to change.
//The SharePoint Workflow Development team have now completed their 3rd and 4th workflows in partnership with Planning & Business Intelligence. Both the Local and High Level Business registers are now ready for use. The final workflow for B&PI is the Business Continuity Planning workflow which is currently in development and is due for completion in the near future.
Earlier in the project we saw the launch of the Academic Timetabling amendment system allowing academics to automatically request and have approved Timetable Changes and Organisational Developments staff development booking system which is now widely used across the University.
Amongst others being currently developed are the Single Mark Submission Form, Freedom of Information Request Process, Timetable Queries, Exam Timetable Queries, Seminar Change Requests and Student Option Requests/Changes.
Those awaiting development include; Purchase Request Form, FOI Appeals Process, Environmental Information Agreements Request Process, Environmental Information Agreements Appeals Process, Data Subject Access Requests Process, Student Withdrawals Log, Student Interruptions Log and Student Transfers Log.
