To still allow us provide feedback to marshals on the marksheet status, we now show that marks have been submitted but not confirmed by the Practique Server by highlighting the session name in red on the exam list page.

Automatic Assessment Configuration (AAC)

The ipad can now be locked to only use the Practique app (sometimes called Single App Mode/Kiosk mode/Guided mode)

With the Assessment configuration, anyone using the ipad can only use the Practique App.   

Single App / Guided mode can now be controlled from within the app - the device does not need to be managed by an MDM to do this. The option is available at any time under the app info button  >> Administrator settings >> Enable guided modeIt .  We can do this for you in the backend (send a service desk ticket) it can be required on a per-instance basis - in which case, when starting the app the user is asked to "Confirm App Self-Lock", this would ideally be done by an administrator preparing the iPad for the exam.

You can also use MDM to do this for all ipads or you can do this on each individual ipad.

The option is available under the app info button on the ipad (bottom right corner of ipad)   >> Administrator settings (you may need to scroll down to see this) >> Enter password >> Enable guided mode

Once enabled it can only be disabled from within the app Administrator settings.

Enrolment

Improvements to enrolment of ipads

(This information may be required by your local IT). When using Configurator 2 any filename is accepted for the enrolment details file, but the information must still be in plist format.
The app can be re-enrolled by adding new details on the MDM or Configurator 2 without first un-enrolling.

add in a section title to a marksheet

A criterion type of label is now available; this will show text across the width of the marksheet. Previously, if you tried to add a 'label' the text on the ipad was towards the left hand side (like a question to be marked) rather than fitting across the page like a section title.

Related to PSD-1944, the reworking of the UI should avoid this occuringoccurring

PSD-1920: marshall Marshal UI doesn't show student 'did not attend'

PSD-1772: app App crash on swipe

On candidate and marshall marshal iPads the swipe gesture is supported to allow the user to return to their schedule screen. However, previously on the candidate iPad there is further work needed so we examiner iPad if you use the swipe gesture the app would crash.  We have disabled the gesture at this time (just for the examiner); the button at the top-left should be used by the examiner instead.
