Release Notes ScorionX

AWS

Over the past months, significant work has been done to make ScorionX available on AWS as well. It has been live since the beginning of May and is available for customers who wish to host ScorionX in the US.

New Functionalities

• Browser tabs now display a title indicating where you are in the tool, giving you better guidance to find the right tab again.
• It was not possible for a student to share a portfolio that does not yet contain any content — this is now possible.
• When logging in as another user from an Admin or User Manager account, the portfolio is now opened in a new tab. You can also have multiple tabs open side by side without receiving a notification. To help you, the tab titles above the browser’s address bar have been updated. They now refer to the user you are logged in as.

See the section ‘New functionality for internal release and pilot’ for additional new features.

Maintenance on ScorionX

Did you know that you can set your own contrast in ScorionX? Three contrast modes are available. The medium and high contrast modes meet the WCAG standard AA and AAA. You can find these in the top-right menu next to your name. Over the past months, we have improved the contrast between many elements.

Minor bugfixes student view

• The element displaying a drop-down list did not always work properly on mobile — this has been resolved.
• When sharing a portfolio and a form to the same person, too many emails were sometimes sent — this has been corrected.
• When sorting forms by progress, the sorting was not performed correctly. Forms are now sorted by the different progress statuses a form goes through, such as invited, in progress, and completed.
• It was possible to add a form to a closed form set — this has been adjusted and is no longer possible.

Minor Bug Fixes – Admin Function

When scheduling data export, it was possible to select a moment in the past. It was also unclear that this export can be scheduled per quarter of an hour — this has been resolved.

The status of the data export was not updated when it had been executed — after this release it will be. You can now read the correct status in the ‘Executed’ tab.

Minor Bug Fixes – Task List

When forwarding a task, the status of the task was not updated correctly, which also meant the form could not be viewed. Several adjustments have been made: firstly, the status is now displayed correctly, and secondly, tasks that still contain the ‘incorrect’ status can still be viewed.

New functionalities for internal release and pilot

Additions following the internal pilot of Variable Management in AdminX:

• It is now possible to import choice lists in Variable Management, complete with error handling. To make it easier, you can also download a sample file that you can use as a basis for your import.
• You can choose whether to insert the answer options of a choice list one by one or all at once — both are supported in the new ScorionX version.

Bug fixes following the internal pilot of Tag Management in AdminX:

• It is not possible to give two tags or two categories the same label. This is to help you manage your tags more effectively.
• Alignment issues on different screen sizes and zoom percentages.

In the new AdminX, you create templates using an XML editor in combination with the preview. In this release, the XML editor has been expanded with various validations and helper elements to make writing XML — and therefore developing templates — easier.
A start has been made on the new form preview, the Previewer. This preview shows how a form will look on desktop, tablet (two sizes), and mobile. You can also see how the form works in different languages if this is configured. Finally, forms will also support three different contrast levels and can be navigated using the tab function and a screen reader. In the coming sprints, this preview will be progressively filled with buttons, text nodes, and various question types, all of which will also meet the above criteria. In preparation, it has already been made possible to load a custom stylesheet, so that the new form can also display its own logo, colors, and font.
User Management has been available in AdminX for a long time. Over the past months it has been expanded with a significant number of functionalities that become available per role. An Admin, for example, has more rights than someone who is only allowed to log in as another user. The following new functions have been implemented in User Management in ScorionX:

• Hover on table to allow editing of users.
• You can now view the out- and in-box per user.
• You can now rearrange and reorganize the columns in the user management table.
• Importing users from an Excel file, supported with clear error handling. To make it easier, you can download a sample file to use for the import.
• You can create role groups and edit them. These role groups can be used when creating a user, so that you can easily enable all roles without having to select each one individually.
• You can export one, multiple, or all users. The export file is a CSV file. For now, the SPSS file format is no longer supported.
• It is now possible to delete users in AdminX. This is only possible under strict conditions, to prevent accidental deletion of data.
• Advanced search has been added to User Management. You can filter and search on any column that is visible on screen.

In the coming period, these functionalities will be put into use by Operations to collect feedback and address any bugs before they are released to you as the end user.

A start has also been made on Group Management in AdminX. The generic table is available, showing all groups along with the basic information you need. In the coming weeks, functionality such as CRUD functions on groups and the ability to create group fields will be added.

New Functionalities

Data Export has been completed and made available to Admins. This feature allows you to prepare various exports, including forms, booklets and variables. You can select exactly what you want to export. This is easier and faster than the Data Manager and serves as a complementary feature. The Data Manager will also become available in due course. Following this roll-out, we have received many requests to make this feature available to data administrators as well. This will also become available in due course.
For additional new functionality, see the section “New functionality for internal release and pilot.”

Maintenance on ScorionX

Over the past few months, we have been working hard to improve the security of ScorionX. For example, we have developed a new login system, which makes the login process even more robust, future-proof and secure. Users who log in with a username and password will see a slightly different GUI. Users who log in via SSO will not notice this change. For user managers and admins, this means that when you log in as a user, the user profile will open in a new tab.

We have also fully integrated the system that supports translations, amongst other things, into our own backend, so that we are no longer dependent on another system.

Minor bugfixes student view

• It turned out that the label for the feedback provider, such as ‘Teacher’, was not being translated correctly; this has now been resolved.
• There was also an error in the translation when sharing a portfolio; this has now been corrected.
• There were a few minor bugs in the email editor when sending forms; this now works better.
• On mobile, closed forms could not always be clicked on or acted upon; this has been resolved.

New functionalites for internal release and pilot

Updates following the internal pilot of Variable Management in AdminX:

• Appropriate validation has been added when changing the type of question or field.
• The ability to create, edit and delete drop-down lists, including the associated validation.

Additions to Template Management in AdminX: Following this release, smart search has been improved, template settings are displayed more concisely, and the workflow from the XML editor has been enhanced and further optimised. This includes improved error reporting, closing the editor takes you back to where you came from, and an extension of the syntax check.

In the new Report Viewer for students, you can now also collapse the navigation, and the remaining bugs have been fixed. A start has also been made to speed up the dashboards. We are working on making this available as soon as possible for the

Changes to User Management in X:

• Workflow and look and feel aligned with other admin functionalities.
• You can now view the outbox and inbox for each user
• Exporting users
• Editing and deleting users (where possible).
• The default view now has fewer columns. You can now rearrange these yourself.

In the next sprint, we will be working on importing users and creating and using role groups. This will be followed by a short internal test, after which this functionality will be made available to everyone.

New Functionalities

At the moment, students can choose to automatically send a reminder to the reviewer seven days after submitting a form. We have now made this functionality configurable. Administrators can define per form template whether a student is allowed to send a reminder, whether the student can enable it (current functionality), or whether it is automatically enabled with a predefined number of days. This functionality is available in the adminX environment. If you would like to use this feature, please contact us at tickets@scorion.com.

When a new version becomes available, a pop-up will appear prompting the user to update. Once the user does so, the existing cache will also be cleared.

For additional new functionality, see the section “New functionality for internal release and pilot.”

Minor bugfixes student view

• On tablets, several pop-ups were not displayed correctly and selection fields did not always function properly; this has been resolved.
• Bulk actions in file management were possible, but on tablets these actions were displayed outside of the visible area. This has been fixed, and the new menu bar has been implemented as well.
• Notifications were not visible on an iPad Pro; this issue has been resolved. Notifications now appear under the account information.
• When students needed to add additional information to a form, some selected information was not fully visible, or the input field appeared disproportionate. This has now been fixed.

Minor bugfixes other environments

• On tablets, several pop-ups were not displayed correctly and selection fields did not always work properly; this has been resolved.
• Bulk actions in file management were displayed outside of the view on tablets; this has been fixed, and the new menu bar has also been implemented.

New functionalites for internal release and pilot

Internal pilot of variable management in adminX:

• Nodes are now also available in variable management. Administrators can create, view, edit, and use these nodes when needed. Created nodes can of course be used in templates.
• Administrators can now also create calculations via variable management. A new calculation editor has been implemented to assist with building syntax. Calculations can also be edited, linked, and deleted.
• Finally, the workflow of variable management has been fully aligned with Template Management. Tables and workflows now share the same look and feel as much as possible.

Enhancements in Template Management in adminX:
After this release, you can also copy templates, and template settings are better categorized.

Enhancements in Tag Management in adminX:
You can now access templates directly via tag management. Tag management has been expanded to allow tags to be moved to a different category. It is also possible to edit the title of a tag or category, or to delete a tag entirely.

In the new student Reportviewer, tables are now supported. After a test day by Operations, several bugs were identified; most of these have been resolved in this version.

Across the entire content management system, consistent delete pop-ups and tooltips have been implemented; these now function uniformly everywhere.

New Functionalities

• It is no longer possible to delete a portfolio from the archive; this is now done automatically according to set retention periods and if the user has not entered any data elsewhere. 
• ScorionX can also be displayed in different time and date formats, which is particularly useful for users in America. 
• The final touches have been made to the ability to display an EULA in ScorionX, which will be implemented for users in due course. Admins will receive more information about this in advance. 
• It is possible to generate a PDF of certain forms. Previously, this always said ‘completed form’, but now it automatically becomes the title of the form. 
• For further new functionality, see the heading ‘New functionality for internal release and pilot’.  

Minor bugfixes student view

• Various pop-ups were not displayed correctly on tablets, but this has now been resolved. 
• On tablets, the sort button was missing from the booklets view. It has been moved to a new location at the bottom of the toolbar.  
• When you could only invite a reviewer by email, you could select a previously used email address and then add it by typing it in. The validation did not work correctly, but this has been resolved.  
• When you could add yourself to a form, the count was incorrect. This has been resolved.  

Minor bugfixes other environments

• Improvements have been made to the ability to sort/change columns in User Management and OSCE, among others, on both desktop and tablet.  

New functionalites for internal release and pilot

• Internal pilot of Template Management in ScorionX: This admin functionality will replace the management of templates (form groups, forms, reports, and dashboards). With this live release, it is possible to create templates, click through within the pop-ups, and link book templates to a report template or dashboard template.  
• Internal pilot of Tag Management in ScorionX: This admin functionality will replace the management of templates in folders. In this release, it is possible to display tags, link and unlink tags, and search for tags.  
• Variable management now also has a start screen for nodes. In upcoming sprints, we will continue working on the nodes so that they can be created, read, modified, and deleted.  
• In the new report viewer, we can now also unlock HTML for texts, and the conditions are included in the display of tables and graphs.

New Functionalities

• Custom Export: From the Admin in ScorionX, it is possible to enable a new export function. Here, you can determine whether you want to export data from a booklet, form, or variable. If you want to export data from a booklet or form, you can also choose which variables (items/fields) you export. If you want to use this feature, please contact Operations at tickets@scorion.com. 
• Mail Editor: The mail editor used to use old techniques. It has been updated and given a new look. 
• Task list: The “bulk bar” has been given a new look and feel, which you will see when you perform a multiple action in the task list. 
• Portfolio export: The name of a portfolio export has been changed to portfolio_lastname_username. This makes it easier to find out which user created an export. 
• Turn-it-in link: Scorion can now also link to Turn-it-in to perform a plagiarism check on submitted work. If you would like to expand your setup with this link, please contact Robert Smeenk at sales@scorion.com  
• International: It is now possible to set date and time formats (YYYY-MM-DD and AM/PM). ScorionX will then display these according to the set notations, which is particularly important for users in America. 

For further new functionalites, see the heading “New functionality for internal release and pilot”. 

Minor bugfixes student view

• Tablet: Recently, several bug fixes have been made for ScorionX on tablets, such as autofocus in the book overview, GUI on the iPad Pro, simultaneous insertion of multiple forms is possible again.  
• Mobile: there were too many pop-ups when inserting forms simultaneously, this has been resolved. 
• When your session expires, the message that your session is about to expire is displayed again. This lets you know when you need to log in again.

Minor bugfixes other environments

• When you, as an assessor, could also give push feedback to the student, the sorting was not correct. This is now working again. 
• If you wanted to open the preview in the task list after the student had sent a reminder, it remained empty. This has been resolved. 

New functionalites for internal release and pilot

• Internal release of the new dashboards. The dashboards now display text, graphs and tables in a new look and feel. The loop elements are also available. The latest techniques are also being used. The following developments are planned: making all elements available via a new API and working on the performance of data loading. 
• Internal pilot of Template Management in ScorionX: This admin functionality will replace the management of templates (form groups, forms, reports and dashboards). With this go-live, it will be possible to view existing templates in ScorionX, edit the XML, link them and adjust settings. The following developments are creating, deleting and copying a template.   
• Internal pilot of Tag Management in ScorionX: This admin functionality will replace the management of templates in folders. Management is done via tags that you, as an admin, can also create and manage yourself. This ensures that, in combination with a “smart search function”, you can easily find templates and see what belongs together.  
• Internal pilot of XML editor in ScorionX: This admin functionality makes it easier to create forms, reports and dashboards in XML. The editor supports functionalities such as comparing forms, helping to build the XML (snippets), inserting variables, error messages. Together with template management, variable management and tag management, this forms Content Management. Operations will be working with these functionalities in the coming period, providing a good test case before the functionality is released for an external pilot. 

 

Bug fixes Student environment

• It was no longer possible to change the title of a form on mobile, this has been fixed. But please note that the pen is now below the three dots.  

• The “counter” of the number of documents under “attachments form” in file management, shows the correct number of files again.  

• The notifications you receive via the “little bell” at the top right are displayed neatly again, previously the words were truncated. 

Bug fixes other environments

• When logging through to someone else’s task list, it is again possible to pass on tasks. This does depend on the setup you have.  

New functionality for pilot

• Custom Export: From the Admin in ScorionX, it is possible to enable a new export function. Here, you can decide whether you want to export the data of a booklet, form or variable. If you want to export the data of a booklet or form, you can also choose which variables (items/fields) to export. If you would like to test this, please contact Operations at tickets@scorion.com. 

 

New functionality

• When sending an invitation to a feedback giver, it is now also possible to add the last name. This can be done both in the e-mail text and the subject line. 

• Students with “private books and forms” can now also work in ScorionX. These are no longer visible to user administrators or teachers who may log on read-only. 

Minor bug fixes student view

• When selecting a form, the panel was scrolling up again, which meant the form was no longer in view, this has been fixed.  

• In some situations, the attachment icon was displayed while no file was attached, this is functioning correctly again. 

• When selecting feedback providers, written text remained when clicking “show previously used email addresses”, this is now cleared. 

• When selecting feedback providers, if an e-mail address was entered more than once it was shown several times in “show previously used e-mail addresses”, this is now shown only once again.  

• In certain cases, it took a very long time for a booklet to open. A hotfix for this was implemented last release. In this release, a durable and robust solution has been made for this and booklets load even faster.  

• If form was previously inserted, the form could still be inserted after it was unlinked from the booklet, this is no longer possible. 

Minor bug fixes other environments and login

• In the archive environment, person fields were no longer displayed, this has been fixed. 

• After last release, the “eye” on password entry was no longer visible on Edge, this is back.  

New functionality for internal release and pilot

The developments below are not yet ready to release for the end user. To ensure quality, Scorion is first working extensively with the functionality itself. If you would like to know more about these developments, please contact Robert Smeenk, Mathilde Sanders or sales@scorion.com. 

• Internal release of the new dasboards. The dashboards now display texts, graphs and tables in a new look and feel. This also makes use of the latest techniques. Next developments are, being able to build (loop) the custom table and working on the performance of loading the data.  

• Internal release of the new admin functionality: Template management in ScorionX, this functionality will eventually replace form groups and forms management. The next development is the ability to read the settings of templates. 

• Internal release of the XML editor where it is possible to open the templates in XML and edit them. It is also possible to build new forms with XML and immediately see how they look and work. The XML editor is part of Template Management. 

• QR code scanning for rating has had some minor adjustments so that it can be piloted in a controlled environment. The pilot will start soon.
